STICK AROUND!
We've all heard that old saying "Necessity
is the mother of invention." And necessity may
have prompted Richard Drew to come up with
the product he introduced on this day in 1915.
Richard was working with the 3M company,
testing a new sand paper at an auto body shop.
The workers were having a tough time separating
paints on a two tone car and that got him to
thinking and experimenting. He came up with a
masking tape that allowed the workers to safely
"seal off" the parts that weren't to be painted from
the parts that were. And that lead him to the invention
he unveiled on September 8th of 1915. It was a clear
adhehesive initialld called Cellulose tape. You probably
know it better today as "Scotch Tape!" Drew's invention
has saved me many a time! Hope it's helped you too and
that all your NEWS is good.
