Description

1852-present
E. H. Sargent was established in 1852; a bottle embossed with the company’s name was found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2010. In 1875, Sargent began marketing through a catalog, the first recorded mail order solicitation for laboratory supplies; a page from their 1910 catalog is below. In 1968, Sargent combined with Welch Scientific Company, becoming Sargent-Welch Scientific Company, which is still in business today.
