I need some "stock tonic," and I was hoping you could hook me up at factory direct prices.

Looks like some good stuff, Billy. I think they're missing a disclaimer, though. Unfortunately, it's a different Dr.Hess. Just a tad bit before my time.

Does that mean you won't take my coupon:

I saw an antique sign for the stuff on the wall at the BBQ place where I ate lunch today. That inspired me go search, which is how I found the link above.

Yeah, that's pretty funny. I dunno about a coupon, but I'd consider a metal sign for the shop.

There are a few people with Hess as a last name. There are even a few Dr. Hess' around. I got an email from someone related to one or that knew one last week, wondering if I was him.

That first link Billy posted was an interesting archive. I actually found my grandfather's brother's obituary through the search page. At least I think that's him, based on the general geographic region, name and "Dr." part.

I've got a box in my garage for some Hess liquor of some kind or another.

I saw some Hess wine at Sam's. I almost bought a bottle.

Here in Central NY, we have Hess gas stations. In todays economy, that's better than being a Dr.!
