Quality, value and products that deliver results through innovation, ingenuity, teamwork and dedication. Scott’s Liquid Gold is an American Story…
At the turn of the 20th Century...
Scott’s Liquid Gold was developed by a man named Lee Scott in Denver, Colorado. Like many products of the time, Scott's was sold door-to-door. Rose Hartman was a Scott’s Liquid Gold sales representative who frequently sold Liquid Gold to local widow and mother, Ida Goldstein. As business changed during the first half of the 20th century, the formula became available for sale, and Rose Hartman approached Ida Goldstein to see if she had any interest in purchasing it.
In 1951, Ida Goldstein bought Scott’s Liquid Gold for $175 as a business opportunity for her three young adult sons.
The young men began mixing and bottling the amber oil by hand in the family garage in Denver.
Jerry, the oldest son, took on the leadership role, guiding the growth and future development of the company for the next 42 years, taking it from its humble beginnings in a garage to a well-known, highly respected brand. Jerry remained active as Chairman of the Board until his death in 2000.
