In the early 1900's the U.S. and Germany had stuffed toy bears that started to become popular with children.  The term "teddy" derives from the attribution of the bears to U.S. President Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt as he was commonly known as "teddy." Also as the story goes, the President was on a hunting trip and all the other men had made a kill during the hunt and the President had yet to do so, one of the men had hounds chase, corner and tie a black bear to a tree and wait for Roosevelt to come and kill it.  Upon arriving at the scene of the bear, the President was not happy and felt that shooting the bear was not proper sport at all, nevertheless he had the bear killed for humane reasons and to end the bear's suffering.  A cartoon depicting the disgusted President and the bear was created and circulated in the Washington Post newspaper and inspired a man to create a stuffed bear as a toy.  Years later teddy bears continue to thrive in popular culture throughout the world and today there even exist's a billion dollar industry for the toy.
