Well, I can tell you that I was the importer of Soul-Aids into Canada back in 1982! They were marketed out of Indiana, as the ad suggests, by an inventor by the name of Doug Clark. I still have about 100 boxes kicking around and I bring them out at the occasional party. They were fantastic bandages and they were perfect for dark skin, but then J&J came along with transparent bandages. I might have only sold 3000 boxes in Canada before realizing it wasn't going to be a huge seller. There was a premium price attached to them as well!
