Good Morning #Canada
There has been lots of painting this week as we prepare to sell our house, and I have to give thanks to Norman James Breakey, who invented the paint roller in 1940. He patented it in Canada (only unfortunately) and produced it in a home factory. After WW II, he sold at least 50,000 rollers but U.S. companies jumped on the patent oversight, and Breakey died without recognition or wealth.
