Abstract
One evening in October 1928, two salesmen for Pittsburgh-based Federal Laboratories stood outside a garage in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, along with local policemen. One salesman tossed a tear gas "bomb" into the garage, followed by a $20 bill, and shouted, "The money is for the man who can get it." Officers charged into the building but the gas quickly drove most back out. Those who attempted to retrieve the cash "wept tears for about twenty minutes."
