Glidden and Joy Varnish Co. churned out approximately 1,000 gallons of paint a week and delivered them via horse drawn wagons to their customers. The company was known in the late nineteenth century mostly for their lacquer, called "Jap-a-lac." This plant was at the crossing of the New York Central and the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railroads, just north of today's Opportunity Corridor between East 79th and Buckeye. | Date: ca. 1882 | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
