content: Betty Dixon Quick Rinsing Shampoo was made by the Florian Company of Des Moines, Iowa, a division of the Armand Company. Launched in 1929, the Florian line of men’s cosmetic products appears to have been short-lived. The identity of "Betty Dixon" has not been determined. The design of both the label and the bottle indicate a date in the 1930s.
label: Description
content: This object is one of over 700 items from Glaser’s Drug Store of Sayre, Pennsylvania. In 1921, Simon Glaser (1860-1936), an immigrant from Russian Poland, established the drug store at 121 West Packer Avenue in Sayre, PA. His son, Sidney Glaser (1899-1992), soon joined him in the business and continued to operate the store until 1961. After retiring, Sidney Glaser retained thousands of products dating from the 1920s – 1960s, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care products, and vitamins, and donated many of them to the Smithsonian in 1985.
