\"Schorndorfer
\n\u00a9 Frank H. Jump<\/p>\n

A couple of days ago, a colleague forwarded this hilarious blog posting at Photo Basement: 41 Hilarious Science Fair Experiments<\/a>.<\/b><\/i> We had put our dog ThelmaLu<\/b><\/a> down and it was the first time I had laughed (or stopped crying) since. Since I do teach elementary science, I am a bit biased about my students’ science fair projects. The above images are from the Flatlands Amersfort School Science Fair 2007<\/i><\/b> and are not part of the 41 spoof<\/i><\/a>. But I must say, for elementary school aged kids, they really rank amongst the Middle & High School calibre projects I’ve seen. And do they know their audience when they use vintage images of products or don’t they know their audience?<\/p>\n

Henry L. Schorndorfer of Cleveland OH was a chemist and went into business with founder of Zipp Manufacturing Company<\/i><\/b> – John Zipp in 1885 – the makers of Root Beer. Click here for a detailed PDF<\/a> of the Zipp company. Schorndorfer later opened the Schorndorfer & Eberhard Co<\/b><\/i>. Schorndorfer’s company was also known for making food extracts and in this image above, ammonia and cleaning products. Below are two Google Books archives citing the Schorndorfer & Eberhard Co<\/i>:<\/p>\n

According to the Annual Statistical Report of the Secretary General of Ohio – 1921<\/u>, the Schorndorfer company name was officially changed to the Stern Bros. Co.<\/p>\n
