"The great pig mural of the Farmer John brand, Clougherty Meat Packing Company are a totally impressionistic view of 'Hog Heaven,' as seen through the eyes of the late Les Grimes. an Austrian immigrant and former movie sign painter, Grimes worked on the mural 11 years until 1968 when he fell to his death from a scaffold while completing an area of sky in that 'Great Farmland Vista.' Following Grimes death, Barney Clougherty hired Arno Jordon [sic], also an Austrian immigrant, to freshen and continue the never finished murals." -- Environmental Communications, Street paintings of Los Angeles, unpaged, #27-31 http://www.laokay.com/farmerjohn.htm.contributor Calisphere
