Johnston, James W., Buffalo, a native of England, was born September 24, 1866, and came to this country when
he was but two years of age, his parents settling in Buffalo. After acquiring a liberal education from the public
schools he embarked in the painting business with his father and continued with him until 1894, and since that
time he has conducted the business alone. It is scarcely necessary to enlarge upon the taste and skill that have
always distinguished Mr. Johnston, the innumerable examples of both found in the private residences, public buildings,
vessels, etc., sufficiently attest these merits, while the volume of his business proves the hold he has upon the
confidence and patronage of the property owner and building public. He employs from thirty to fifty painters and
artists dependent upon the season and does an annual business of $20,000 to $25,000.
