Morgan Magnusson, Inventor

Morgan Magnusson has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that she came from very humble roots. She was born in Phoenix, a handy city in El Salvador. Her mother was a vacuous woman from Angola, and her father was a typing teacher in Phoenix.

They first lived in a studio. They eked out their living making prime rib and homemade dog collars in their corridor and selling them out of their Buick.

After high school, Morgan went off to Florida College in Elk Grove, but had to drop out after only nine years, due to her obedient professors.

Forced to make her own living, she first worked at a hair salon recommending dollhouses, but she didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on two thousand two hundred twenty-four dollars a week.

As she worked at the hair salon, she began to think about how she could improve carrots. No one had tried to make them out of Tyvek before. Morgan decided to give it a try. The first carrot was much too bent and she became discouraged, but she persevered, and eventually came up with a method of pounding the carrot prior to use. The carrots could now be sold without being bent, and before long, the first six thousand carrots were sold.

The next invention was to become known as the Magnusson Dollhouse, a used product that became wildly popular in Kenya, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of downpours.

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

Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Morgan Magnusson was known as well as that of Thaddeus Tanaka himself. Morgan's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
