A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GLIDDEN COMPANY
The size imtl variety of enterprises of The Glidden Company interest many of our employees. This brief history will help you to answer their questions.
The name is derived from Francis K. Glidden, who started a varnish business in Cleveland just after the close of the Civil War. Jii 1883 he look in his three sons and incorporated The Glidden Varnish Company with u capi talization of $100,000. From the outset considerable atten tion was given to laboratory and experimental work.
Glidden first combined color with varnish to make a varnish stain, which was introduced in 1898 as Jnp-.A-I.ac. In 11)0:3 the first four-color advertising to appear in any magazine carried the story of Jap-A-l.ac.
This progressive policy, coupled with the exacting atten tion paid to the establishment and maintenance of highest quality standards was responsible for the rapid expansion of facilities to take care of the increasing demands of new customers.
In 11)17 Hr. Glidden sold the entire assets of his com pany to The Glidden Company, a new corporation founded by Mr. Adrian 1). Joyce, and his associates, of whom Mr. H. II. llorsburgh still continues in active collaboration.
From that time forward the company has grown, some times in spectacular manner. 'The acquisition of sources of raw materials accounts for part of this growth; the sheer soundness of Glidden management policies accounts for the balance.

FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT
Emerson's rcnmrk, "An institution is the lengthened shadow of one nmn," never was better illustrated than here. Groat as the "lengthened shadow" now is, it still is lengthening because of the irrepressible, dynamic, driving force of this great man.
"The Chief" is never truly happy except when adding to or building on this ever-expanding organization. Once designated by a national magazine as "One of the nation's three greatest salesmen," lie lias grown into one of the country's biggest industrial leaders.
Whether flying over the Andes, or searching through tropical jungles for oil-bearing seeds, or galloping head long over his farm on his "full-handful" of horse, he never wavers in his course and he always knows exactly where he is bound. A man of almost instant decision, his actions arc never ruthless, but stem from a true sense of what is fair. Even so, he still is a push-over for his twelve grand-children.

EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT
If "It. II.," as he is referred to by everyone around headquarters, had entered the Army instead of business he would be a full General by now, completely the master of logistics, and known throughout the ranks as "Hard llittiu' Ilonicr."
Possessed of an uncanny ability to look around corners, his mastery of the Company's affairs does not stop at knowing what the figures say, but extends to why they say it.
Of powerful physique and unbounded energy, he lias been associated with Mr. Joyce for the past forty-four years, quietly but effectively organizing, co-ordinating and consolidating each new unit into a smooth fitting part of the whole.
Strangers might regard his keen ability to see directly through to the heart of a problem ns an indication of his "toughness," but his door always is open and his sound, friendly advice and counsel is available alike to the office janitor or visiting managers. Stop in and see hint sometime.

VICE-PRESIDENT
Here is a man who has learned the art of graceful living. We never have inquired into his formal education, but he apparently knows every thing about everything.
As a mere stripling he was a man of considerable stature in the paint industry and now he is a national authority in the food industry. A superb salesman, lie also is the directing genius of our purchasing department. His industry, persistence and capacity for getting things done without fuss, enable him to carry a tremendous load of work without disturbing in the least his charming equanimity. It is rumored that in years gone by be occasionally expressed mild impatience with certain imperfections in the organization, but one never would suspect this now. His polished urbanity and genial outlook on life make working with him a distinct pleasure and privilege for all of bis associates.

The Campbell Paint K: Varnish Company division for more tlmii sixty years lias been an intimate part of the history of St. Louis.
Overlooking the Mississippi and situated near the land ing plaee of the Lewis Jfc Clark Expedition, this plant has acquired the dignity of age an<l wisdom of rich experience, retaining all the while the enthusiasm of its youthful local management.
When the local shipyards were commissioned to make ocean-going boats, the formulation of salt water finishes was handled as just another part of the daily routine. Without the interrelation of (ilidden Heseareh and experi ence, many months of valuable time would have been lost in acquiring the knowledge theretofore never needed so far inland.
A full line of paints is produced here and this division dominates the field in this whole trading area.

Our Pacific outpost jumped into the war at its beginning and has done a remarkable job in producing thinner, lac quer and camouflage paint.
In September, 19^2, this plant received the largest indi vidual thinner order taken on the Pacific coast. This order was handled so expeditiously that it has been followed by others. In its own laboratory this plant developed a cam ouflage lacquer of exceptional merit. They challenge any other division to equal their record of production of defense business per man-hour employed.
They also produce u full line of industrial and trade sales paints, varnishes and lacquers, with distribution facil ities covering the Pacific Coast and the Great Northwest.
THE GLIDDEN COMPANY
This plant bundles much of the service work for the Pacific coast organization, especially that pertaining to naval aviation.
Much help is given also in the development of the special protective coatings used at the Hasic Magnesium plant at Las Vegas, Nevada, and the Ilenry Kaiser Fontana Steel Mills, Fontana, California.
A small group of highly trained employees keeps this plant running at top speed.

