Henry Sherwin
Fun Fact
At the time, “paint” per se was not readily available. Instead customers went to specialized local merchants like Sherwin, Williams & Company, where pigments, oils, and stabilizers were mixed to approximate the color requested — an expensive but not terribly reliable process. Sherwin himself perfected and patented the first resealable can in 1877, and in 1880 Sherwin-Williams’ lab developed an improved pigment-grinding process to allow almost indefinite particle suspension, meaning that paint remained stable for hours instead of separating almost instantly like vinegar and water. With these breakthroughs, Sherwin-Williams was able to introduce pre-mixed, precisely color-matched, and ready-to-use paints.
