This jar of "Marvelous Cold Cream" was recovered from the dump at the Security Benefit Home and Hospital Association in Shawnee County. The brand was first created by Richard Hudnut (of New York and Paris), and though his company was sold in 1914 the cold cream still bore his stamp. Old advertisements guarantee the cold cream will not promote the growth of down. Security Benefit Home and Hospital Association, begun in 1916, eventually included a hospital, a cooperative farm, a school, a hotel, and provided homes for orphans and the elderly.
