Eaglo Paint Update from Robert Baptista
Hi Frank,
The Eaglo Paint and Varnish Corporation was located at 49-20 Fifth St. in Long Island City. It was established in the early 1900s. Herbert E. Hillman was Technical Director for many years.
Attached [below] is an ad for Eaglo Paint that appeared in the Bridgeport Post on May 11, 1973.
The New York-New Jersey metropolitan area was home for many of the largest paint manufacturers such as Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore. The raw materials for paint, namely pigments, solvents, resins and additives, were readily available from local industries.
Robert
Thank you Robert!
