Until then, Cupid's Quiver was produced by Joseph Laboratories in Los Angeles, a tiny, one-product firm formed this year by Hylton Socher, a public relations man, and Harvey Meyerhoff, a graphics designer. They had acquired the product from Michael Intrator, a musician, who had developed it. For a time, he sold Cupid's Quiver through ads in the Los Angeles Free Press and other underground newspapers...
