E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company is a chemical company more commonly referred to as the DuPont Company. The Fabrics and Finishes Department produced DuPont's consumer lines of paints and finishes. DUCO was a durable, quick-drying lacquer used for appliances. It was the standard finish for GM vehicles. This small collection consists of sales photographs that show window displays and art sales exhibits with a live artist demonstrating how to use DUCO paints to repurpose old furniture and household objects in front of a crowd of people. The photographs were taken between 1945 and 1950, primarily by Fred Hess & Son, photographers.

Duco was a durable, quick-drying lacquer used for appliances. It was the standard finish for GM vehicles. Dulux was glossier, which made it more popular than Duco. Lucite paint was introduced in the 1950s and was less expensive and more durable than its predecessors. This small collection consists of one album of photographs of finishes facilities (i.e., Refinish Service Warehouses/wholesale) and retail paint stores.
