A brief general history of the UK paint industry: Part 2. After the Start

Abstract

Deed of Partnership 1766 ........ do covenant and agree with each other to be in partnership for the full term of 7 years to commence from this date hereof—to do our utmost to make a certain blue colour for paints a secret only known to Mr. Fredk. Rapp and Mr. Louis Steigenberger, in consideration of which Mr. John Stalder is to allow a room wherever we all dwell, and work for their colours, to keep the colours and other materials in. And the said Mr. John Stalder must not want to come into said room, nor at any time obstruct his two partners, nor give abusive language by reason of his not being made acquainted with the secret of making said blue for paint and not be allowed to know the cost of the stuff.
