Lacquer and associated products factory in the world. (See Story. Pap 4). toe* Two December 6, 1903 May 31, 1952 jHjctld 3. Jfortjer It is with a deep sense of loss that we report the sudden death on Saturday, May 31, 1952, of our beloved Vice President and General Manager, Mr. Michel J. Fortier. His death occurred while he was playing golf at Pepper Pike, Cleveland. We have lost a wonderful friend and leader. Mr. Fortier's career with the Company was an outstanding example of making good on every job and in every position he held. He applied his full energies and ability to everything he did and served in each capacity in such a way that he was ready and prepared for the job ahead. He served with distinction in every post he held, in addition to finding time for many outside interests and many contributions to the paint industry as a whole. "Mike", as he was affectionately known to his host of friends and associates, was "true blue". He was a leader and had the ability to inspire others to improve themselves and to do a better job. He was never too busy with all of his responsibilities to see anyone and he gave generously of his time and advice to all who sought it. No detail was too small, no problem too large. He had infinite capacity for work and accomplishment and put the same energy and enthusiasm into everything he did--whether business or a game of golf. He liked to see things "first hand" out in the field and to call on customers and brandies and talk to our sales representatives. Often the information thus gathered formed the basis of important decisions when he returned home, perhaps a new product, a change in plans, or an idea to pass along to others. "Mike" Fortier believed that people were the key factors in successful operations and that the way to solve problems and sit uations was to put the right man into them, then help that man make good. He was an excellent selector and developer of men and many of our present successful managers-and executives were of his selection. He was keenly interested in young men. Only a few days before his death he concerned himself about a young lad whom be wanted to help get a good education. And to we say goodbye to a great friend and co-worker, the imprint of whose deeds and memory will long remain. THE SHEKWM-WILUAMS CO. Mr. Fortier had completed 24 years at service with the Sherwin-Williams organisation. Mr. Fortier joined the John Lucas Company, a Sherwin-Wnibrns subsidiary, in 192*. Three years later he was named a sales representative in New Orleans for the parent company. In 19SJ he became Division Manager in New Orleans and in 1940 he was made District Manager of the old Mississippi Valley District. In 194$ he was advanced to the position of District Manager of North Central District at Cleveland. A year brer he was named Vice President and General Manager of the Acme ; elected : year be was also named to the Baud of Directors of the Company. In December 194$ he was appointed Vice President and General Manager of the Shcrwin-Wiilbnu Co, the position he held at his death. 0007~SUP-000004469 N 4365 PROMOTIONS Walter jfilfein It is with deep regret that we learned of the death of Walter F.

He was called into military service in June of 1951. Palette & Brush Receives IEA Award Chris Joakmaa has been promoted to of. Bee manager of the Stockkeeping Dept.

Lake Street. lit 1899, the old Calumet factory equipment ni re moved end replaced with twelve 30-iaeb standard S-W liquid paint mills, miners, aad thinniap taalta. The chief product, were SWP, floor enamel, and roof paiata. t6e Plant The Chicago plant of S-W haa shown an enormous develop ment from the original Calumet Paint factory. In 1888, the Sherwin-Williams Company bought this small plant which had been used for manufacturing railroad paint by the Pullman Car Company. At that time the equipment included 1 stone mill, 12 small iron milla for coach colors, a stag crusher, a pulverizer, and 2 stone mills for making freight car paints. Today we know that original budding as No. 18. Mr. George A. Martin was em ployed in 1890 as plant superintendent and the factory staff was composed of twelve men, who later rose to the presidency of the company.

S-W decided to maaafaetare such products in their own factories. The first product was beta naphtha!. The Dry Color Department bcfaa this work bat due to the increased demand, a new Chemical Products De partment was established. Dr. Ney, who had past experience in maaufactariaf intermediates in Cermaay, was encaged aloof *ith several other chemists. The chief products were uesa aspaiasi, paramiraaauB aaa n^t.r.l. Because ft was impossible to proears any of these items from Cermaay, every effort was made for maximum production. Speed was the key note. As the maaafaetare of M.N.P.T. started, oae of the first batches exploded aad destroyed the building. How. * comparatively short dam, the processes were sim plified aad the uemical Products plaat began to operate smoothly. Dr. Vaa Stone aad Wyatt Miller, aow General Saperiateadeat, were the pioneers la developiaf this paint. About 1920, there was a heavy demand for quick-drying finishes for automobiles. The oleoresinous type of finish then used was too slow for the production of automobiles. Nitrocellulose lacquers were developed and fiaishlaf time was reduced to a few hours.

The extreme temperatures can produce heat exhaustion and make one more susceptible to the possibili ties of dermatitis. The victim of heat exhaustion gets listless, dazed and loses some of his alertness and efficiency. This condition is an invitation for an accident. If you become dizzy, stomach-sick, or chilly, REPORT TO THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT AT ONCE Although thoro is little wo eon do to prevent tho hoot of tho tummor weather, wo eon toko precautions to avoid tho consequences. To stovo off heat exhaustion, a sentsoible diet should bo followed. Go easy on the heavy foods and alcoholic beverages, and If you perspire a lot, occasional salt tablets should be taken with plenty of cool water. Dermatitis can be prevented by following several simple rules. Frequent washing of the exposed parts of tho body and a dally shower are of the utmost Importance. Work clothes should be changed frequently to eliminate contact with Irritating materials. 0007-SHP-000004477 Pafeff* 4 Irvcfc Tank Cleaning Safety Entry into tanks, tubs and vessels re* quires precautions to insure the safety of the employees involved.

S-W INDUSTRIAL TEAM The S-W team, which belongs to the Palmer Park Industrial League, had won 6 games and lost 8 when we went to press. Keeping up this pace, they should end up in about fifth place. Burnside Steel is leading the league with ten victories and one defeat. Our team, which is made up of men from all of the departments, has played hard, and always put out a good game. One of their accomplishments was a triple play in a game with Acme Steel. A description of this was published in one of the local papers, which read as follows: In this game, the paint men turned in a triple play. A sizzling line drive off the bat of Madderom was snared by Miel at third base. He threw the ball to Torrelli at second, who tag ged the runner coming from first and then tagged going back to second from third. This is just a sample of the action you can witness if you come over and watch our Industrial Team play ball. C. -- Mike Rossier, Mechanical.
