Jan Mehmen was secretary at 'The Pill Factory' for a number of years. CaPhenin Chemical Co. was started about 1895 when Dr. Frank Osincup was forced to take on a lighter schedule for a time. Later the company branched into veterinarian medications. It operated in that field under that name until 1957 when it was sold to a Wisconsin firm and soon moved its operation there along with a few of its staff.
