Warners

H.H.Warner marketed around about 20 cures in his lifetime.He established works in Rochester U.S.A,closely followed by factories in Toronto,Canada,London England,Melbourne Australia,Frankfurt Germany,Pressburg Hungary as well as New Zealand and Switzerland.The hardest to find are probably the Pressburg and Frankfurt bottles.Thats if you don't count the variants such as the London 3 Cities,Aqua Pressburg and the like.Most of the regular bottles seem to be found in varying shades of Brown Amber or Green.Click in the picture for pics and a brief discription.

It seems that most people are unaware of where in London Warners offices were,well with the help of Jack Stetcher I have located 3 addresses.In 1887 they were at 47 Farringdon St.By 1900 they had moved to 86 Clerkenwell Road,and in 1933 they were at 18-20 Laystall St.The 1887 address is substanciated by an advert in Jacks possesion.1900 by an ad of mine and the 1933 by a personal letter in Jacks collection.The 1900 ad of mine is pictured left.Also thanks must go to Trevor for his help.

Another earlier advertisement where eminent people of the time are bestowing the virtues of the various Warners cures. It is well known that Warner was well aware of the selling power behind advertiseing and commisioned trade cards almanacs ect to help promote his products.
