Willis Sharpe Kilmer | Path Through History | WSKG History

In 1890, Willis Sharpe Kilmer arrived in Binghamton, New York where he took over the advertising department of the family business- Dr. Kilmer and Company. Young Willis devised a new and extremely effective print campaign that turned one of the company's many patent medicines, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root Kidney Liver and Bladder Cure, into a household name.

‘Uniquely New York’ is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
