After a very quick searched I found that Huberd&#8217;s Shoe Grease is still available and the cans are only slightly different to this one, which probably dates to the 1960s. The new cans say &#x201c;Original&#x201d; at the top and have the URL for their web site (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huberds.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.huberds.com<\/a>). Also, new cans come in 1 pound (454 gram) and 7.5 ounce (213 gram) sizes, compared to this old one, which only has 7 ounces. From their web site:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A. E. Huberd founded his shoe grease company in McMinnville Oregon in 1921.  In his workshop, A. E. concocted a beeswax and pine-tar formula that he introduced to logging camps and sold to lumberjacks.  The lumbermen throughout the region helped Mr. Huberd improve his formula, build his customer base, and establish a thriving manufacturing company.  Huberd&#8217;s products are made much the same way today.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In general, old stuff like this isn&#8217;t really worth keeping.
