Painting Russell Miller
Mill a Large Job
COVERING BUILDING WITH TWO
COATS TAKES CREW MORE
THAN six WEEKS.

Douglas Russell, who is in charge of
the work of painting the Russell-Mil-
Ter mill here, stated that it is one of
the biggest, if not the biggest jobs of
painting in the country.
Work is being started now with a
crew of six men, and will be pushed
rapidly for six to eight weeks before
the work is completed. More than a
ton and half of lead is used in the
work, and the pay of the men engaged
in it, amounts to nearly thousand
dollars.
Few buildings in the country, if any,
have the painting surface to be cover
ed of the local mill. No sky scraper
in New York takes nearly the amount
of paint, and no mill in the Twin
Cities approaches it. The jamestown
mill is about half the size, and other
mills in North Dakota do not nearly
approach the local concern.
