Thanks, too, for providing links to your Hubs related to your family heirloom signed by Theodore Roosevelt and William McKinley. Well, him saving the bear definitely opened a large business for children :) great read!ĭaisy Mariposa (author) from Orange County (Southern California) on May 13, 2012: He was frequently seen with a teddy bear after that.Įxcellent reading, Daisy! I had no idea the history of the Teddy Bear was from President Roosevelt saving a bear! Very interesting it's even quite comical but cute, in a sense. The bear incident caused a marketing campaign to be developed for Teddy Roosevelt. Thanks for reading and commenting in another of my Hubs. I use a lint roller to remove the dust from my teddy bears. Thanks for reading and commenting in my article. Very cute.ĭaisy Mariposa (author) from Orange County (Southern California) on July 02, 2012: I never had a 'name brand' bear.but I did receive a small Steiff mouse as a gift once-it was a lapel pin. Unless the reference is to many years later, after manufacturing began to be shipped offshore to China. The original bear, crafted by an immigrant's wife.would seem to imply that they were crafted right here.and their company was founded here. Well-done article! I did know the origin of the name, but am confused by a statement later in the article about the Vermont bears being founded because all the bears were then crafted outside the U.S. Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on July 02, 2012: I love teddy bears! Very informative hub on its history. Tours showing various aspects of manufacturing have been available since that time. In 1993, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company constructed a facility for both teddy bear manufacturing and showcasing the manufacturing process.
Within two days of launching this marketing campaign, Sortino’s sales goal for the entire year was met. In 1990, Sortino began shipping his bears across the country.It took him four days to sell his first bear in the market. In 1983, Sortino began selling his bears from a peddler’s cart in an open-air market in Burlington, Vermont.
Sortino decided to bring the handcrafting of bears to Vermont.
