- Go to MR. WATKINS (NOT SHERLOCK'S SIDEKICK)
I don't remember them coming to our house. Just the milkman delivering all those quarts of milk.

Watkins also sold salve and medicated vapo-rub. It was used on us kids and the farm animals alike when needed.

I have never heard of that before but I do remember a truck that came to other people’s homes called the Jewel Tea. I thought it was tea wrapped in a box with shiny jewels.

Good afternoon
What a nice memory. I remember the Watkins man. Back in 1989, my hubby worked at a vacuum shop. The owner's wife used to sell Watkins on the side. It is good quality spices and extracts.

Good Afternoon
I would love to have Mr. Watkins stop at my house. I love buying spices. I make my own vanilla now and it is out of this world. I put it in all my baked goods and I think it adds a special touch to them.
