Well done!

"GEORGE DOUGLAS BARNETT, founder and proprietor of George D. Barnett & Co., manufacturers of flavoring extracts, perfumes and toilet articles, of Brockton, Mass., is one of the city's enterprising and representative business men. He was born in Danvers, Mass., Feb. 15, 1859, son of James and Ann Eliza (Wood) Barnett....

In 1879 Dr. Barnett came to Brockton and entered into partnership with Dr. E. S. Powers, establishing himself in the practice of his chosen profession. This partnership continued for a period of about ten jears, at the termination of which time Dr. Barnett purchased his partner's interest in the 'business and continued practice on his own account for several months, when on account of ill health be was compelled to abandon his profession. After spending some time in quest of renewed strength and vigor he in 1896 established himself in the business of manufacturing flavoring extracts, perfumes and toilet articles of all kinds, under the firm name of George D. Barnett & Co., and he has since continued in the same with marked success, having not only acquired a large local trade but as well an extensive mail order patronage, extending to various parts of the country." From Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1912.

Ya I saw he was involved with Barnett who ended up making it big in the extract business. Not to be confused with Burnetts extracts...
