ahh trev and I posted at the same time.
trevor is correct!!
the teddy bear was introduced in 1907, about the time when president theodore "teddy" roosevelt, while on a bear hunt, came upon a baby bear that he refused to let anyonee shoot. he president took a lot of ribbing about this, especially from the press, and one cartoonist for a national publication published a sketch depicting the incident. it was not long after this cartoon was published that toy manufacturers picked up on the idea and began marketing "teddy" bears.
okay...here's another one!
ever wonder why a wedding ring is always worn on the third finger?
