Hello, I'm GhostRiver. I'll be reviewing this article against the good article criteria. By doing so, I am earning points for the WikiCup and the January 2025 GAN Backlog Drive. Although a quid pro quo review is not necessary, it is appreciated. You can see what open good article nominations I have here.

I will go through the article section by section checking it against the criteria. Once I have finished my review, I will place the article on hold, giving you seven days to respond. If you need more time, just reach out!

Post-completion

1950s to 1960s

• SC Johnson erected a large plastic globe outside the headquarters in 1954. Why? (Synthesize from source)
• The theater was rededicated in July 1967 and initially screened the film To Be Alive! and hosted SC Johnson meetings. Awkward semi-run on. Specify that the film screening was for the dedication and separate out the meetings.
• The Research Tower's floors were originally painted red, but each pair of floors was repainted over the years to prevent confusion. Assume this means each floor was painted a different color? Please specify.
