Antique Advertising Tin Pail Can CREOLITE For Floor Painting Heath & Milligan

Description

RARE Antique Advertising Tin Pail Can CREOLITE For Floor Painting Heath & Milligan. The tin can part mesures 5 1/2" high and 5 3/8" wide. Has lots of age appropriate wear but is complete - see my 10 detailed photos. I could not find any other like it listed anywhere past or present. Dates to pre 1917 era when the company who made this was consolidated. I would estimate it is from 1905.
Heath & Milligan would eventually become part of Glidden:
At the age of 85, Francis Glidden retired from the business, turning the company over to Adrian D. Joyce and his associates after a public sale. Joyce became president of The Glidden Company when it was incorporated in 1917, a position in which he would remain until 1950, when his son, Dwight P. Joyce, succeeded him. Within the first two years of his career at the helm of Glidden Adrian Joyce oversaw the acquisition of ten paint and varnish companies across the country. The companies, some of which had been established as early as the 1850s, included the Adams & Elting Co., American Paint Works, T.L. Blood & Co., Campbell Paint & Varnish Co., Forest City Paint & Varnish Co., Heath & Milligan Manufacturing Co., Heath & Milligan Manufacturing Co. of California, Nubian Paint & Varnish Co., Twin City Varnish Co., and A. Wilhelm Co.
