It was first sold in pharmacies, but no one was able to experiment with this new invention. , All methods of selling failed in its first attempt. While traveling to New York to explain his new product to a large crowd, Chesbro burned his skin with a flame and acidic substance and used Vaseline to show people its amazing effectiveness in treating burns. He provided free samples to increase demand, and finally succeeded and opened its own factory, and called it "Vaseline" (was called "Petroleum jelly" in the beginning) and received a patenta in 1870.
