Cool new local, what could be better? - 7/17/2010 10:33:06 PM    donalddarneille   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/23/2008 From: Portland Status: offline Got a chance to get out and dig this weekend, not only did Dad and I dig our first Woodburn Oregon drug..... we actually got two in the same hole! The bottles starting popping out less than a foot into the privy, mostly all slicks and some applied top english ales and a few gloppy olive oils. Not much worth writing about until we hit the bottom, Dad pulled out the first Moore's, and then in the far back corner I unearthed another alomg with a Gillette's Double Extract. And this morning I hit a garage sale in Hubbard, Or, where I found three insulators for a buck each! Attachment (1) _____________________________ Just another day in Pffffft.....

It's a product of the E.W. Gillett Co. of Chicago. From. They fell afoul of the Pure Food Police in 1910. "Gillett's Double Extract of Vanilla and Lemon: (E.W. Gillett Co., Chicago) Misbranded because of the word "Double" in each article, which ****ysis does not show that it contains a double amount of flavoring ingredients to that required by the standard." From. Baking products seem to have been their bread & butter. From. From. There's a brief bio of Charles Warren Gillett over here. This is from 1911. I'm guessing he was a child of ole E.W.

I wish I knew more, they had a box of 50 or so that had been recovered in the 1970's, lots of different names and styles all a buck each....... the more I think about it the more I want to go and make him an offer for the whole lot.... _____________________________ Just another day in Pffffft.....

RE: Cool new local, what could be better? - 7/19/2010 7:45:32 PM    donalddarneille   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/23/2008 From: Portland Status: offline One more to add I almost forgot about! While traveling around Oregon a couple weeks ago I stopped in to see an old freind in Roseburg. In a box of old things that belonged to her great grandfather there were a few bottles clunking around, so of course I had to check them out! Mostly a few ACL sodas and bottom embossed city Cokes. Under the soda bottles laying flat was the backside of a drugstore bottle, to my delight when I flipped it over it was embossed: DRUGGIST/MARSTERS/ROSEBURG, OR.! We spent the evening doing historical research on the name Marster, collected a ton of information about his life and business ventures, and the next day we were able to drive by the sites at which his house and business had been located! I am hoping to return this fall and see if I can get permission from the current property owners to poke around with my probe. Here is a picture of the bottle, my freind had insisted that I take it home and put it in my Oregon drug collection, I was more than happy to do so!
