during the 1920s the introduction of new products also brought the company financial success. in 1919 josiah hired biochemist george henry alexander clowes as director of biochemical research. in 1921 three university of toronto scientists, j. j. r. macleod, frederick g. banting, and charles h. best, were working on the development of insulin for treatment of diabetes. clowes proposed a collaboration with the researchers in december 1921, then again march and may 1922. the researchers were hesitant to work with a commercial drug firm, particularly since they had the connaught laboratories' non-commercial facilities at hand. nonetheless, as limits were reached at the scale to which connaught could produce insulin, clowes and eli lilly met with the researchers in 1922 to negotiate an agreement with the university of toronto scientists to mass-produce insulin. the collaboration greatly accelerated the large-scale production of the extract. in 1923, lilly began selling iletin (insulin, lilly), their tradename for the first commercially available insulin product in the u.s for the treatment of diabetes. numerous objections were registered by the insulin committee of the university of toronto in regard to lilly's use of the term "iletin", although production continued under this name and the objection was later dropped "as a concession".
