Frank B. Clock was an Apothecary in Manchester New Hampshire. He was listed there from 1864 through 1866 at 116 Elm. He was probably in business longer, but the Manchester Directories were Bi-annual and I didn't have access to any from the 1861 through 1863 period. In some 1866 ads the product was called Dr. Clocks Excelsior Hair Restorer. "Clock's Hair Restorer" was still for sale in the 1875 John F. Henry, Curran & Co. catalog. The ad shown to the right was transcribed from an 1865 Harper's Weekly.
