  • The Sanitarium continued to grow in fame until the Great Depression, when economic hardtimes forced Kellogg to sell it. He eventually opened another Sanitarium in Florida, but it never achieved the fame of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
  •  In 1900 John Harvey Kellogg wrote The Living Temple, his attempt to correlate physiology and health care with St. Paul’s admonission, “Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost?” Several Adventist leaders, including Ellen White, disapproved of the book’s theology. There were also disagreements concerning the health mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Kellogg advocated one large, world-famous center while Ellen White urged several smaller centers to spread the health message farther. By 1907, after much arguing and negotiation, Kellogg removed the Battle Creek property from Seventh-day Adventist ownership and was cut off from the church.
  • John Harvey, along with his brother Will, founded Sanitas Food Company in 1897. When Will wanted to add sugar to the Corn Flakes recipe, the brothers argued and fell out. In 1906 Will started his own company, the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which eventually became the Kellogg Company.

  • At its heighth, in 1906, with over 7,000 guests, including 1800 staff members, the Sanitarium became a destination for both wealthy and middle-class American citizens. It drew prominent people like Amelia Earhart, Johnny Weismuller, John D. Rockefeller and Warren Harding. Influential visitors like Mary Todd Lincoln and Sojourner Truth promoted Kellogg’s enthusiasm for health and wellness among the general population. It was nicknamed "The San" by its clients.
  • He promoted the Adventist principles of a low-fat, low-protein diet with an emphasis on whole grains, fiber-rich foods, and, most importantly, nuts. Kellogg also recommended a daily intake of fresh air, exercise, and the importance of hygiene. He offered classes on food preparation for homemakers.
  • In 1876 John Harvey Kellogg (1852 – 1943) became the superintendent of the Western Health Reform Institute. He renamed it the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a word he coined to infer a health-inducing institution.

  • This dilemma stems from Dr. Spence Silver's story in the 3M company's Innovation Chronicles. Silver went looking for a strong bond and found a weak one. Fascinated rather than embarrassed, he shared his results with co-workers, among them churchgoer Arthur Fry. Fry enjoyed singing Amazing Grace as much as the next guy, but he was bedeviled by the church hymnal's bookmarks. They kept falling out and making him lose his place. If only there was some way to secure the bookmark that wasn't permanent. Hey! Hello, Dr. Silver? The rest is Post-it Note

  • began to work on making an American board game similar to an imported game he had played with friends. This new game used a top that spun to indicate the number of squares to move, a first in American board games. Bradley was also the first to redefine the purpose of the board game. In his first game, The Checkered Game of Life, Bradley continued the tradition of using the game to impart moral advice to those playing, but he also defined success in the game by looking at how much wealth each player was able to create and obtain.
  • Bradley found success when he used his troubled business to print copies of this new game. Within two days, he sold all the copies he had printed and sold another 40,000 copies of the game in the first year alone.
  • The Smashed-Up Locomotive, Candy Land, and Battleship.

  • The Post It Note may have been a God-sent, literally. In the early 1970s, Art Fry was in search of a bookmark for his church hymnal that would neither fall out nor damage the hymnal.
  • Fry noticed that a colleague at 3M, Doctor Spencer Silver, had developed an adhesive in 1968 that was strong enough to stick to surfaces, but left no residue after removal and could be repositioned. Arthur Fry took some of Spencer Silver's adhesive and applied it along the edge of a piece of paper. His church hymnal problem was solved!
  • Arthur Fry soon realized that his "bookmark" had other potential functions when he used it to leave a note on a work file, and co-workers kept dropping by, seeking "bookmarks" for their offices.

  • 3M Corporation crafted the name Post It Note for Arthur Fry's new bookmarks and began production in the late 70s for commercial use.

Milton Bradley | The Play and Playground Encyclopedia - 2 views

  • With the advent of the American Civil War, Milton saw the interest in games fade until he created the idea of a small kit of games for the soldiers to play during periods of inactivity. His kit included chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes, and his Checkered Game of Life. The kits were sold directly to the soldiers as well as charitable organizations who distributed them to the soldiers.
  • Milton's success with games monetarily carried his interest in supporting the new kindergarten movement. However, with the 1870 recession, his partners were no longer willing to support these extra costs. Milton chose to continue his support of the kindergarten movement and his friend, George Tapley, bought out the partners and became president. This left Milton free to invent new games and educational materials.
  • This foresight paid off by the early 1900s. Kindergartens were spreading across the United States and the teachers were buying Milton's art supplies, multiplication sticks, toy money, movable clock dials, story books, school furniture, and educational games. Milton Bradley Company's education department went from operating at a loss to being a major source of earnings for the company.1
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • On this solid basis, Milton continued to produce games and puzzles, such as word games, trivia knowledge games, biblical games, traditional games, rebus-based games, and an early type of Monopoly called “The Way to Make Money.” Additionally, Milton researched and codified the rules for croquet that was included with his croquet sets. Those rules became the standard in America.
  • Milton continued to produce games, especially parlor games and jigsaw puzzles.
  • When Milton died in 1911, the company was temporarily led by Ralph Ellis before it was co-chaired by Milton's son-in-law Robert Ingersoll and George's son, William Tapley. By 1920, Milton Bradley Company had five manufacturing sites in Springfield.

  • "Triumph" is the name of an electronic board game invented by Coleman and Burten which they had hoped to sell to Milton Bradley
  • so they modified the game and resubmitted it to Milton Bradley after signing new disclosure agreements.  Triumph again was rejected by Milton Bradley
  • one year later, appellants discovered that Milton Bradley was marketing a new electronic board game under the name of "Dark Tower".  Because appellants believed that Dark Tower contained significant structural and design similarities to Triumph, they brought this action for trade secret misappropriation.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  •  At the close of appellants' case, the fraud count was withdrawn, the court directed a verdict for Milton Bradley on the contract claim, and denied without prejudice Milton Bradley's motion for a directed verdict on the misappropriation counts.  After the lengthy trial was concluded, the jury returned a general verdict for Coleman and Burten in the amount of $737,058.10 for royalties based on the Dark Tower profits.  Milton Bradley moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, and the district court, after a meticulous survey of the cases, which it recognized posed a "surprisingly close question", set aside the verdict.  We share the court's view of the closeness of the question, but feel constrained to allow the verdict to stand.
