Smith's cream is used to retard drying and extend the window when you can blend paint together.
Jone's cream is what we use in our coffee. They have the best dairy around...

Getting back to your original question, Bruce's explanation of Smith's Cream is quite relevant. I think his answer to Jones' Cream was supposed to be a joke. Both actually serve the same purpose but are products of different companies. If you do a search for jones' cream, you should open the one for smalts help. (the other is this post) A better explanation is given within.

When we created a competitive product at Chromatic, Smith's Cream was a registered trademark so we named ours Jone's.
Both are basically hydrogenated linseed oil to be used as an oil painting medium with pictorial oil colors on outdoor bulletins. It adds body and a wet base for oil color blending. It also adds body and wet edge to any enamel which is compatable with linseed oil.
The manufacturing process merely adds body to the material as in hydrogenated petroleum oil is petroleum jelly (Vaseline) or hydrogenated vegitable oil is margarine.
