...built a set by hand in his attic. Upshot was that for the next few years Atwater Kent was the fastest-selling radio on the market. Mr. Kent contributed little to radio science. Indeed, in 1927 he settled a whopping suit brought by Radio Corp. of America for patent infringement. What he did give the industry was mass production.

Her prim pictures, however, remained on every package of tier famed Vegetable Compound, and clerks went on answering in her name 100,000 letters per year from women who thought the compound relieved their periodic ills. When the late Edward W. Bok started his crusade against patent medicines, he debunked the post-mortem Pinkham correspondence by publishing in his Ladies' Home Journal a picture of Mrs. Pinkham's tombstone.
