Collection Number:
Mss3 R5535 a FA2
Collection Name:
A. H. Robins Company Records, .
8.400 (ca.) items.
Corporate, advertising, and historical materials relating to the pharmaceutical company A. H. Robins, Richmond, Va.
Scope and Content Information
The A. H. Robins Company records were collected and donated to the Virginia Historical Society ten years after this highly successful pharmaceutical firm was sold and the Robins family relinquished control. The circumstances surrounding the assembling of the collection have led to an eclectic group of records, consisting of corporate materials dating from ca. 1885 to 1944; a product information section of both A. H. Robins and a a series of scrapbooks that date from ; personal materials of E. Claiborne Robins, including information about his donations through the Robins Foundation to the University of R Robins family personal papers, which include degrees received by Claiborne Robins, Lora (McGlasson) Robins, and Martha (Taylor) R and audio visual materials, including reels of motion picture film, video tapes, and audio tapes. There are no files pertaining to Dalkon Shield ligation in this collection.
In conjunction with the processing of this collection, an oral history project was undertaken to document the experiences of A. H. Robins employees at all levels. The resulting interviews reflect the impact of the company's corporate culture on the lives of its employees. These interviews are available in transcribed form.
Many former employees donated items while participating in the society's A. H. Robins
some of these items have been incorporated into the collection, while others of a more personal nature have been cataloged independently.
Biographical/Historical Information
The A. H. Robins Company was founded by Claiborne Robins () as an "ethical" pharmaceutical enterprise. Ethical pharmacy sales are made only to doctors, dentists, hospitals, and pharmacies. The company was an offshoot of the A. H. Robins Apothecary started in 1866 by Albert Hartley Robins (), Claiborne Robins's father. The original apothecary was located at 523 North Second Street in Richmond, Va., and later moved to 200 East Marshall Street. Claiborne Robins, who unlike his father graduated from pharmacy school, formed a separate business selling his father's medications directly to doctors. The father and son kept separate books for their companies.
While building his pharmaceutical company, Claiborne Robins died in 1912 at the age of 39, leaving a widow and his two-year-old son as heirs. Martha (Taylor) Robins (ca. ) was the head of the company until her son, E. Claiborne Robins (), took over the business as president in 1936. The original apothecary was closed in 1929 because of Albert Hartley Robins’s deteriorating health.
E. Claiborne Robins is credited with bringing A. H. Robins to its national and international prominence. His mother kept the company afloat twenty-one years for her son, but was unable to increase its size and customer base. When E. Claiborne Robins graduated from pharmacy school in 1933, the A. H. Robins Company had three employees, including Martha (Taylor) Robins. During his administration, Robins was able to hire salesmen, develop new drugs and production facilities, acquire subsidiary companies, and expand into international markets.
E. Claiborne Robins started in his family's business as a salesman. He met his future wife while traveling through Texas selling his pharmaceutical products. Lora Elizabeth McGlasson (b. 1912) and E. Claiborne were married in 1938 in Waco, Texas. Lora worked alongside her husband to help his company grow. After her mother-in-law retired in 1946, Lora became the company's secretary. Although the first decade of E. Claiborne's tenure had its share of obstacles, by 1942 the company finally reached the $100,000 profit mark. In the early 1940s Robins was able to stop traveling as a salesman and hire others to sell his products. By this point the company had grown to twenty employees. In 1949 the company introduced three popular products, Robitussin, an antitussive- Pabalate, and Entozyme a digestant. The sale of these three products doubled the profits of the company in one year. In 1953 A. H. Robins opened its first manufacturing plant, and also moved the company headquarters to a new location on Cummings Drive in Richmond, Virginia.
Robins decided to step into the realm of research when he hired Dr. Eugene Jackson from Emory University in 1945 to be medical director. In 1948 the A. H. Robins Company employed its first researcher, Dr. Bob Murphey. Dr. Murphey worked initially at labs rented from the University of Richmond, until the new headquarters were built in 1953. He developed Robaxin, which was the first product patented by A. H. Robins. The company's first licensed product, in 1956, was Dimetane.
