A LOOK AT BERTHOUD
Berthoud seventh grader founded Cream Paste Company
I
n August 1930 The Berthoud Bulletin announced that Kendall Vaughan had established a new business in Berthoud. Vaughan’s enterprise, the Cream Paste Company, manufactured a women’s beauty prodSurveyor uct that was Columnist a combination of face powder and face cream. The product was apparently the brainchild of Vaughan who was entering seventh grade at Berthoud Mark Junior High. French In 1930 Berthoud’s seventh and eighth grade classes shared a building with high school students at the northwest corner of Ninth Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Today Turner Middle School occupies that site.
In announcing the formation of Kendall Vaughan’s new firm The Berthoud Bulletin described the youthful entrepreneur as “a boy who always keeps an ear open listening for the knocking of Opportunity ... and that means a hustler is on the job all the time.” To produce cream paste Vaughan combined one ounce of alcohol, one ounce of glycerin, one ounce of bay rum, one ounce of coconut oil, one ounce of almond oil and one ounce of Dean’s Bergamont. In a second container he mixed an additional one and one-half ounces of bay rum with another one and one-half ounces of glycerin. After those ingredients were assembled Vaughan poured 21 ounces of prepared chalk into a crock dish. After he combined his first liquid mixture with the chalk, Vaughan stirred it thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Then he added the second liquid mixture and the juice of one-half lemon and stirred some more. When the concoction was mixed to his satisfaction Vaughan put the cream paste
into individual jars with a piece of oil paper tucked beneath the screw-on lids. He always applied a label to the jar that advised users to apply with a damp sponge. How Vaughan distributed his product is not known, but in 1930 Berthoud supported two drugstores that may have sold the youngster’s cream paste. One possible distribution point was the Foresman & McCarty Drugstore located a few doors north of the Berthoud National Bank at the corner of Third Street and Mountain Avenue. The other was Berthoud Drug that was located a short distance west of the bank in the 300 block of Mountain Avenue. Kendall Vaughan’s father, L.S. Vaughan, was the station agent at Berthoud’s Colorado & Southern depot for several years in the 1930s. The Vaughan family lived in the house at 921 Fifth Street in Berthoud and attended the United Brethren church at the corner of Fourth Street and Mountain Avenue. Kendall Vaughan graduated from Berthoud High School in 1936 and

During the 1930s the monkey’s escapes from the Vaughan home at 921 Fifth Street was the staple of local gossip. Whether Kendall Vaughan’s Cream Paste Company succeeded or failed is unknown since his enterprise

was never mentioned in the local newspaper again. A solitary jar label, however, is evidence that Vaughan produced and marketed his beauty product. What may be better remembered is Vaughan’s pet monkey that kept the town marshal busy and the families who lived in Vaughan’s neighborhood on their toes.
