In 1908, Frank Furst and Frederick McNess started the Furst-McNess Company in Freeport, Illinois. They started with a unique innovation, the first ever safety seal and small trial bottles. The company was an instant success and soon the “McNess Man” was selling F.W. McNess branded products by horse and buggy and automobiles all across the United States.

This was a promotional advertising piece for the company.
