researcher and historian and would like to know if some one
might have some old round Hinkle’s Easter dye bottles to
complete a display of Egg Dyeing Apparatus. The dyes came
six in a carton. He writes that the dyes were patented Aug. 24,

ably assigned his invention to the Hinkle Drug Store in Colum
bia. Hinkle’s continue to sell egg dyes in square bottles, but

information on toe inventor Young or the first Hinkle’s Drug
Store.
