1919 – T. F. Lilly founds The Lilly Brokerage Firm in Memphis TN

December 13, 2018 by Jeff Fowler

Thomas F. Lilly founds The Lilly Brokerage Firm, which later becomes The Lilly Company in Memphis TN. The primary focus was taking large bulk quantities (55 gal. drum and larger) of products, such as petroleum jelly and linseed oil, and breaking them down and repackaging them into smaller, more consumer sized packages. As a result, the painting industry was a major focus.
