Abstract:
A business venture by Mr. Troy M. Herring was inspired by his toddler. After watching the tireless child move about his home in Roseboro, Herring designed a collapsible baby pen to be used both at home and when traveling. He patented his invention in 1946 and by the next year joined fellow Roseboro citizens to open a factory capable of producing 100 pens a day.
