The Mennen Company was started in 1878, at Newark, New Jersey, moving to Morristown, New Jersey in 1953, where it manufactured and sold many over-the-counter pharmaceuticals and personal products such as the Skin Bracer, Speed Stick (launched approximately 1954), and Baby Magic products. Lady Speed Stick was a foray into the women’s market, and was a huge success due to its shape, which fit a woman’s hand, and fragrances. Mennen was founded by Gerhard Heinrich Mennen, an immigrant from Germany, with his first product being talcum based powder, which was a real innovation at the time. His grandnephew, G. Mennen Williams, would go on to serve as Governor of Michigan from 1949-1961.

By Mennen was one of the most successful marketing slogans considering its simplicity. The associated jingle, written by Doug Katsaros, was notable for containing just three notes and ending each television commercial for Mennen products.

The company was led by several generations of the Mennen family before being sold to Colgate by the family in 1992. Today none of the Mennen family are involved in the company or its now parent.

I have been trying to come up with some pictures for my bathroom that are kind of cute. I found this reproduction tin sign that will look great in it.
