| Barker's Hirsutus | |||||||||||
| This was the product of William Jay Barker. He originally sold it under the name Barker's Chevoux Tonique, starting in 1847. I found the brand name Hirsutus advertised as early as 1869 and as late as 1930. The word "Hirsutus" and a "W.J.B." monogram (view) were registered as trademarks by Mary S. Barker in 1881. She said that the trademarks had been used by her husband from 1847 until his death in 1879. Pictures: 1888 Ad Showing Larger Bottle Ad from Marshall Field & Co. Catalog I didn't realize until doing this article that the labels are exactly the same on the pint size as they are on the 7 ounce rectangular one. (View front label) (View side label>