Here in 19JJ0 The Glidden Company entered the food business. It was started under the name of The Glidden Nut Hotter Company. Later when tin'properties of Durkee Famous Knuds were acquired, the Durkee name was adopted here. 'Phis plant now boasts the finest and most modern equipment, including a hydrogen gas plant, and produces a complete line of refined and hydrogenated vegetable oils, bald butter, and shortening.
A completely equipped bakery laboratory is maintained for the development of new products and for the benefit of the linking trade generally. This, with the exact laboratory control maintained at all times for the cheeking of manu facturing processes, gives the production of this plant the highest reputation for quality.

This plant was built in 1921 and equipped for the crush ing of copra, the dried meat of the coconut. The main sources of the United States' supply of copra are the South Sea Islands and the Philippine Islands, now so prominently in the news.
Steamers from the Orient bring their cargoes in bulk to our dock, where it is unloaded by great air suction pipes. One such steamer was due to land the week after the Pearl Harbor invasion and was unheard of for weeks, finally turning up at a remote port in Australia. Mouths later it steamed bravely across the Pacific and landed safely. Another time one of the last of the windjammers cleared Port Moresby with 500 tons of copra for our account, became becalmed and more than six months later showed up in San Francisco with the Captain dead and the crew and first mate delirious from the heat and starvation.
Pending shipments from the Orient which have been tem porarily delayed, this plant is now engaged in pressing linseed oil from flaxseed grown in the states of Montana and Oregon.

In 11)21) The Glidden Company purchased a crushing mill here and rapidly enlarged its facilities so that now the business comprises three divisions.
The first division is a crushing plant equipped to extract fats from oil hearing seeds through an expeller process. It can handle almost any type of seed and through its mighty presses pass copra, babassu nuts, palm kernels, uricuri, tucum, sesame seed, flaxseed, soybeans, eohune and eoquito nuts.
The second division is a completely equipped refinery where the oils arc neutralized, hydrogenated and deodorized. Here also is a large winterizing plant. In this division also are produced large quantities of high ratio vegetable oil shortenings, hardened butter and other vegetable oil prod ucts.
The third division covers the manufacture of mayon naise, salad dressings, Trench dressing and margarine.
The plant covers an urea of approximately five acres and handles all processing operations from the raw materials to the shipment of the finished product. A large fleet of trucks is maintained for the distribution and sale of packaged products, and warehouses and offices arc maintained for the servicing of the eleven western states.

The term "Naval Stores" originally denoted only pine tar
and pine pilch. In early colonial days these products were
exported to Great Britain for use by the British Navy, Since
that time the term Naval Stores has been expanded and non
covers practically all products derived from the southern pine
tree, such as pine tar, pine pitch, rosin, turpentine, dipcntciie,
pine oil, etc. The Naval Store industry is one of the many
forest industries of southeastern United States. Its general well
being and ordered prosperity contributes greatly to the support
of a broad policy of forest management devoted to reforesta
tion and the maintenance of the pine forests of the Atlantic
coastal plains.
The Gliddcn Company, realizing the importance of the
.i?t
Naval Stores to the southeastern portion of the United States, entered this field of activity by purchasing several destructive
SOUTHERN PINE CHEMICAL CO. Jacksonville, Florida
distillation plants scattered through North t'arolina, Georgia and Florida. These plants arc operated ns a division of The Gliddcn Company under the name of Southern Pine t'liemieul
Company and have been given the benefit of energetic, sound management and a research program that has
revolutionized this entire industry.
It was ns a result of The Gliddcn research policy that the Company entered into the Gum Naval Stores in
DUO, producing rosin and turpentine from largo plants located /it Jacksonville, Florida, and Valdosta, Georgia.
These plants were the first central Naval Stores plants in the south and have developed new and better products
hitherto unknown to this industry. Thus, through these two southern divisions The Gliddcn Company has
contributed in a broad and effective manner to the development of the southern pine forest.
Gliddcn Naval Stores have played a necessary and important part in the war program. Pine tar, pine tar
oil and dipentene arc essential agents. For example, reclaimed rubber is produced by digesting finely ground
scrap rubber /it high temperature under heavy pressure with suitable reclaiming agents. Of these, pine tar,
pine tar oil and dipentene arc essential.

