The regional system of sales management and control makes possible the more intensive cultivation of business and preserves personal contacts vital to successful selling. The assimilation of these formerly independent companies into the Glidden organization has brought with it a variety and breadth of experience which a single organization is.apt to lack, and it has made economies impossible otherwise. Every painting need in industry or home is served by a Glidden product. For every surface that needs protection and decoration there is a Glidden paint, varnish, lacquer or enamel. The good will represented in Glidden products, designs,and trade names constitutes a value upon which it would be difficult to place an adequate monetary valuation. a GLD00Z997 == Pat Sixtftn The Pacific Coast paint and varnish manufacturing plant located in San Francisco, Calif.

In addition to serving as retail outlets, these stores also serve as centers of distribution to other retail stores handling Glidden Products in the neighboring towns and cities. These stores also are used as experimental laboratories for new merchandising and advertising plans. This combination of retail and wholesale function in one institu tion is obviously advantageous. The primary purpose is to afford a permanent outlet where Glidden products shall be sold exclusively and where the control is centered in the - Glidden executive organ ization. Glidden retail stores arc locally managed by competent paint men. Attractive interiors and exteriors are recognized as important fac tors in developing business and holding confidence. The gradual expansion of this type of retail and wholesale store is logically indicated.

The Euston White Lead Plant of The Glidden Company not only serves The Glidden Company and subsidiaries with respect to this important raw material, but it enjoys a very satisfying volume of busi ness from manufacturers in other lines where White Lead is essential. The Euston patented process, owned and operated exclusively by the Euston Lead Company, represents the most modern and efficient development of White Lead production. Elcctrolytically refined metallic lead is converted by a process of chemical solution and pre cipitation into the basic carbonate of lead or White Lead of highest quality. Speed of conversion and very economical manufacturing costs are outstanding advantages of the Euston process. Metallic lead is con verted into Dry White Lead in barrels at the Euston plant in a period of from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, while the old dutch process requires from three to four months to produce the same results. The Euston process is also flexible, permitting the making of White Lead of various differing characteristics to meet the individual requirements of the consuming trade. In the ceramic industry Euston Dry White Lead is used in the making of dishes, tile, and art ware:, and in the ferro-enamel trade, for the enameling of sheet metals. Color manufacturers use Euston White Lead for the manufacture of chrome yellows and chrome greens. Euston White Lead, ground in pure linseed oil, is extensively em ployed for general painting purposes. "Lcad-O-zin," a specialty prod uct, consisting of Euston White Lead and zinc oxide, ground in linseed oil, is manufactured and sold by the various Glidden divisions. 2 Pat Sin/tttn GLt)003000 s A view of the Oakland plant in which is manufactured lithopone for the Pacific Coast trade and also bleached barytes, barium chemicals and whiting.

The operation of the three lithopone plants, one located in the cast, one in the middle west, and one in the far west, gives The Glidden Company unusual dis tributing facilities for serving the manuraciuring trade. From a production of 350 tons a month, the lithopone business of the Chemical & Pigment Company has grown to in excess of 3,000 tons a month, making The Glidden Company the second largest lithopone manufacturer in the world. a-- P-je Twenty-one GLD003002 -P Dhe Food Products Division of Phe Glidden Company HE Glidden Food Products Company, operating a large modern Tplant and refinery in Chicago, serves the baking and confectionery industries, as well as manufacturing and marketing Dinner Bell Nut Margarine to the retail trade. The refining of edible oils for use in food products is a business of growing importance and many of the most important makers of food products are numbered among the customers of this division. The products manufactured in this plant include refined cocoanut oil, plastic butters, hard butters and nut margarines. Manufacturers of all pure food products are keenly receptive to new products and new applications which will strengthen their position in the competitive market or give them new efficiencies in the manu facturing processes. The laboratories of the Glidden Food Products Company have been particularly successful in meeting these conditions and a large and constantly growing volume of sales is the direct result of this enterprise and close co-operation.
