New England-born and raised, Earl Silas Tupper (1907-1983) spent years developing a wide range of inventive ideas before achieving fame as the inventor of Tupperware. His 'Invention Diary and Sketchbook,' from which this page is taken, shows an endlessly inventive mind at work, each page expressing not only mechanical ingenuity but also a constant interest in product marketability.
