The Smith Brothers had a serious sibling rivalry. They stood in their front yard as kids competing to see who could cough longest and loudest. Their family doctor said they had excess mucus and told them to drink water and use three pillows.
They synchronized their coughs to the point they gave concerts around town. As men, they decided to create a cough syrup beyond all others and they succeeded.
Now they are better know for cough drops. But the rivalry continued. They fought over who had the longest, thickest beard.
A billionaire bought their brand and went public. The stock stands at $457 a share.
