SARCONE: UTICA MAN WIN NAING SENTENCED TO 4 YEARS ON CHILD EXPLOITATION CHARGES

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

US Attorney John Sarcone announced on Monday, September 28 that 21-year-old Win Naing of Utica was sentenced on Tuesday, September 15 to four years in federal prison after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography. Chief US District Court Judge Brenda Sannes handed down the sentence in front of the District Court in Syracuse.

“This defendant’s criminal conduct is abhorrent and only serves to revictimize the children depicted in the child sexual abuse material the defendant sought out and collected,” Sarcone said in a statement. “The defendant’s conduct has now landed him in federal prison, which will hopefully serve as a warning to him and to others inclined to engage in this type of conduct: You will be found and you will be prosecuted.” MORE AT Utica man receives prison time on federal child exploitation charges

THE WONDERALL CO, THE CROTON CONNECTION, 1972

So a reader was doing some research into a grandfather's patent...and stumbled upon this 1972 item instead for THE WONDERALL CO. INC., CROTON-ON-HUDSON--------the 'WONDERALL" product seems to have been some sort of vitamin tablet. CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

Curious to know more, and hitting the proverbial dead-end, she decided to try Google AI; this is what it came up with---subject to verification of course---so stay tuned:

The early 1970s health product "WonderAll" was developed and patented as part of the broader Hudson Vitamin Products ecosystem, a massive national mail-order supplement giant deeply connected to the Hudson River region. The primary reasons this product is strongly tied to Croton-on-Hudson are due to the localized consumer marketing infrastructure of that era:

The Croton-on-Hudson Connection---While Hudson Vitamin Products operated its main multi-floor manufacturing and distribution plant at 79-89 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, its major marketing, consumer behavioral testing, and advertising campaigns were designed out of Croton-on-Hudson, New York. [1, 2]

During the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s, Hudson Vitamins contracted its brand strategy and consumer product testing directly through the Institute for Motivational Research, which was headquartered in Croton-on-Hudson. This famous institute analyzed how consumers responded to new health trends, name titles, and bottle designs, causing a massive amount of corporate vitamin testing material, focus groups, and regional catalogs to stem directly from the Croton area....

Sold through their famous direct-by-mail 64-page catalogs, "WonderAll" was rolled out as an all-in-one therapeutic daily multivitamin and mineral blend. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) heavily fined and restricted major mail-order vitamin companies—including Hudson Vitamin Products—for aggressive advertising over claims that their daily formulas could instantly cure "tired blood," exhaustion, or general ailments....and that ended that apparently.....
