The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
LAST WEEK’S TRIVIA ANSWER
I trace my roots back to 1876, an era of questionable healing elixirs, when a Civil War veteran and pharmacist founded me in order to make high-quality medicines. In 1923 I introduced the world’s first commercially available insulin product, in 1955 I was the first to make and distribute the Salk polio vaccine globally, and in 1986 I launched Prozac to treat depression. Today, based in Indianapolis and with a market value recently near $90 billion, I’m a global health care giant with more than 40,000 employees, over 9,000 of whom work in research and development. Who am I? (Answer: Eli Lilly)
