Charles Goodyear
Imagine rubber money, musical instruments, flags, jewelry, ships' sails-even rubber ships! Charles Goodyear wanted to make (nearly) everything of rubber. He wore rubber hats and ties. He ate from rubber dishes. When he fell into debt and was taken to jail, his wife brought him rubber and a rolling pin. There he chopped, kneaded, and rolled it out like dough, experimenting with ways to make rubber-which in its raw state is gooey and unusable-the flexible and bouncy stuff we know today. Eventually, he succeeded, but still died $200,000 in debt.
