Syn-O-Scope
notes: label: Description
content: An inscription on this device reads "SYN-O-SCOPE LABORATORIES." Donald E. Harding of Chicago obtained a copyright on Syn-O-Scope in 1937, a term he had been using since 1933. An ad for “Synex medication in the wonderful Syn-O-Scope” appeared in the <i>Chicago Tribune</i> (Nov. 21, 1935). William G. Snell, president of the Syn-O-Scope Laboratories, was convicted of providing misleading information in the accompanying brochure, in 1937. The firm was convicted again of misbranding in 1940.
