“Jackrabbit” Ski Wax for dry snow.

Herman “Jackrabbit” Smith Johannsen’s son Bob was a chemist as well as a skier. In the 1930s, he invented Jack Rabbit Ski Lacquer and set up a factory on the back veranda to manufacture it, recruiting the family and any unsuspecting visitors to help. Jackrabbit himself was the official salesman. This specific product reads “Cross-Country Ski Wax Manufactured & distributed by Peggy Austin Enterprises, Montreal, Quebec”.
