Mark Thanks - I just wish I could find a bottle / label / serving glass. I have been looking all day and can't find any. The only other thing I found was this tin sign, but it didn't have a description with it ...

No bottle yet but I did find this bottle opener ...

Rich Thanks - Even though Hessig-Ellis Drug Company was the main influence behind the brand, I discovered it was actually ... The Puro Manufacturing Company ... that produced Fan Taz syrup, and I believe bottled it as well. I'm researching Puro now to see what I can find. In the meantime, here are a few Hessig-Ellis items. Based on the size of their headquarters building, the company was larger than I originally thought.
