Historical or Biographical Note
The American Paint Company first appeared in the San Francisco City Directory sometime between 1903 and 1907. (The San Francisco
Maritime National Historical Park Research Center does not have directories for 1904 through 1906, so the first entry found
was in the 1907 directory.) James M. Botts was listed as president of the company in 1907. In 1911, the company is listed
in the classified section under the city directory heading "Paints, Oils and Glass (Importers)" but not under the heading
"Paint Manufacturers." By 1913, it is listed under both headings. No other paint company listed under these headings specifies
marine paint.
