Soften Your Checks With Cuddly Teddy Bears

By Alan Plastin


Who doesn't love the cuddly, loveable images of teddy bears? Now, if you want to make your personal checks a little more personable, you can use the delightful little bears to spruce up your checks and bring a touch of personality to them.

Although the teddy bear might be a classic toy today and loved by all, he really hasn't been around as long as it might feel like he has. The teddy as we know him today was developed in the beginning of the 20th century and was named after Theodore Roosevelt.

So how did the dearly loved little guy get his name from one of the much-loved presidents in the history of our country?

Apparently, President Roosevelt was hunting bears in Mississippi in 1902 with the governor of Mississippi when one of the president's attendants clubbed and tied an American Black Bear to a willow tree after chasing him with hounds. When they called the president over, they suggested to him that he should shoot the bear but he refused. Still, he insisted that the bear be killed because it was the humane thing to do. This became the subject of a political cartoon in the Washington Post.

The cartoon was seen by a toy developer who was making a bear at the time. He stuffed it and put it in his shop window with a little sign that said "Teddy's bear." One was sent to the president as well. Manufacturers everywhere were making the "Roosevelt Bears" by 1906. They were hugely popular and even the president wanted one for his mascot in his reelection.

Initially, the teddy bears looked like authentic bears. Later on, they became a little more cuddly and loveable looking. These days, they're softer and friendlier than they are realistic. Since his beginning, the teddy bear bas become a representation of childhood and has been celebrated in song, dance, film, cartoons, and commercials. Older teddies are collector items and while you can find them in figurines and made out of everything from paper mache to porcelain, it is the plush variety that remains the most dearly loved of all.

There are several different kinds of Teddy Bear checks to choose from and all of them are just as cute and cuddly as the bears themselves. Well, perhaps not as cuddly, but you'll certainly feel as though you could reach in and touch them!

If you hesitated against buying checks in the past because they were too expensive then you'll be glad to learn that these days when you buy your checks from a reputable online company you can save as much as 50% off their cost.

You will have a lot of designs to choose from, in addition to coordinating accessories. Not only will you be able to pick from lots of great looking designer check series, you'll have coordinating address labels, contact cards, and leather checkbook covers that you can buy at an extra cost to go along with your new checks as well.
