S.B. Goff's
More under Goff's Bitters
About 1910, S.B. Goff’s Cough Syrup was being sold in a 25 cent size. Part of the advertising wrapped around the bottle included a postcard which read, "Mail this card today for a free sample of Goff’s Herb Bitters." The patron was requested to give his address and that of a friend who might benefit to whom another bottle might be sent. A warning was noted: No sample would be sent unless the name of the dealer (from which the original purchase was made) was included. Apparently there were some unscrupulous consumers like the one described in a letter sent to the Druggist Circular which complained of a customer who requested a sample. The sample was sent and a week or so later, the customer complained the sample ""never arrived" and asked for another sample.
