Melba Perfumes:
Melba Manufacturing Company. Established by Frances W. Jones at 4237 Indiana Ave, Chicago in 1908; bought out by Vivaudou/Vadsco Sales in 1926.
Melba produced toiletries including perfume, toilet waters, powders, nail products, deodorant, rouge, lipsticks, face cream, face massage cream, skin creams, skin lotion, tissue cream, hand cream, talcum, skin cleanser and men's shaving products. By 1942, Melba was no longer in business.
Nellie Melba, the famous opera star, at the height of her fame in 1908,  happened to walk by a shop on New York's Fifth Avenue whose window was filled with bottles labeled Melba Perfume and corresponding posters of her. Suspecting the quality of the scent, she entered the store and was nearly suffocated by the villainous odor, for it was rubbish of the most sickly kind. "How dare you attach my name to such dreadful stuff, and how dare you use my name at all without asking my permission!" The druggist replied "Look here Madame, I have as much right as you to that name as you have, for your real name is Mrs. Armstrong." Nellie retired but quickly patented the name so that no one else could use it, so she sued to stop the sale of the perfume. Triumphantly, she won the lawsuit.
This Survivor Bottle Measures approx. 5" x 5" x 1.8"
