AT 13 Y...EARS OF AGE HE WAS WORKING IN AN APOTHECARY SHOP UNDER E. A. STANIELS. IN 1863 HE TOOK OVER THE BUSINESS AFTER STANIELS DEATH, ALONG WITH HIS FRIEND FREEMAN BALLARD SHEDD. HOYT APPLIED THE NAME "GERMAN" TO THE COLOGNE IN 1870 TO GIVE IT A DEFINITE TITLE, NOT TO SAY THAT IT WAS MADE IN GERMANY. IT WAS HOYT'S OWN BRAND. IT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN $1 BOTTLES. LATER HOYT SOLD THE SHOP AS HE WANTED TO CONCENTRATE ON PRODUCING AND SELLING THE COLOGNE, AS IT WAS EXTREMELY POPULAR. HE HAD MEN GOING AROUND GETTING ORDERS IN A HORSE AND CART, AS HE DID HIMSELF IN THE EARLY DAYS. FREEMAN BALLARD SHEDD IS INEXTRICABLY LINKED TO HOYT AND WAS HIS RIGHT HAND MAN WHO BECAME HOYT'S PARTNER AROUND 1870, AND SHEDD DESIGNED THE BOTTLES, THE LATEST BEING A 25 CENT SAMPLE BOTTLE TO GO WITH THE $1 BOTTLE IN 1876. THEY WERE EXTREMELY POPULAR, AND LATER A 50 CENT BOTTLE WAS DESIGNED. AT THIS TIME THEY PUT OUT TRADE CARDS WHICH HAD BEEN SOAKED ON COLOGNE, SO WERE A LITTLE DISCOLOURED. THERE ARE NUMEROUS BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES OF THESE CARDS. HOYT WAS SICK FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND SOUGHT TREATMENT IN VARIOUS PLACES SO SHEDD BECAME THE ONE REALLY IN CHARGE OF THE PRODUCTION. IN 1887 THEY PRODUCED RUBIFOAM, A BRIGHT RED LIQUID FOR TEETH CLEANING. THAT YEAR HOYT DIED SO SHEDD TOOK OVER THE BUSINESS.
