Kenneth Griggs Merrill PapersBusiness executive and writer Kenneth Griggs Merrill was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1891. Hired in 1911 as a clerk for the M. B. Skinner Manufacturing Company of Chicago, he advanced through the organization and, within 22 years, became its president. Merrill wrote numerous articles on salesmanship and advertising, as well as short stories and other articles of general interest. He died in 1963. Shortly before World War I, Merrill met Amelia Earhart, the first woman to pilot a plane across the Atlantic Ocean. The Merrill papers located at the Schlesinger Library consist of two photographs and two letters from Amelia Earhart to Merrill. Earhart discusses her poor health and her battle with influenza.
