The Pinex Company was started by William H. Noll of Ft. Wayne, Indiana in 1905 which by 1910 was manufacturing the cough remedy called "Pinex" that could be purchased nearly at any drugstore in the United States. February 3, 1960 - Revlon, Inc. is expanding its operations in the proprietary drug field and purchased Pinex Company, Inc., of Ft. Wayne, IN., and Pinex Company, Canada with headquarters in Toronto. The transaction was made for an amount of cash.
William H. Noll, a prominent businessman, was born in Ft. Wayne, IN and received a degree in pharmaceutical chemistry from the University of Michigan. He married Laura Green in 1906. For two years, he was employed in a drug store operated by his father, Bernedict Noll, before starting the Pinex Company in 1905. Also, several years before World War I, William operated the first liquid nail polish industry in the United States, but sold his interests after the war. William died at the age of 66 in 1941.

Where can you Buy Pinex Cough syrup?
The last time I purchased "Pinex" was in the early 1990's at a "Big V" drugstore in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. This was a concentrate that I mixed at home with a sugar solution. The bottle had "Manufactured under license by Adrem Limited, Toronto, Ont."
What were the ingredients in Pinex cough syrup?
Its unfortunate that Pinex is no longer available. My grandmother used to make it for me when I was little and it was very soothing. The Pinex product was 2.5 ounces of concentrate which you then mixed with sugar and water to create a syrup. Although I don't know the ingredients in the concentrate, I do know that you can make your own pine needle tea and drink for relief of respiratory aliments. It is full of vitamin C and will send you on the road to recovery! Any type of pine tree will do. Collect young green pine needles. The young pine needles are the ones farthest out on the branches. Pull needles off the branch and line them up with the root ends together. Cut this root end off. Cut the needles into small segments and place in the bottom of a glass jar. Fill the jar about 1/3 of the way with cut pine needles. Pour boiling water over the needles, put the lid on the jar and let steep for 15 minutes. Using a spoon, press the needles against the side of the glass to express the essential oils. Pour the tea out of the jar into a cup, leaving the pine needles in the bottom of the jar. Sweeten with honey, sugar or agave nectar to taste.
