LIGHTER
1947	Johnson’s Wax Tower Lighter.  In 1999 I contacted the SC Johnson Archive Department.  According to their records, these were produced in 1947,  and some were given away at that time as Christmas gifts.  One was sent to Frank Lloyd Wright which lead the archivist to believe that he had nothing to do with the lighter project or he would probably have gotten an advanced copy (that was the practice).  In 1948, more were given out as Christmas gifts.  When the Tower was dedicated on 11/17/50, Mr. Wright was in attendance.  250 were invited. 200 accepted, and each were given a lighter as a memento.	1947.00.0499
