June 6, 1819
Traveling by horseback (or, for the well-to-do, horse and buggy) sure gives a man a lot of time to think. As Pioneer and I made our way into Pittsburgh, I had this crazy idea to fiddle with another possible invention, a toaster like no other. I found a local blacksmith and bartered with him for some scrap tin and stainless-steel. By the end of the hot and humid summer day, low and behold, I had assembled a contraption like no other. I decided to call it the Pioneer Folding Toaster. Compact, I thought, “What a great way to take a toaster anywhere, anytime you are in the mood for breakfast toast with butter, warmed bread to accompany any meal, or making delicious sandwiches (including peanut butter and jelly!) for a country camper, such as I, who’s always on the go making business deals or visiting relatives and dear friends”. Take a look-see at my family invention right here. You’ll be mighty glad you did...I can promise you that!
