Description

1863-1930s
By far the most famous product produced by this company was their Hunyadi Janos Mineral Spring Water, named for a 15th-century Hungarian hero; the base of a bottle of this water was found at the Charnley-Persky House in 2015 (see below). First introduced in 1863, The water was advertised extensively as a laxative (as in the 1899 image below). Hunyadi Janos was very popular in the U.S. between 1870 and 1920, and the company disappears from historical record in the 1930s.
