Thoedore (Teddy) Rooselvelt, was invited on a hunting trip, on this trip one of the men had captured a Black Bear clubbed it, and tied it to a tree. The man told President Roosevelt he could shoot the bear, but President Roosevelt said he would not because he felt that it was rather unsportsman-like. He ordered that the bear be shot to be put out of it's misery. One shop owner after receiving permission from The Roosevelt's administration, sold a stuffed bear as Teddy's Bear. This soon caught on and became an industry.
