History
In 1920, the first adhesive bandages, Band-Aids, were modeled off of a tan or white tone. In 1951, the first decorative Band-Aids were introduced. They continue to be a commercial success, with such themes as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Superman, Spider-Man, Hello Kitty, Rocket Power, Rugrats, smiley faces, Barbie, Dora the Explorer, Batman and Duck Dynasty. After a few decades passed, the creation of the first colored adhesive bandage was made. Michael Panayiotis, a New York entrepreneur, created an adhesive bandage called "Ebon-Aid" which was modeled off of a brown tone. Some bandage tones that were created were light brown, dark brown, and cinnamon. In addition to white toned and brown toned adhesive bandages, Band-Aid sells sheer strips for any color skin tone that can be purchased in stores or online.

In World War II, millions were shipped overseas, helping popularize the product. Since then, Johnson & Johnson currently has estimated a sale of over 100 billion Band-Aids worldwide. Panayiotis previously estimated a sale of 20,000 Ebon-Aid bandages by the year 2002. Due to his shortcoming of his goal of 1 million boxes sold, Panayiotis donated the surplus of remaining bandages and folded his company.

Draft Feedback
Hey I am sending my edits to Professor Lair, but overall your article was very objective and remained unbiased. It was a little choppy in the first paragraph, but it's just a rough draft so that is expected!
