Does this mean your perfume died? :-)

The only other hit was:

    The Senior Girls Basketball Team was coached by Ira Belle Harper and
    the Team Captain was Nina Plumlee. Forwards on the team were Ruth
    Dutton, Pearl Dilbeck, Nina Plumlee, and Ina Mae Gilley. Guards were
    Lou Barnes, Una Lee Hutcheson, and Blanche Newby. Centers were Jewell
    Newsom and Frances Denney. No win-loss record is available for the
    girls team.

So your perfume played basketball before it died?  :-)

OK, seriously, lets look under "Stephan Company" and see what we find:

    Very interesting situation. This little known hair products company
    seemingly is building into a major personal products organization. Men
    usually see the name "The Stephan Company" on products used in barber
    shops-but I'm finding growth well beyond this niche. Any Comments

So, it is the same company that makes the big bottles of hair tonic at
old fashioned barber shops.  I seem to remember that name...

WITHDRAWAL GRANTED
 
     An order has been issued granting the application of Stephan Company
     to withdraw from listing and registration on its Common Stock, $1.00
     Par Value on the American Stock Exchange.  (Rel. 34-37158)
 
This does not look good.  This information came from the SEC NEWS
DIGEST, Issue 96-83, May 3, 1996.  They may well have gone out of
business.

No, here it is!  Found them on the AMEX stock exchange, address and
everything.
