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.