The overall strategy of the company was to concentrate on common illnesses and conditions that would create a large demand for lower end prescriptions, resulting in an extremely profitable margin. Other pharmaceutical companies had too many products on the market at one time and could not compete with Robins' emphasis on a few products. By 1959 A. H. Robins sales were over thirty-three million dollars.
A. H. Robins expanded internationally when the company began exporting items to Puerto Rico in 1946; from there sales extended to Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela and South America generally. In 1965 George Thomas was hired as the director of international development. He moved the sales of A. H. Robins products into more than one hundred countries while the company and acquired fifteen subsidiaries in foreign countries.
In 1963 the company's profits reached a major milestone at fifty million dollars, and A. H. Robins began to acquire other companies like Morton Manufacturing Corporation, which made Chap Stick. The purchase made the company more diversified and gave it interests outside of the increasingly government-regulated pharmaceutical field. A public offering of stock was also made in 1963, and the company began to set aside discount stock for its employees. In 1965 the company purchased Labratorios Ergos and Productos Medicinales in Venezuela. Swinson Foods, Laboratories Martinet, Paris, and Laboratorios Wadel, Brazil, were all acquired in 1966. That same year, E. Claiborne Robins, Jr. (b. 1943), became the fourth generation of Robinses to answer the call when he joined the company.
Another significant milestone was reached in 1967 when A. H. Robins achieved net sales of one hundred million dollars. E. Claiborne Robins reiterated his concern, "excessive government regulation and investigation" in the 1967 Annual Report. That same year the company bought the Polk Miller Corporation, headquartered in Richmond, Va., which produced pet care products, as well as Parfums Caron, a French company. The following year, A. H. Robins combined the Polk Miller Corporation and the Morton Manufacturing Corporation into the Miller-Morton subsidiary. This helped expand the company's product line beyond pharmaceuticals, creating an even more diversified and less regulated product base.
In 1970 E. Claiborne Robins, who had been working at a hectic pace since he started with the company, became the chairman of the board and handed the presidential duties to company officer William L. Zimmer. At that time, 69 percent of A. H. Robins sales was produced by ethical pharmaceutical products, and the remaining percentage was provided by consumer products. Taking a step that would have a dramatic influence on its future, the company purchased the rights to the Dalkon Shield, an intrauterine contraceptive device, for seven hundred fifty thousand dollars and 10 percent of sales. The device, which entered the market in late 1969, was invented by Dr. Hugh J. Davis of Johns Hopkins University in 1968. The Shield's innovative design ultimately led to its downfall, when users reported problems. But in 1971, the promising success of Dalkon Shield sales were noted in the Annual Report and the future looked bright.
Also in 1970, E. Claiborne Robins, Jr. , who was being groomed to take over the company, was promoted to assistant vice president in the pharmaceutical division, and elected to the board of directors of the company. E. Claiborne Robins suffered a heart attack in 1972, further reducing his involvement leading the everyday tasks of the company.
A. H. Robins reached the two hundred million dollar sales mark in 1974, doubling its sales in roughly seven years. However, dark clouds were starting to gather on the horizon. Upon recommendation from the Food and Drug Administration, the company suspended domestic distribution and sale of the Dalkon Shield, citing reports of problems with the product.
In 1975 A. H. Robins took a new direction. E. Claiborne Robins stepped down as CEO and William L. Zimmer replaced him, marking the first time in A. H. Robins history that a non-family member headed the company. However also, by 1975 the lawsuits from users of the Dalkon Shield began mounting against the company.
William L. Zimmer retired in 1978 and E. Claiborne Robins, Jr., replaced him as CEO. That same year Robitussin was reported to be the, "number one seller among cough preparations in pharmacies," and the company remained ranked fifth among U. S. pharmaceutical manufacturers. Despite the company's profitability, earning over 350 million dollars in net sales during 1978, the Dalkon Shield litigation continued to mount.
