Known as Turner Tubes, it was established in 1898 by John S. Turner and manufactured collapsible tubes for creams and ointments. It was later run by his children and grandchildren; the family lived in a house located in front of the factory at 220 Raritan Avenue.
Eventually, the business relocated to South Brunswick and in 1962 all but one of the buildings were dismantled.
