Parisian Sage Hair Tonic
The Giroux Manufacturing Co. registered a picture trademark (see below) for "Hair Dressings & Tonics" in 1910. As you can see, it was used on the labels. At that time, Allen N. Drake was the President of the company. He indicated that they had been selling the same since 1907. According to Fike, the business was listed in 1917 as a "Manufacturer of Hair Tonic." Fike also said that they were listed as late as 1941, as "Manufacturers of Toilet Preparations."
