Abstract:
In 1910, pharmacist Thomas Melville Stanback compounded his first Stanback Headache Powder, and it was later introduced to the public in over-the-counter sales at the Rowan Drug Company in Spencer. Later, he formed a partnership with his brother Fred J. Stanback in 1924. Today, company products are distributed all over the nation. All manufacturing takes place at the company's Salisbury plant in Rowan County.

Abstract:
At one time headache powders were big business in the South. Most fell victim to changing times and the public's preference for modern tablets like Advil and Tylenol. Three major headache powders survive, and two of them are manufactured in North Carolina--Goody's Manufacturing Corp. and Stanback Co. Goody's has been a staple in Winston-Salem since 1932, and Stanback's was introduced to the public in 1910 in Spencer.
