My late father was a salesman at R-M. His office was the 3rd window on the lower left side. The lab was upstairs where paint was formulated and checked. I also worked there for two summers and the place had great employees. R-M, if I recall, changed names a few times reflecting ownership. R-M to Interchem to Inmont and then finally BASF. Great memories.
Here's an interesting little tid-bit about the company.
