Morris Michtom invented the Teddy Bear. Morris was selling candy in his shop in Brooklyn by day and making stuffed animals with his wife Rose at night. The Teddy Bear came about in response to a cartoon by Clifford K. Berryman depicting Teddy Roosevelt having compassion for a bear at the end of an unsuccessful hunting trip in Mississippi in 1902. After the creation of the bear in 1903, the sale of the bears was so brisk that Michtom created the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company in 1907.
