  • "Checkered Game of Life," in 1860. It sold 45,000 copies in the first year. The Milton Bradley Co. continued to dominate the production of games through the 1900s, with more recent, familiar games such as "The Game of Life," "Candyland," "Battleship" and "Operation."

  • American engineer Martin Cooper (born 1928) is often dubbed the father of the mobile phone. In November of 1972, he and a team of associates at the Motorola Company began working on a prototype of the Dyna-Tac phone, and five months later Cooper stood on a Manhattan street and placed the world's first call from a mobile phone. “There were a lot of naysayers over the years,” Cooper admitted in an interview with Investor's Business Daily writer Patrick Seitz. “People would say, ‘Why are we spending all of this money? Are you sure this cellular thing will turn out to be something?’ ”

  • Forty years ago this month, Motorola engineer Martin Cooper changed the world by making the world’s first cell phone call. He stood on a New York City street on April 3, 1973, with a 10-inch-long, 2.5-pound phone nicknamed “the brick” and called his engineering nemesis at the much bigger Bell Labs.
  • Cooper’s latest product, which he created with his wife Arlene Harris, is an ultra-simple phone for seniors called the Jitterbug. “I hate the concept of trying to build a universal device that does all things for all people, because then it doesn’t do any of them very well,” Cooper said. “I think what is going to happen in the future is more customization, more personalization. We all are different and we ought to be able to customize and have a phone that does exactly what we want it to do – that is so easy to use that we don’t even have to think about it. That’s what the dream is.”

    This is a pretty good informational site about the cell phone, and even one of his other inventions, the Jitterbug, a cell phone for elderly people.

  • Leadership, Innovation & Integrity
  • Today, the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company is a global organization with operations in more than 40 nations, distributing products to more than 180 countries. Its heritage is filled with stories of leadership, innovation, and integrity, but its origins begin over a century ago when a Chicago businessman decided to offer his customers a little “something for nothing.”

  • With the advent of the American Civil War, Milton saw the interest in games fade until he created the idea of a small kit of games for the soldiers to play during periods of inactivity. His kit included chess, checkers, backgammon, dominoes, and his Checkered Game of Life. The kits were sold directly to the soldiers as well as charitable organizations who distributed them to the soldiers.
  • Milton's success with games monetarily carried his interest in supporting the new kindergarten movement. However, with the 1870 recession, his partners were no longer willing to support these extra costs. Milton chose to continue his support of the kindergarten movement and his friend, George Tapley, bought out the partners and became president. This left Milton free to invent new games and educational materials.
  • This foresight paid off by the early 1900s. Kindergartens were spreading across the United States and the teachers were buying Milton's art supplies, multiplication sticks, toy money, movable clock dials, story books, school furniture, and educational games. Milton Bradley Company's education department went from operating at a loss to being a major source of earnings for the company.1
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • On this solid basis, Milton continued to produce games and puzzles, such as word games, trivia knowledge games, biblical games, traditional games, rebus-based games, and an early type of Monopoly called “The Way to Make Money.” Additionally, Milton researched and codified the rules for croquet that was included with his croquet sets. Those rules became the standard in America.
  • Milton continued to produce games, especially parlor games and jigsaw puzzles.
  • When Milton died in 1911, the company was temporarily led by Ralph Ellis before it was co-chaired by Milton's son-in-law Robert Ingersoll and George's son, William Tapley. By 1920, Milton Bradley Company had five manufacturing sites in Springfield.
