Paint manufacturing Is one of
the key industries In our econ
omy, but its use is so common
place few people stop to think of
its importance.
Hughes pointed out during an
interview with him that there are
few things we use that are not
painted. either as q protective
measure or to beautify an object.
In most uses III combination of
the two.
A veteran of World War /,
Hughes got into the paint game
shortly after his discharge from
the army in 1919.
Like most soldiers, Hughes said
that he spent a lot of time talk
ing and wondering about his fu-
ture when he was discharged.
He had no definite plans or ideas
about his future. He said, how
ever, that he knew he wasn't go
ing to be satisfied with a job
that didn't offer him some kind of
challenge.
When he first went to work for
the Stewart Paint Co, then a
small firm. he had no idea that
mixing paint would be what he
was looking for. 1t wasn't very
long. however, before he discover
ed that there is no way you can
be sure two patches of paint will
be the same.
This was what he was looking
for, and at the same time he
learned that the paint industry
was highly competitive and that
paint manufacturers are constant
ly trying to improve their pro-
duct.
Hughes left the Stewart Paint
Co. in 1927 when Milton Newman
present firm head, formed the
Speed-O-Laq Co.
At that time Hughes was the
only employee and Mr.. Newman
likes to tell how Hughes designed
their first paint mixer from a dis.
carded drili press.
It's not at all unusual for q
Negro to be q firms first EN-.
ployee, but Il is unusual for
them to grow with the firm and
become an executive In that
firm
The Speed-O-Laq Co. is now
the second largest paint manu-
facturer in the northwest. and the
president, Newman. says un-
equivocaliy, that he doubts very
seriously that the company would
have grown as fast as IL has with
out Hughes.
It's awful1y hard to get
Hughes to talk about himself,
but others are not 80 reluctant.
As the plant expanded. Hughes
tasks increased to the extent until
now most Of the things he used to
do are done by other people and
now he spends most Of his day be
hind a desk. planning production
schedules. procuring raw mater
iais. and working out the other
bugs that constantly plague paint
manufacturers. Even today. using
the most modern methods and
techniques. there Is still no guar
antee that that two patches OF
paint win be the same color.
