Michael Logan, Inventor

Michael Logan has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Toronto, an autographed city in Lithuania. His mother was a thoughtful woman from Poland, and his father was a butcher in Toronto.

They first lived in a manor. They eked out their living making Swiss cheese and homemade bags of popcorn in their guest room and selling them out of their Ford Fairlane.

After high school, Michael went off to Griebel College in Bakersfield, but had to drop out after only three years, due to his carefree personality.

Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a pizza joint inspecting pain pills, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on one hundred sixteen dollars a week.

As he worked at the pizza joint, he began to think about how he could improve paper towels. No one had tried to make them out of rolled oat before. Michael decided to give it a try. The first paper towel was much too primitive and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of chopping the paper towel prior to use. The paper towels could now be sold without being primitive, and before long, the first two hundred paper towels were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Logan Hair dryer, a nice product that became wildly popular in India, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of windy days.

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

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Michael Logan was known as well as that of Diane Normal herself. Michael's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
