BEFORE THE COMING OF THE ANTI-MEDICAL CANNABIS LAWS
W.T. Rawleigh’s Co. - Freeport, IL.
[Now a part of Golden Pride] [Antique Bottle Pictures]
Back in its day, Rawleigh was probably the best known manufacturer of Medicines. This was due to the way it succeeded in marketing it's products, which was via door to door salesman. So successful was it at this form of marketing that one could think of it as the AVON of its day.
The author even had a chance to look at its old factory facilities in Freeport IL., and was very impressed. Even though they had been boarded up for years (broken windows, graffiti, trash all over the place), still the large brick buildings were impressive. Almost like time travel, etc., a true piece of Americana.*
* But please should you find yourself there, don’t tell them I sent you. It seems that a corporate raider took over the place back in the 1980’s, raided the workers pension fund, sold the company for parts and then closed down the place. Or at least that’s the story that I got from them and boy were they mad about the whole thing.
