Morris Michtom - Inventor of the Teddy Bear →
Amusing fact:
He lived in Bed-Stuy in Brooklyn, and was selling candy in his shop at 404 Tompkins Avenue, two blocks from my apartment. After the creation of the bear in 1902 with his wife (in response to this political cartoon), the sale of the bears was brisk that Michtom created the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company.
