Her story is beyond fascinating.
The year was 1951.
Bette Nesmith Graham sat at her desk typing away as an executive secretary for a bank. Periodically she fingered the wrong keys, jumbling her correspondence with misspelled words.
Her ingenuity kicked in and she began to test varied mixtures to correct her mistakes.
She hit paydirt when she took a watercolor brush and applied tempera water-based paint to the blemished areas, blotting out the unwanted letters.
Her discovery fed her entrepreneurship spirit, leading her to form The Mistake Out Company.
She later changed its name to Liquid Paper (which magically blessed secretaries, authors, and all writers before the advent of computer-age backspacing).
And the rest is . . . history.
In 1979 Bette Nesmith Graham sold Liquid Paper for a massive 47.5 million dollars plus royalties to Gillette!

Here’s an interesting note before going forward …
Some of you baby boomers (of which I’m a member) and beyond may remember the Monkees, one of the most popular bands of the 1960’s. They were a pop-rock band that also enjoyed notoriety on the television screen with a series by the same name.
But here’s the deal …
Among the musical crew of the Monkees was a young man named Michael Nesmith.
You guessed it!
Bette Nesmith Graham’s son.
And one of the great hits of the Monkees was “I’m a Believer.”
Bette Nesmith Graham, creator of Liquid Paper, certainly teaches us to BELIEVE IN OURSELVES.
