Notes
Murphy Varnish Company was founded by Franklin Murphy in 1865. Initially, the company made varnish alone, later adding other lines of manufacture such as surfacers, oil colors, and enamels.
The main factory in Newark grew to almost the size of three city squares; and it established other factories in Chicago and Cleveland and Montreal.
