Burnett's Flavoring Extract

Cocaine for the Hair 1897.jpg

Description

1858-?
In 1858, Joseph Burnett partnered with William G. Edmonds to establish Joseph Burnett & Co. Their products were sold worldwide, including their extracts, perfumes, and cocaine for the hair (an 1897 advertisement for this remarkable product is below); their most popular product was undoubtedly their vanilla extract. The company built its reputation on the quality and purity of their products. The company was sold in 1946 to American Home Foods, Inc., but it is unclear when Burnett’s was pulled entirely.