In response to the financial strain of settling Dalkon Shield litigation, the company restructured, hoping to increase profitability. In the Annual Report for 1981 the company and its insurer estimated that they had paid out 98 million dollars in closed and pending Dalkon Shield cases. However, throughout the 1980s the number of Dalkon Shield claims continued to grow. In 1984 the company reported its first negative net earnings, a loss of 461 million dollars.
This loss can be attributed in large measure to the creation of a reserve fund of almost 500 million dollars for the future settlement of Dalkon Shield claims. As a result of the massive losses and litigation, the company did not pay its stockholders a dividend for the first time in its history. Despite a positive net earnings report the next year, the financial status of the company required it to file for bankruptcy protection. Net sales stood at an all time high and net earnings increased in 1986, but the company had to dispose of three subsidiaries. American Home Products made its first offer for A. H. Robins at this time, but withdrew it in early 1987.
In 1987 the company estimated that $2.475 billion was, "the total value of all claims and related expenses of administration" for the Dalkon Shield litigation. American Home Products made a second offer for A. H. Robins in 1987, but a bidding war ensued between Rorer Group, Inc., and a French firm Sanofi. After initially accepting Rorer Group's offer, A. H. Robins rescinded the agreement, and in January 1988 the company eventually accepted American Home Products offer, which took effect in 1989. Because A. H. Robins had initially accepted Rorer Group's purchase offer, the company was fined almost thirty million dollars by the court.
American Home Products became Wyeth in 2002. The former A. H. Robins Company is now part of Wyeth's Consumer Healthcare Division, which currently operates a plant in the old Robins headquarters complex in North Richmond.
Throughout the company's history, E. Claiborne Robins and his family have prided themselves in rewarding employee loyalty. In 1951, Robins began closing the company to enable for all-expense-paid employee vacations. These trips came to an end when U.S. Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.) and his Anti-Trust and Monopoly Subcommittee held hearings on the pharmaceutical industry specifically aimed at showing how industry giants raked in immense profits at the expense of the American consumer. However, at Robins, employee perks continued, albeit on a lesser scale. In addition to free coffee, employees received bonus checks on birthdays and at Christmas, and Friday afternoons off during the summer. Mr. Robins always felt the company gained incalculable value from treating the employees as he would want to be treated himself.
The growth and success of the company also allowed E. Claiborne Robins, his wife, Lora Robins, and their family to be extremely generous to the state of Virginia and to the city of Richmond. The University of Richmond received over $170 million from the Robins family during Mr. Robins's lifetime, including a fifty-million dollar gift in 1969. Numerous Richmond institutions have been beneficiaries of the generosity of the Robins family and their foundation. Institutions including the Richmond SPCA, Virginia Union University, the American Red Cross, Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and the Virginia Historical Society have all received generous contributions.

Series 1. Corporate Materials, .
The Board of Director's minutes of the A.H Robins Co., Inc., pertain to a precursor of the company that is represented in this collection. The minutes begin in 1936 after E. Claiborne Robins took control of the company and stop with the dissolution of that company in 1 October 1944 (folder 1). It is interesting to note that the business agreement between E. Claiborne Robins and his mother dates from the same week as the dissolution of the earlier company. This agreement formalized E. Claiborne Robins's leadership of A. H. Robins, but the agreement did little to change the structure or operations of the company. The two companies are in effect the same, but after 1944 the company was run as a partnership between E. Claiborne and his mother until she retired. Also, related to the earlier company are financial materials (folders 2–16), bound and loose prescriptions (folders 17–18), promotional materials, including product promotion materials and, postcards and letters that were received from doctors and pharmacists requesting samples of company products (folders 19–35). The postcards are arranged chronologically and the letters are roughly organized alphabetically. Series 1.2 relates to the reorganized A. H. Robins Company and includes the legal agreement between Martha (Taylor) Robins and E. Claiborne Robins forming the reorganized A. H. Robins Company (folder 36), presentations, stock offerings, travel material relating to trips sponsored by the A. H. Robins Company for employees, trips sponsored by employees for Mr. and Mrs. Robins, and travel by the Robins family to intern files regarding the Western Hemisphere Conference sponsored by A. H. Robins Company (folders 50–54); and miscellaneous historical materials collected from employees to create an archive. Many of the historical materials were collected from Robins foreign subsidiaries. Other items include pay stubs, prescription samples, and price lists (folders 55–63).

