The first commercially-produced greeting card was a Christmas card invented in 1846 by British businessman Henry Cole who asked a printer to produce a printed Christmas greeting he could quickly send to friends
The earliest known earrings goes back, as far as the beginnings of the earth, in the Mesopotamia region.
Dow Chemical Company scientist, Ray McIntire invented foamed polystyrene aka Styrofoam. Ray McIntire said his invention of foamed polystyrene was accidental. His invention came as he was trying to find a flexible electrical insulator around the time of World War II.
In 1906 Halsey Willard Taylor and Luther Haws invented the first drinking water fountain. Later in 1911, Luther Haws patented the water faucet. The Halsey Taylor Company and Haws Sanitary Drinking Faucet & Co revolutionized the drinking water process. The main motive behind the invention was to provide purified water. Contaminated drinking water caused typhoid fever in Haws’ father who died as a result. Therefore Haws decided to invent something which would provide safer drinking water.
Just to answer a few of you questions. And...you are so Blessed because you chose to have faith in an unseen God! And you met me of course! ;) Love ya!
