Wildroot
According to Odell, a Hair Tonic was introduced by a company with the same name in Buffalo, New York in 1911. The Trade Mark "Wildroot" was registered in 1932, by the Wildroot Co., and they claimed to have been selling the brand since 1911. Wildroot Dandruff Remedy and Shampoo were both advertised in the 1922 Montgomery Ward's Catalog. Odell said that the company was bought out by Colgate-Palmolive Co. in 1959.
