How we got so fancy ... mostly.
It all started back in 1910 when Nelson T. Fancy III, pictured to the left, was concluding his eighteenth year as president of Fancy Tinctures and Home Remedies. Mr. Fancy had an epiphany; people want more than just nice-smelling tinctures and pleasant remedies, they wanted products that actually worked. "Imagine it," he said to his eldest son, Stanley, "creating salves that truly heal, unguents that provide relief, and smelling salts that could wake the dead."
Traveling far and wide, from the icy climes of Nepal to the sultry valleys of the Amazon, Nelson Fancy was a man on a mission to discover the true secrets of his trade. Narrowly escaping zombie attacks in Africa by using his new smelling salts mixture, Mr. Fancy returned to the states to revolutionized the tinctures and home remedies industry.
Energized and vowing to provide more than just snake oil, Mr. Fancy instilled in his children and grandchildren a sense of duty and ethics that carried on to modern times.
Of course it's true!Mostly Fancy is an homage to that brave man who dared to think that he could do more for his customers. We won't sell you something you don't need or that won't work, we'll always tell you the truth, and we'll brave inclement weather (and even zombies) to make your project turn out just the way you want it.
