As amazing as it may seem cotton candy was invented by four men – Josef Delarose Lascaux, Thomas Patton, William Morrison, and John C. Wharton. Both Wharton and Morrison patented the first electric cotton candy machine back in 1899. Cotton candy was first introduced to the public at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. However it was 50 years later when in 1949 a cotton candy machine with a spring base was introduced that it became easier to process cotton candy. Today cotton candy continues to…

Did you know that Milton Hershey was poor, and started his business off of 100 dollars. I picked him because he made one of the best candy companies in the world, but he also opened up a school for needy children who can’t afford the cost. I liked how even though milton's business was a success he still remembered what it was like to be poor, and he didn’t want other children to not have an education due to not having a lot of money. Milton Hershey didn’t make his first piece of candy…

In September of 2005, Glaser created the "We Are All African" poster, illustrating an image of a hand with fingers that were the colors of the five races, and distributed copies throughout New York City. The poster was designed to benefit and raise awareness of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a global frontrunner in responding to the world’s most sever humanitarian crises.

Milton Glaser, a Fulbright scholar and one of America's most celebrated designers, wrote, " The mind's ability to alter itself is the source of human freedom. Information expands the capacity of the mind to change. Persuasion limits that capacity.…

"Books are not absolutely dead things," he wrote in Areopagitica - his celebrated attack on censorship - in 1644, "but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are." Anyone who kills a man, Milton said, kills "a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book kills reason itself".
