"Betty James, Co-Founder Of Slinky Dead At 90 allheadlinenews ^ | November 23, 2008 Posted on November 23, 2008 6:46:37 AM EST by JoeProBono Hollidaysburg, PA (AHN) - Betty James - the co-founder of the company that made the Slinky - and a single mother who broke the glass ceiling to become a successful executive in the 1950s has died. She was 90. James co-founded what would become the Slinky empire in 1945 with her husband, the late Richard James. But when her husband left to join a religious cult and follow it to Bolivia, she took over control and management of the company, James Industries Inc., along with raising the couple's six children alone."
