Mulkey’s Salt, Plain or Iodized measuring cup. Mulkey’s Salt is an old Detroit, Michigan salt company.
David Murray Cowie pioneered the salt iodation process in the U.S to combat the problem of goiter which was especially prevalent in the Great Lakes region and the Pacific Northwest. Incorporating iodine into a regular diet would not be an easy process; the salt producers of America had to be persuaded to incorporate sodium iodide into their production process.
On May 1, 1924, iodized salt by Diamond Crystal Salt, Mulkey Salt, Inland Delray Salt, Michigan Salt Works, and Ruggles and Rademaker appeared on Michigan grocers’ shelves. By the fall of 1924, Morton Salt Company began distributing iodized salt nationally.
