14th November 1902 Anniversary of the birth of the Teddy Bear
named after President Theodore Roosevelt after a cartoon was published deriding the President for not shooting a bear. Rose and Morris Michtom from Brooklyn then began making Teddy Bear toys that proved so popular they founded the Ideal Toy Company. The next year a German Company Steiff also began making Teddy Bears. Became a "must have" toy for all young children in the western world. Since then any soft toy in a bear shape is called a Teddy Bear.
