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.

Today, the teddy bear might be a classic by everyone's standards. He really didn't get his start until the start of the 20th century, however, when he was created and then named after then President Theodore Roosevelt.

So how was it that the furry guy got named after one of the country's most adored presidents?

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.

A toy developer saw the picture and created a toy bear cub which he stuffed and placed in his shop window. He called it "Teddy's bear." He also sent one to the president. By 1906 manufacturers everywhere were making the "Roosevelt Bears" and everyone wanted one. President Roosevelt even used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.

In the beginning, the teddy bears looked like real bears. However, they eventually became a little more cuddly and loveable looking. Today, they're more soft and plush than they are realistic. Since his inception, the teddy bear bas become an icon and has been celebrated in song, dance, film, cartoons, and commercials. The older teddy bears are collector items and while you can find them in figurines and made out of everything from paper mache to expensive porcelain, it is the soft, plush variety that remains the most beloved.

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 the high prices of checks stopped you from buying designer images in the past then you'll be happy to know that now when you purchase them from a highly regarded online dealer you can save as much as 50% off the price of your new checks.

Plus, you'll have a lot of different designs to pick from, too. In addition, you'll have accessories such as matching address labels and leather checkbook covers that can also be purchased at an additional cost to go with your new teddy bear checks! Not only are coordinating accessories fun to carry and look at, but they're practical as well so you might feel even more tempted to purchase them. Writing checks has never been as much fun.
