Fond memories of the black and white 'Liquid Paper' and the green, black and white 'Pen & ink' in the late 70's early 80's [1]. The former specialised for type writer and the latter, well, Pen and ink :-)
My mom and dad had the agency for the product in our country for a few years, building up the recognition of the brand, sales and distribution. Remember I had stickers of 'Pen & ink' on books, walls and generally all over the place . . . good memories.
In 1979 the Liquid Paper Company was sold to the Gillette Corporation, and we were told that they would manage the marketing and sales themselves. Not too surprising, Gillette had marketing and distribution of their products plenty covered . . . :-)
I was happy to learn from the NYT piece that the sale actually meant that Bette Nesmith Graham could reap the fruit of her hard work that was almost wrestled away from her. Sad to hear, though, that she died just six months later of stroke.

An inspirational women and an inspiring story!
