Excerpt from The Murphy A B, C, System: Of Carriage Painting

Yet it is not the fault of the Carriage Painter that this state of affairs exists. No class of mechanics is more keenly alive to the growing demands on them for improvement, nor has any class of work men put forward more earnest endeavors to adapt their methods and materials to the requirements of car riage building. The solution of the problem How can a carriage be painted quickly and yet durably has taxed the thought and enlisted the effort of every Carriage Painter in the land. To gain rapidity without sacrificing perma nence and durability, to safely reduce the work of weeks into the work of days, to paint perfectly and yet with push; these were the results sought for. Rapidity alone was easily at tainable by a liberal use of driers but this proved preju dicial to durability. Experimental changes and variations of the old system have been tried, and sufficiently, it may be asserted, to fully demonstrate the impossibility of con juring up speed and durability, with materials'the very na ture of which imposes slowness and prudence.
