I used to work there. CM Paula company. Which stood for Charles McCullough and his niece was named Paula. They were both a couple of great people and good to work for. The material for the statues came in a tanker truck and we pumped the material into 55 gallon drums. Then you would pour that material into rubber molds and after they solidified they would break the figurine out of the mold by hand. Then the ladies would spray the figurine with a brown paint that was quickly wiped off with red shop Rags by other ladies leaving the brown paint in the crevices.

That was basically the process then it was just boxed up for shipping. As far as I know we were the only one in the world that made those and there was only one cm Paula plant where I did work and that was located in Sharonville Ohio near Cincinnati. The CM Paula Company still exists but it is now a holding company and does not do any figurines stationary or knick-knacks anymore and it is located in Mason Ohio. Hope that helps.
