The company was founded in St. Louis by H.R.
Henderson and in 1900 the business moved into a factory
that previously housed the Mullanphy Emigrant Home.
During the early part of the century the Absorene
business grew by adding new cleaning products and
expanding sales across the country. By the mid 1940s
Absorene was the largest manufacturer of wallpaper
cleaner in the U.S.
In 1954 the company was purchased by Harry

children's modeling dough made and packaged for many
national accounts under private label."
