Physically, the company grew rapidly. Before 1925, Davis Paint had purchased all its paint from a Kansas City producer. In that year, it also began buying from a Cleveland firm. In 1926, the owners of the Cleveland operation sold the equipment and the business to Davis Paint. Cleveland quickly proved a success; and, in 1928, Mr. Davis decided to get into the paint manufacturing business himself in Kansas City. Within a few years the Davis Paint Brand, Ever Bright, became widely known to paint users in rural and urban areas, particularly in the Midwest and Great Plains states. The product is still today a popular trade sales interior and exterior house paint.

Davis Paint currently makes coatings to supply four basic markets: our company operated service center, dealer outlets, private label distribution and industrial sales. In large, Davis Paint acquired the Trade Sales Division of Cook Paint and Varnish. Since that time, it has continued to market the Cook Paint line under the Cook Label. Davis Paint's other products carry the names Davis Paint, Davis Industrial Coatings and Sahara Waterproof Masonry Coatings.
