Parker & Bailey originated when Mr. Bailey, a furniture maker joined forces with Mr. Parker, a maker of waxes & polishes. A container of Parker's Polish was included with each furniture sale. Customers kept returning for more, which gave Parker the idea to join forces and package the furniture cream for everyone. So in 1879, Parker & Bailey began producing fine wood care products such as: Kitchen Cabinet Cream, Furniture Cream & Lemon Oil Polish.
