CAMPANA CORPORATION LIMITED is a federal corporation entity registered with Corporations Canada. The incorporation date is January 14, 1927. Its first product was Italian Balm, a hand lotion. The formula was purchased from a Dr. Campana, from where the company derives its name. It also produced facial and pore cleaners.

Some time prior to the year 1885 a druggist in Toronto, Canada, began to manufacture and sell a hand lotion which he called Campana's Italian Balm. Some sales were made in the United States. The lotion continued to be sold under that name by him and his successors in a comparatively small way until 1926, when the plaintiff acquired the formula and all rights to the trade-mark, trade-name, or goodwill, and began to manufacture the product at Batavia, Ill.
