CELEBRITY OF THE MONTH
Earl Silas Tupper
110th Birthday, (July 28, 1907–October 5, 1983)
Discoverer of Tupperware

Earl Silas Tupper was born on July 28 1907, in Berlin, New Hampshire, and was the only child of Ernest and Lulu Tupper. Earl Tupper was energetic as a youngster, interested in business and in making money. He discovered he could sell a lot of the family's farm produce if he went door-to-door rather than just selling it at the farmer's market. By age 10, Earl learned that bringing the product to the customer was lucrative as well as enjoyable. He would reinvent this method years later in the form of the Tupperware party. He started his landscaping business during the Great Depression (1929–1939), it was a modestly successful venture. His Tupper Tree-Doctors Company stayed open for six years. During this time, Tupper also kept himself busy conducting various experiments and writing a series of scientific papers that described his vast interests and numerous ideas for inventions. However, at age 30 he was forced into bankruptcy instead of having made his first million.
