| n 1897 Pearl B. Wait was a cough syrup manufacturer in Le-Roy, New York, whose business was not going very well. So he decided to give up the cough syrup business and branch out into something new. He picked the Food Industry. So he added a form of fruit syrup to the gelatin, naming the new product Jello | |

| The new business had no competition, but, unfortunately, not enough people wanted to try Jello. Wait sold the business to Orator Francis Woodward, a neighbor, for $450. Later when Woodward tried to sell the Jell-O business, reportedly for only $35. And no one was interested in buying it! | |
