PIN IT ON SLOCUM!
When it comes to inventions we all tend
to remember the big names and their big
inventions. Bell for the telephone. Edison
for electric lights. But there are plenty of
people whose inventions have made our
lives a little easier who never really get all
the gredit they deserve. Sam Slocum, I think,
would be one of those people. Sam was a
pin maker who invented a pin with a head
on it to kep it from going through cloth. But
his second invention really changed the scene
in most every office. His primitive pin folding
device, which was patented on this day in 1841,
eventually evolved into the stapler! Sam isn't
remember like Bell or Edison but his contributions
continue to make a big contribution to our daily
lives. So, thanks Sam! Hope your pins are cushoned,
your stapler is full, and that all your NEWS is good!
