Who invented
"Liquid Paper"?
Liquid Paper was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham, whose son Michael Nesmith was a member of the popular TV/psuedo rock band The Monkees Bette Graham was 17 when she got a job at a Texas bank as a secretary. In a flash of brilliance, she decided to create a paint to cover up typewriting mistakes. It worked! In 1956, she sold her first bottles of her new product, which she called "Mistake Out." She made it in her kitchen, and her son Michael and his friends bottled it in the family garage. By 1957, she was selling 100 bottles a month and had gotten a patent for her product, which she now called "Liquid Paper."
