Mrs. Tammy Johnson had gotten the idea from a magazine in 1953.'had gotten' sounds so incredebly ugly to me. But do with it what you want, haha, I just wanted to express my opinion on that.
Why they used to have such a thing as that.I'm incredebly tempted to put a comma after "why" but even then, the sentence is either missing words, or just a bit too odd. I understand it, but it sounds odd.
