...back to the late 40s! Check out the selection of HAIR TONICS (!!!) in the men's bathroom! Growing up in the Jerz, I was definitely familiar with the big purple guy on the right, but the other three were mysteries. Check them out!
Osage Rub? Vitalis? And what's the third bottle from the left? Stephan Bay Rum Fragrant Skin Toner? Out of curiosity, I just Googled "osage rub" and found it being sold on a site called TexasBeautySupply.com! The description lists it as an " Invigorating Splash for Head and Face
Apply Briskly for that All Over Tingly Feeling!" And the ingredients are listed as: Water (Aqua), Alcohol SD-40, Menthol, Fragrance (Parfum), Eucalyptol. So, in other words, I think I finally identified the source of "old man smell!" (Well, the good kind of old man smell, not the nursing home variety).
