    There's very little that's more difficult or frustrating than trying to research the history of companies that have gone extinct or defunct or been absorbed by some larger company. The graphics on your spray canister look very 1970s, so much could have transpired since it was made. However, we'd bet (a very small amount) it's still in business with a different logo, here:
    http://www.finduslocal.com/whol-aut...ohome-supplies/ohio/cleveland/kent-industries

    Or they may be what's now Kent Automotive, having been bought out by and become a subsidiary of Lawson Products:
    https://www.kent-automotive.com/

    Or they may no longer exist at all, in which case you might try doing a search for news of their demise at one of the newspaper archive sites on the web.
    Good luck finding out whatever it is exactly that you're looking for!

    I couldn’t get a clearer picture, as the ad was removed.

    The United States Postal System adopted (implemented) the 5-digit zip code on July 1, 1963, so in my opinion that can of "battery sealer protector" would date no earlier than that date (i.e., not older than 55 years). ;)
