Ohio Guide Collection
Description: The caption reads: "Roller Mill Grinding Enamel for Paint, Cleveland. Sherwin-Williams Co." Sherwin Williams was founded in 1866 by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams in Cleveland, Ohio. They created ready-mixed paints in 1880 so consumers no longer had to buy the ingredients separately and do the mixing themselves. By 1905, they were selling paint across the United States, Canada, South America and Europe. View on Ohio Memory.
