"Liquid Paper was sold to the Gillette Corporation in 1979 for $47.5 million (plus a royalty on every bottle sold until the year 2000). Bette Nesmith Graham died in 1980, leaving half her fortune to her son Michael and half to philanthropic organizations."
One of the best deals ever struck, shirley? I bet there was a decline in sales from around 2000 anyway!
