About Jesse Armour Crandall
- Jesse Armour Crandall (October 20, 1834 – August 3, 1920) was an American inventor and toy-maker.
- He had taken out over 150 patents on toys in his 75 years of inventing.
- Crandall's father, Benjamin Potter Crandall, was also a toy-maker as well as three of Jesse's brothers (Benjamin, Charles Thompson and William Edwin).
- Unlike his brothers who remained primarily associated with their father's toy business in New York City, Jesse started his own company in Brooklyn.
- It was a friend, perhaps Henry Ward Beecher, who named him "The Child's Benefactor".
- This became his trademark and slogan.
