The Teddy Bear 1902 - 2002

A hundred years ago all toy bears came to be known as Tebby Bears.

The year was 1902, and the 26th President Teddy Roosevelt an avid outdoorsman was visiting in Mississippi. During this visit several members of his Presidential party captured a bear cub and tied it to a nearby tree. Upon seeing this, ordered the bear set free.

Hearing of this noble act, a New York store owner wanted to name the toy bears in his store after the President. Thus, he wrote a leter to the President asking permission to name the toy bears "Teddy". The President gave his concent and from that day on all toy bears are called Teddy Bears.
