Wildroot Mfg. Corp.

1740 Bailey Ave. Buffalo

The Wildroot Company made men's hair grooming oils and cremes. The most famous was Wildroot Creme Oil, which was advertised as "Grooming The Hair," "Relieves Dryness," and "Removes Loose Dandruff." I recall their cartoon character, "Creme Oil Charley," who was used in their advertising. A Google search reveals that there is still a Wildroot Creme Oil marketed, but I don't know by who or where they're out of.
