| Anti-Dandruff Hair Tonic | |||
| This brand name was originally registered as a trademark by Lem A. Smith in 1892. He said he had used the name since 1891. Leon Pierre Federmeyer, of Chicago, Illinois, registered the same brand name as a trademark in 1893 (#23,882). He claimed to have been selling the brand since 1883. In 1894, he registered the symbols shown here as a trademark in connection with the same product. Federmeyer also mentioned that the trademark might be blown into the bottles. Federmeyer had registered a patent for his Hair Tonic formula in 1886 (Patent #338,942). He said it was intended as a "tonic for the scalp, for the removal and prevention of dandruff, and for stimulating the growth of the hair, and preventing the latter from falling out." The preparation Contained one pound of peruvian bark, 60 grains of table salt, 50 grains of tannin, 25 grains of sulphuret of potash, 16 ounces of water, a small amount of perfume, and sufficient alcohol to make it about 35%. I found Anti-Dandruff listed for sale In the 1896 Morrison & Plummer Catalog by Foster, Milburn & Co., of Buffalo, New York. It was probably for sale past 1900. |
