James Densmore was the driving force behind 
one of the first commercial typewriters built at
a machine shop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Inner Sanctum Mysteries, a popular anthology series that aired from Jan. 
7, 1941 to Oct. 5, 1952 (NBC/CBS), was created by producer Himan Brown 
and was based on the generic title given to the mystery novels of Simon 
and Schuster. The anthology series featured stories of mystery, terror 
and suspense, and its tongue-in-cheek introductions were in sharp 
contrast to shows like Suspense and The Whistler. The early programs 
opened with Raymond Edward Johnson introducing himself as, “your
host, Raymond.” The program’s familiar and famed audio trademark
was the eerie creaking door which opened and closed the broadcast.
