In the early 1950's, was a secretary in search of a solution: a better way to correct typing mistakes. Her invention, Liquid Paper Correction Fluid, created a whole new industry. After watching her company grow from a kitchen stove operation to an international corporation with several hundred employees, Mrs. Graham stepped down as chairman of the board and entered the public practice of Christian Science healing.
As a friend told the Dallas press when Bette Graham recently received their award as one of the top women news-shapers: "I don't think you can separate her from Christian Science. Her inspiration, her convictions—everything she does—come from her religious beliefs. "
When people walk through Liquid Paper's manufacturing plant today and watch thousands of bottles being filled with correction fluid, it must be hard for them to imagine this all started in a kitchen. How did the company come into being, and how do you explain its rapid growth?
