I was looking for something earlier today and in a pile of papers came across this tri-fold brochure from Kem-Tone. I have NO IDEA where it came from or how long I have owned it so do not even ask. All I know is that I have seen a lot of buzz about authentic color choices for mid-century homes of late, especially on the great
Retro Renovation Site and
Facebook pages. That got me thinking that I should get this scanned and up on the blog so that it can stay here as an on-line resource. I am guessing this dates to the 1940's (Kem-Tone was first offered in 1941) because of the hair styles and clothing styles of the women on the front and the back (not shown - yet!) of the pamphlet. It is not dated, but, a code suggests 1944 may be possible. If you want to read more about the origins of this product, click
here.
I have uploaded this large enough so that you should be able to click then click again to zoom and read it easily. Also, feel free to download as needed/appropriate. I do not own the image, it is owned by Kem-Tone.
