Now this is a beautiful post to the FORUM. Everyone can feel elation over this successful find. It still has a few hours to find a more wealthy buyer. Too bad - it just can't be me. Glass to really appreciate.

Great looking bottle, A little history behind the name on the bottle,

Mr Perot was born in Philadelphia May 8 1828 being the son of Francis and Elizabeth Morris Perot His father's family settled in New Rochelle N Y having come to this country from France in 1687 The Morris family came from England in 1682 and settled near Philadelphia. In 1844 Mr Perot entered the wholesale drug house of Jenks & Ogden Third street below Race as an apprentice. After serving there for two years he went with Charles Ellis & Co where he remained for some time after his graduation as foreman of their chemical and pharmaceutical laboratory. Charles Ellis & Co were then located on Chestnut street above Second in the property formerly occupied by Christopher Marshall Mr Perot's great great grandfather who was a leading druggist in Philadelphia In the middle of the eighteenth century.

Mr Perot graduated from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in the class of 1849. In 1851 he started for himself in the wholesale drug business on Fourth street above Market. Two years later he took his brother in law Edward H Ogden into partnership with him under the firm name of T Morris Perot & Co. At about that time they moved to 621 Market street continuing in the business throughout the period of the Civil War and until 1870. Mr Perot invented a combined ambulance and drug store which was used throughout the Union army during the war and by the Government for a number of years afterward. An army medicine chest as well as several other of his inventions were also extensively used in the army at that time.

After retiring from the drug business he and his brother in law entered into partnership with his father in the malting business established in 1687. The firm have since been incorporated under the name of the Francis Perot's Sons Malting Company Mr Perot being their president. This Is the oldest business house of any kind in the United States having been carried on in the same family from Anthony Morris . Mr Perot was related by 7 generations to the Famous Anthony Morris one of General Washington's elite guard. In direct line of descent Morris Perot for many years the senior member of the firm of T Morris Perot & Co of 021 Market street Philadelphia died at his home 1810 Pine street on Saturday November 15 at the age of 74.
