Skol Company

The Skol Company produced Skol antiseptic for sunburn and Skol sunglasses from the 1920s through the mid-1940s. Based in New York City, their products were available in the United States and Canada. George Gallowhur was president of the business. He developed Skol suntan lotion in the Austrian Alps in the 1920s. He also introduced Skat insect repellent.

In April 1938, the firm signed a five-year contract with the J. Walter Thompson Company for car-card advertising. The following month the Skol Company launched a nationwide campaign to promote Skol sunglasses, utilizing newspapers throughout the United States.