Informational publications
The Robins family does not distinguish between the start of Albert H. Robins apothecary and the start of A. H. Robins company, they are lumped together. A number of the informational publications mention the start of the apothecary/company as 1878. This date was believed to be the start of the company until 1978, when research proved that the original apothecary was started by E. Claiborne Robins's grandfather in 1866.

Series 8. Audio Visual Materials
Visual Materials
The film collection features various aspects of the Robins's family life and their business. The films are available for viewing with advanced notice to the reference staff. The film reels in the canisters were transferred to DVD, and have been consolidated onto two discs. A third disc was made of an dicta-trans audio recording. The reels of film cannot be served to the public. Some of the films were damaged before they were transferred to DVD, and as a result have uneven focus or other visual disruptions. The first disc is mainly Robins family related. The second disc primarily concerns the A. H. Robins Company.
Disc 1 is divided into 11 chapters, the first chapter is the title page. The films in the second and third chapters are located under the title "various vacations," and feature vacations that Mr. and Mrs. Robins took together during the mid 1940s. Locations include Cuba, Niagra Falls, Lake Louise, and Vancouver, BC. A group of pharmaceutical people may be featured in the trip to Lake Louise. The primary camera person is Mrs. Lora Robins. Chapter 4, "Clearview Family, March 1949," shows the Robins family at Clearview, the family home in Richmond, Virginia in 1949 (also featured are their two dogs Prince and Princess). Chapter 5, "Hershey and 1st Parade," featured a vacation Mr. and Mrs. Robins took with Robins employee G. Mallory Freeman, the director of advertising for A. H. Robins, and his wife Mary Mills Freeman to the Hotel Hershey in Pennsylvania in 1955. Views of the Richmond Tobacco Festival parade from A. H. Robins's building on Broad Street in 1955 can be seen in chapters 5, 6, "Parade, 3rd P" 8, "Tobacco P" and 9 (8 and 9 are the same film). In chapter 7, "New York Trip," one can see parts of an A. H. Robins Co. sponsored trip for employees to New York City in 1953. Unfortunately the film is damaged, with problems with drifting focus. Mr. and Mrs. Robins's vacation to Marineland, Cyprus Gardens, Florida is located in chapter 10, "Florida, Cyprus Gardens, Marineland." The last family movie, filmed in black and white, chapter 11, "Museum," (mislabeled when it arrived to the VHS) is of a pool party hosted by the Robins for exchange students. The party was attended by Bishop Walter F. Sullivan.
Disc 2 is divided into seven chapters, chapter one being the title page. The first two films, chapters two, and three, "Wadel Laboratories, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil," are from Mr. and Mrs. Robins's company trip to tour subsidiary Wadel Laboratories in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Wadel films are in black and white film without sound. Chapters four, "A. H. Robins Research Lab Groundbreaking, 1962," and five, "Dedication of Research Lab," show the events surrounding the ground breaking and dedication for the Research Laboratories in 1962. A ground breaking and press conference for the dedication of the building, without sound, are shown. Chapter 6, "Bowl of Hygeia," includes a film about the A. H. Robins Co. sponsored pharmacist award the Bowl of Hygeia. The film is in color and includes sound. The last film, chapter 7, "A. H. Robins Company," contains a film about the A. H. Robins Company history in color with sound. Facilities and key employees are featured in the film.
