Color Putty Company, Inc. - Manufacturer of the highest quality colored oil-based and waterborne putties for woodwork, paneling, furniture

Color Putty® Company was founded in June of 1963 by Paul R. Kubly. Paul was
a professional painter from 1936 until 1960 when he became a salesman for paint
sundries goods. He and his wife Evelyn, also owned a local paint store from 1946-
1962. From his experience in sales and paint sundries, Paul realized that there was
a need for a colored putty product to fill imperfections in woodwork and paneling.

With the introduction of Color Putty, Paul was very successful in selling putty literally
from the trunk of his car. His wife, Evelyn, and their daughter, Sharon Priewe, were
kept busy filling and shipping orders, as well as performing office/bookwork duties
while Paul traveled 200-300 miles daily and attended various trade shows promoting
Color Putty. Paul's sales and marketing skills established Color Putty as a product of
quality and usefulness within the industry.

Originally packaged in glass jars, Color Putty introduced 16 colors in 1963 having
a retail price of 59¢ cents per jar. Dedication to detail and quality reflected in sales.
Within two years Color Putty outgrew its first building, moving to a larger building on
April 11, 1965. The move proved to be a good one -- not only because it provided
much-needed additional space, but also because a mere 4 days after the move, the
infamous "Palm Sunday Tornado" struck Monroe, totally destroying the old vacated
building.

As the poularity of Color Putty increased, so did the cost of shipping glass jars. This
lead to the packaging of putty into plastic jars in 1970. Requests for a larger jar size
prompted the introduction of a one-pound jar in addition to the 3.68 oz. jar.

In May of 1989, Color Putty's founder, Paul Kubly, passed away.

With the increasing environmental concerns of today's world, Color Putty began the
development of a water-based putty similar to its current oil-based line. In January of
1996, the waterborne putty provided a compatible product to the many water-based
sealers emerging in the market. In September 1997, the "Custom Blending Kit" was
introduced in both oil-based and water-based putty. Intended for the contractor and
professional craftsman, as well as the "do-it-yourselfer", Color Putty's innovative
packaging concept includes 16 jars, a color card, and conversion chart matching the
most popular stains on today's market, all in a convenient carrying case.

Today, Color Putty Company, Inc. is still family owned and operated. Color Putty
provides both the professional sector and "do-it-yourself" customers with the same
values and high quality standards today as it did in 1963.
