Object Details
- Dollard and Company
- Description
- Dollard’s Herbanium Extract was produced by Dollard and Company of Philadelphia, Pa. The product label claims that the company had been in business since 1838. Early advertisements for the Herbanium Extract date back to at least the mid 1840s. R. Dollard appears to have been a Philadelphia wigmaker.
- This bottle probably dates to the 1920s. Dollard and Company are referred to on the box as "Specialists in Hair and Complexion," reflecting a change from earlier packaging which bore the tagline, "Hairdressers and Wigmakers."
