Dr. Smith's Rosebud Perfume company started across the street from what is now known as the Rosebud Building in Woodsboro, Maryland, many years ago. Friends and customers suggested that he prepare for them a family salve that could be used for various minor skin irritations. With this as a challenge, Dr. Smith formulated a product known as Smith's "Balsam of Rosebuds" which was later renamed Smith's "Rosebud Salve." Realizing its local popularity, Dr. Smith decided to advertise his product in country tabloids, and within a few years he had organized one of the most unique mail order businesses in the United States. Thus this amazing product range came into being.
