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.
