"Celebrating 75 years of Dr. Bronner's!
FAMILY SOAPMAKERS since 1858: 3rd Generation (of 5)

The third generation of my family's soapmakers is the one you know best: Dr. Emanuel Bronner, my grandfather, founder of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps. Though named in tribute to his grandfather Emanuel (see Family Soapmakers Day 1 post), he was called Emil.

He was the oldest child and only son of Berthold (See Family Soapmakers Day 2 post). He trained as a soapmaker apprentice to take over the family business in Heilbronn. However, soapmaking wasn't all that interested him. He developed a view of humanity that did not entirely sync with his family's Jewish worldview, and he was very vocal in speaking about it in the family's Madaform factories. His father felt his views were disruptive and gave his son the ultimatum: stop the philosophizing or leave. At the age of 21 in 1929, Emil left Germany for the United States.

For the first decade plus he worked for numerous soap manufacturers, helping them to set up operations and create new products. He was based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but traveled the country to follow the work. On his naturalization certificate in 1936, he took the name Emanuel Theodore Bronner. He dropped the "Heil" from his last name because of its connection to the common N**i greeting. Several years later, he changed Theodore to Herbert, and from then on signed his name, "E.H. Bronner." Emanuel married Paula Wohlfahrt in 1933 and had three children: Ellen, Ralph, and James (my dad).

With the 1940s came intense hardship with tragedy from far and near. He watched helplessly as his homeland turned on his family, depriving them of their business, their livelihood, and eventually their lives. Then, Paula experienced a physical and emotional collapse and after living several years in the Manteno State Hospital in Illinois, she died in 1944.

Now widowed with three young children, Emanuel threw himself into the vision that had brought him to America in the first place: that we are all brothers and sisters on one Spaceship Earth. There is more that connects us than divides us. We need to embrace our shared humanity. He wrote a series of principles that he called the Moral ABC that all faiths and philosophies could agree on: we need to take care of ourselves and each other, to do what we can to help the world around us.

He spoke passionately about this to all who would listen. With his emphatic manner of speaking and unwillingness to talk about much else, he was arrested during one particularly impassioned speech at the University of Chicago, charged with speaking without a permit, and inexplicably incarcerated in the Elgin State Asylum. During his time there, he underwent electroshock therapy which likely contributed to his blindness later in life. He escaped on his third attempt and hitchhiked to California.

Here he found a more receptive audience for his ideas. To thank his listeners, he would give them a bottle of his family's pure Castile soap, scented with a zing of peppermint essential oil. Eventually he noticed that people took the soap but didn't stay to listen to the ideas. So he printed his message on the bottle, and thus was born the iconic label that still wraps the soap bottles to this day. He started selling products in 1948, beginning with quite a number of food products and nutritional supplements.

The soap eventually took over as the primary product. When the 1960s arrived, the audience he had always looked for finally arrived. Hippies, naturalists, and all manner of free thinkers embraced the simple soap and its label of peace for people and planet.
Though he was fully blind by the 1970s, he moved the company down to Escondido, California, the land of sunshine and avocados.

His focus was always on the message on the label. The more soap that sold, the more the label got into the hands of people to read it. He put his personal phone number on the label so that anyone who wanted to discuss the ideas could reach him. It is the same number for the company today.

He led the company (which he saw more as a mission than a business) with a devoted team for many years, until Parkinsons Disease in the mid 1990s slowly and inexorably brought him to a halt. He died March 7, 1997." —Going Green with Lisa Bronner

Asheville H**p Fest: Celebrating the Benefits of H**p

We are gearing up for the much-awaited Asheville H**p Fest, a celebration of all things h**p. This event, scheduled for April 20-22, 2023, promises to be an exciting opportunity to explore the benefits of h**p and its various applications.

H**p is a versatile plant that has been used for thousands of years for its medicinal, industrial, and nutritional properties. H**p contains CBD, which is known to have numerous health benefits, and is also used in the production of textiles, paper, and building materials. With the recent legalization of h**p in many states, it's no wonder that events like Asheville H**p Fest are growing in popularity.

At the Asheville H**p Fest, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the many uses of h**p and its potential to positively impact a range of industries. From h**p-based foods and beverages to h**p-derived beauty and wellness products, this festival will showcase the many exciting possibilities that h**p has to offer.

In addition to educational opportunities, the festival will also feature live music, food vendors, and a variety of activities for attendees to enjoy. Local and national vendors will be on hand to showcase their h**p-related products, and attendees can sample some of the best h**p-derived foods and beverages on the market.

Whether you're a h**p enthusiast or simply curious about the plant's many benefits, Asheville H**p Fest is the perfect opportunity to learn, explore, and celebrate all things h**p. Don't miss this exciting event that promises to be fun, educational, and full of surprises. Get your tickets today and join us in Asheville for a one-of-a-kind festival experience!
