Kristen Sanchez. My grandmother used to buy a pink bar, a wax substance that she used on my grandfather’s fingers in the winter. She would heat the wax by fire and apply it to the fingers. By morning, his fingers were healing and the opening was sealed. Do you know if anyone has or is still making this product?
Are you still researching this product? My great grandfather was JE McBrady. I was interested to see what information you’ve found or if it will be available soon. Thank you.
Hi Kristen. I do hope to get an article written about McBrady soon. There are a lot of companies in the backlog as I research and write about them one by one. I will hopefully get some info posted within the year. –Andrew Clayman, Made In Chicago Museum
