Dr. A. C. Daniels began his business in 1878 as he mixed his medicines and sold his concoctions from the back of a horse and wagon. Dr. Daniels first opened his operation at 75 West Brookline Street in Boston, Massachusetts and as he grew, he settled at 172-174 Milk Street and 87 Central Streets in 1904.
With time, his products became extremely popular as he manufactured and sold his potions over the counter to farmers who definitely wanted to keep some on hand in the barn. His product line included products for horses, cattle, sheep, swine, dogs and later poultry and cats were added as time went on.
Thus began the Dr. A.C. Daniels Company. ?After the turn of the century and automobiles popularity came into being, Dr. Daniels introduced the gray flannel mouse and refillable wooden cat balls as toys for the felines. A box of Summit Brand Catnip leaves and tops was then added for the cat’s pleasure. Dr. Daniels’ was the first to market catnip and catnip toys to the household cat. Each toy was 100% filled with catnip. Now, over a hundred years later, the toys are still manufactured the same way. Yes, they also had an address in Canada.
Dr. Daniels’ early veterinary medicines are highly prized by collectors of veterinary antiques.
