- W.T. Rawleigh has provided customers with quality natural products for
home, hearth and health applications since 1889, when then 17 year old
William T. Rawleigh founded the company in his mother's kitchen with $15, a
mortgaged buggy and a horse he borrowed from a neighbor.
(news continued below)
The original product line that W.T. Rawleigh sold door to door consisted
of four medicines: Rawleigh Antiseptic Salve, Rawleigh Internal Liniment,
Rawleigh Medicated Ointment, and Rawleigh External AP Oil, all of which are
still being manufactured today because of their proven history of
effectiveness, quality and value. For example, during World War II,
Australian soldiers carried Rawleigh Antiseptic Salve in their first aid
kits to treat wounds and ward off infections.
In 1898 W.T. Rawleigh moved from his mother's kitchen to a new factory in
a residential section of Freeport, Illinois. Here the company added spices
and seasonings to their line of products and began the practice of quality
control tests and standards for strength and uniformity, a practice which
continues today.
By 1920, W.T. Rawleigh Company was the largest manufacturing organization
in the world, with seven factories and over one hundred tons of raw material
in storage, making W.T. Rawleigh the Bill Gates of his day. In the mid
1920's, William T. Rawleigh entered the flavorings and extracts market when
he purchased vanilla plantations in Madagascar, the source of the finest
vanilla beans in the world.
At the time vanilla prices were highly inflated due to an artificially
created shortage from a monopoly of a few closely connected dealers. W.T.
Rawleigh successfully fought them by publicizing their unethical practices
reduced the price of vanilla from $9.50 a pound to $2.50 a pound, thus
backing his claims of commitment to quality and value.
This commitment still lives on in the W.T. Rawleigh Company, as does the
practice of direct sales, although there's no longer a "Rawleigh man" who
comes door to door in a horse and buggy. Rawleigh flavorings, spices and
seasonings, home remedies and cleaning products are now sold over the
Internet and telephone by direct sales representatives worldwide, ensuring
that you still have one friendly person to deal with for all your household
needs.
W.T. Rawleigh's first advertisement in 1892 stated, "Everything
positively guaranteed to give satisfaction or no Sale." This money-back
guarantee also continues today. As rawleigh-products.com states: "Our
products carry a 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee." W.T. Rawleigh and
Company is able to do this because their products have been successfully
satisfying customers with their quality and value for over 120 years.
