EARLY HISTORY The Two McCann Sisters had established a beauty salon where various treatments were offered and toilet preparations sold.In setting up their business the two sisters concocted new identities. Rather than being known as the McCann Sisters they chose the name last name of Elmo Margaret and Mary became The Elmo Sisters. from the sisters’ early years in business andthey had realized that the profits lay in selling toilet preparations rather than in giving beauty treatments and the description of the business in that year supports this idea. It was a business that dealt in and sold toilet articles.iMargaret and Mary spent a lot of their time demonstrating their products in drug stores and other retail outlets the business was formally incorporated in 1913, as The Elmo Sisters Inc. Margaret became the President and Mary the Vice-President and Treasurer..the business was formally incorporated in 1913, as The Elmo Sisters Inc. Margaret became the President and Mary the Vice-President and Treasurer..LATER HISTORY PHOTO FINISH APPEARSThe company had trademarked back in 1937. 1942 Elmo’s launch of ‘Photo Finish’ was notable for the fact that it was packaged in a plastic case because brass was prohibited for use for anything other than bullets, shells and other essential bits and pieces of military hardware1942 a new round of products and notably ‘Photo Finish’ that was introduced in early 1942By 1948 Photo FinishProducts Were Packaged in Brass !.With sales starting to flow the business was formally incorporated in 1913, as The Elmo Sisters Inc. Margaret became the President and Mary the Vice-President and TreasurerNotable In March 1940 an American market research report about the best selling cosmetics found that the brand known as Elmo was consistently in the top ten. In particular, its dry rouges, lipsticks and face powders were outselling such well-known brands as Helena Rubinstein, Bourjois and even Elizabeth Arden. But, unlike those three beaten brands, which are top sellers today, the name Elmo has completely disappeared.the new arrangements produced a new round of products and notably ‘Photo Finish’ that was introduced in early 1942. Elmo’s launch of ‘Photo Finish’ was notable for the fact that it was packaged in a plastic case because brass was prohibited for use for anything other than bullets, shells and other essential bits and pieces of military hardware.With the War Over By 1948 Photo Finish Products were packaged in BrassThe 1950s would see the end of the Elmo brand and the end of the company because the McCanns were getting old and began to die.Elmo factory was sold to a remarkable company known as Apex. Sarah Spencer Washington had founded this company, which was known, more correctly, as The Apex Hair and News Company, in 1913. She was a black entrepreneur to rival that other well-known lady, Madam C J Walker; who was, perhaps, the first really successful black businesswoman in America. 💋 LIPSTICKS 💋 Estée Lauder… Luziers…REVLON…Don Juan… CUTEX … L’Oréal of Paris…MAX FACTOR… BONNE BELL… JONTEEL… PRINCESS PAT … Martha Matilda Harper Method… CLAIROL…COISMAR …Lamus King…Naylon… TANGEE… ELIZABETH ARDEN….
