Where did the teddy bear come from?
The origin of the name Teddy Bear is related to the 26th President of the United States, theodore roosevelt. Roosevelt's nickname is Teddy.

/kloc-in the autumn of 0/902, the hunting-loving president hunted black bears along the Mississippi River, but he never found anything. The organizer noticed this situation and tied a captured little black bear to a tree for the president to shoot. But Roosevelt flatly refused. At that time, this rumor was painted as a satirical cartoon and published in Washington post.

Midham, an old Russian couple who opened a grocery store and fruit shop in new york, came up with the idea of sewing bear dolls after seeing the cute bear in the cartoon. Because their bear dolls were very popular, they later set up a creative toy company. This is the story of teddy bear's prosperity in America.

Teddy bear is really an unusual commodity. In the 1980s, it was also a clever business practice for merchants to issue special edition teddy bears in the market, which made its value rare. Even major international events, such as the unification of the Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany and the conclusion of a treaty by the European Community, have corresponding commemorative teddy bears, and each bear has a status symbol such as a manufacturing number or an identification certificate.
