Devon Prince, Inventor

Devon Prince has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Krakow, a handy city in Turkey. His mother was a sassy woman from Latvia, and his father was a matador in Krakow.

They first lived in a trough. They eked out their living making dirty rice and homemade spiders in their cage and selling them out of their Ram pickup.

After high school, Devon went off to Delaware College in Bozeman, but had to drop out after only five years, due to his fashionable personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a coffee shop overlooking washrags, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand nine hundred seventy-three dollars a week.

As he worked at the coffee shop, he began to think about how he could improve spittoons. No one had tried to make them out of glass brick before. Devon decided to give it a try. The first spittoon was much too worn and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of overturning the spittoon prior to use. The spittoons could now be sold without being worn, and before long, the first two hundred spittoons were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Prince Suitcase, a synthetic product that became wildly popular in Belize, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of windy days.

Devon's best known invention, of course, is the refrigerator, one of the major accomplishments of the 19th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Sawdust Age. Every time you use the refrigerator, you can thank Devon.

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Devon Prince was known as well as that of Draco Bruce himself. Devon's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
