Found an odd one yesterday, it’s a Garrity’s Everwave by L.M. Garrity & Co. of Boston. Seems they started making this hair curling product (an early leave-in conditioner) in 1921 as that’s when it was first advertised, in the July 6 Philadelphia Inquirer. The next advertisements I could find online were the January 1922 issues of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, with 9 ads in the one issue of Harper’s!
No advertisement could be found after, so presumably it was discontinued (this is correlated with the relative rarity of the bottle, no posts/replies about them here, and only one eBay record, currently for sale at $26.49).
The company later (1928) moved into the printed goods business, selling a kit to turn a deck of cards into a “Gypsy fortune-telling” device, then published an etiquette book, Good Manners, in 1930.
