Henry K. Wampole and his business partners established a production plant in Perth, Ontario in 1893, where they began producing Cod Liver Oil.[1] The plant soon began to produce other pharmaceuticals, such as Grape Salts, Cetyloid, Magnolax, and Hygeol Antiseptic.[2] The original plant was located in the south-east end of town, near the railyard, but relocated to a new building in 1960, in the north end of town, on Highway 7. This building was demolished in 2014.[3]
