"Clyde safeline road and kerb marking paints " : advert issued by J & D Hamilton, Glasgow, in the Scottish Municipal Annual 1951

The Scottish Municipal Annual was issued 'under the patronage' of various Scottish local government associations and institutions and it was aimed to increase knowledge as to the 'special features, civic and industrial, of the ancient Burghs and Counties of Scotland'. It lists many councils, government agencies and other institutions and carries numerous advertisements for companies associated with municipal 'requirements' such as building materials, professional services, manufacturers and suppliers.

 

In this, the 1951 edition, an advert for one of the service companies - J & D Hamilton of Duart St, Glasgow who manufactured road and kerb marking paints. The products are illustrated by this fine photo of three men painting white lines in a very traditional fashion with paint, brushes and pots! It is fair to say that gone are the days when HSE could be managed by way of some 'keep left' flags held in place with rocks!
