Estate sale find, vintage original sales brochure for Sherwin Williams Paint, Who Makes the Best Paints & Varnishes, 1907.
Sherwin-Williams dates from 1866, when Cleveland bookkeeper Henry Sherwin invested in Truman Dunham & Co., a paint distributorship.  After the partnership dissolved in 1870, he formed Sherwin, Williams, & Co. with Edward Williams and A.T. Osborn.  For its first factory, in 1873 the company acquired a cooperage in Cleveland from Standard Oil.
Sherwin-Williams incorporated in Ohio on July 16, 1884, two years after Osborn sold his interest in the company while retaining the retail operations.  The company grew through acquisitions and expansions in the late 19th and early 20th century.   In the early 1920s, the company became the largest coatings manufacturer in the U.S.