VEGETABLE OIL DIVISION
"Su*ut
Flaxseed oil, more commonly known as linseed oil, is an important raw material used in the manufacture of paint, and when properly treated can also be used for edible pur poses.
Gliddcu research developed the fact that flaxseed grown in the San Joaquin nod Imperial Valleys in California has a higher iodine value than that grown anywhere else in the I'nited States. Accordingly, this modern crushing plant was erected in Southern California, making available to Gliddcu factories the finest linseed oil in America.
Typical of Glidden foresight was the action taken in the spring of 1941 by our seed expert. Noticing that a blight was attacking the flaxseed harvest, lie withdrew immedi ately from production several thousand pounds of the finest seed which lie distributed to the flaxseed growers, thereby enabling them to defeat the blight and emerge the following year with a lilight-free crop.

This division produces litlioponc of various types and a full line of cadmium colors. The zinc used in the litlioponc plant is obtained from residues and fumes from smelters, thus reclaiming material which otherwise would be wasted. The barium ore required in the process is shipped in from Tennessee and Georgia.
A full line o-f cadmium lithopone colors are produced here and cover a wide range of reds, maroons and yellows.
Cadmium metal also is recovered from foreign and domestic slags and residues and a lead-tin recovery unit restores to commercial use considerable quantities of metal.
The management of this plant also supervises the pro duction of the adjoining plant of the American Zirconium Corporation, and a modern laboratory has just been com pleted to accommodate the large staff of expert research men and technicians.

'i'llis is one of the most interesting plants in the (Hidden organization, and its powdered metals, chiefly copper, iron, tin and lead will play a prominent part in post-war indus try. Here also enormous tonnages of cuprous oxide have been produced for use in anti-fouling ship bottom paints.
Industry generally has greeted our iron powder with great enthusiasm and already it is being used widely in the manufacture of intricate gears and parts. These items now can be pressed into the exact form required, doing away with the tedious grinding and milling heretofore found nec essary. Our copper ponder is pressed into oillcss and fool proof bearings and parts covering a wide range of indus trial products.
This division also produces red lead and various types of litharge and antimonial lead for use in the manufacture of storage batteries.
Wilkes type metal produced here is used in the printing of leading newspapers throughout the country.
A research laboratory and staff of experts is main tained here for the purpose of maintaining our position in the vanguard of American industry.

Whereas the so-called old dutch process requires three
mouths to oxidize leads in pots with acetic acid and tan-
bark, with the Euston process the lead is sputtered and
oxidized by a chemical process resulting in continuous
production.
The process used here lias been so far developed and
refined, and the staff of operators 1ms been so well trained
that for many years this plant lias had the lowest accident

DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS, ELMHURST, LONG ISLAND, N. Y.
This division was startl'd in 1850 by E. R. Durkcc, who ground spices in his home by night and peddled them house-lo-house during the day. With the assistance of his wifc.be hit upon a formula for a unique dressing, one which resisted separation in freezing temperatures or rancidity in hot weuther. This was the beginning of Durkee's Famous Dressing and .Meat Sauce.
When the United States Government passed the Pure Food & Drug laws in 190(1, the Durkcc manufacturing standards for spices were used as a basis for establishing standards for the entire industry. In 1939 (ten years after acquisition by The Glidden Company) the recommendations of the Durkcc laboratory were used as a basis for establishing standards of fill for Spice packages in connection with the enforcement of the slack-filling laws for package foods and drugs.
Our present Cocoanut business was started over sixty years ago by The Dunham Manufacturing Company, the first to manufacture and sell a prepared cocoanut in the slued form to the public. After this business was acquired by The Glidden Company it was expanded rapidly, taking over the distribution of the output of three Cocoanut plants in the Philippine Islands. 'Phis latter expansion, plus the Elmhurst processing of fresh Cocoanuts, represents almost 525% of a total normal industry of over a hundred million pounds annually.
The following brief summary of the items manufactured and sold by tbe Condiment and Cocoanut Division will indicate the many sources of raw materials and the wide variety of items which arc featured by this Division. Durkcc's Famous Dressing and Meat Sauce:
An all-purpose fourteen Spice Sauce--delicious on sandwiches, meats, fish and salads. Durkcc's Worcestershire Sauce:
The skillful blending of many Spices with Soya anil Vinegar, resulting in a delicious Sauce for steaks, chops, etc. Cocoanut--Desiccated and Prepared: Manufactured (prior to the war) in the Philippine Islands and at F.lmhurst from fresh Coconnuts imported from the West Indies--always popular as an ingredient for pies and desserts in every home--and an impor tant raw material for bakers and confectioners.
