​Snapdragon Historical Musings

​The story of Lederle Laboratories is a cornerstone of American medical innovation. Founded in 1906 by Dr. Ernst Lederle (a former NYC Health Commissioner), the company established its massive Pearl River campus in 1907. Originally famous for producing diphtheria antitoxin, Lederle became a powerhouse under the American Cyanamid umbrella, eventually developing the world-famous Centrum multivitamin in 1978. This Ferro-Sequels bottle dates back to the era when the Pearl River site was one of the largest and most advanced biological research facilities in the world, long before the brand was absorbed into Wyeth and eventually Pfizer.
