Parker & Bailey products originated when Mr. Bailey, a respected furniture maker joined forces with Mr. Parker, a manufacturer of fine waxes and polishes. A small container of Parker's Perfect Polish was included with each furniture sale. Customers kept returning for more, which gave Parker the idea to join forces and package the furniture cream for everyone.

So in 1879, Parker and Bailey began producing fine wood care products such as: Kitchen Cabinet Cream, Furniture Cream, and Lemon Oil Polish.
