Since the bottle forum is a little slow right now I thought I would share an interesting find I got a few months ago... ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1434764016.303613.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1434764033.050894.jpg This is a G. Mennen Pharmacist bottle from Newark, NJ. I found this in upstate NY. From doing a little research I found out G. Mennen was a pharmacist in the 1800s. He developed an effective corn (foot) powder and grew a nice business! His company went on to make lots of bathroom products still in use today such as Speed Stick deodorant! Most noteworthy was the 3 syllable company jingle, "By Mennen!"

Is that right? It was a while back that I did this research but if I remember right, G. Mennen made a fortune off his powder and his son ended up being the Governor of New Jersey for a while!
