sunglasses famous
what happened to the foster grant company?
its used to be a company that was located in leominster ( near fitchburg) massachusetts and it did good business with those from new york. this small city needed that company. after the founder died, does anyone know who bought it.
not many people know leominster is the birthplace of johnny appleseed and is a pioneer plastic company.
* its famous for making the first sunglasses that hollywood stars starting wearing in the 1920’s not thinking they were childish like the public thought.
its really sad. the city used to be “important”
Nothing happened to them, they are alive and well.

The History of Sunglasses
The history of sunglasses may be dated back to the twelfth century of ancient China and Rome, or even earlier. It has been reported that the Roman emperor Nero enjoyed watching gladiator fights through polished gems. In China, Sunglasses were first made out of lenses that were flat panels of smoky quartz. These types of sunglasses could not correct vision, or protect from harmful UV rays, but did reduce glare. Chinese judges used the smoky quartz glasses to hide their facial expressions when they interrogated witnesses. Then the history of sunglasses can be traced back to Europe owing to the introduction of Marco Polo from China. Initially, the sunglasses there were used to hide one’s vision besides thoughts. It wasn’t until the mid-1700s that the sunglasses joined hats and umbrellas as sun protection. With World War II brewing in 1936, sunglasses became polarized when Edwin H. Land began using his patented Polaroid filter when making sunglasses. And Ray-Ban designed anti-glare aviator style sunglasses, using polarized lens technology were created by him at that time. Since that ime, the booming history of sunglasses begans, more and more Americans started buying sunglasses. Famous movie stars and musicians also began to wear sunglasses. They started to become not only a way to protect against sun glare, but also a way to be cool. Sunglasses became a cultural phenomenon, and some people wore them even when it wasn’t sunny, or when they were indoors. In the 21st Century, as the mix of newfangle and retro style is loved by nearly every people, more and more creative and stylish sunglasses appear. They show up in many shops including online shops and local stores. If you have the intention of buying one or more, you can recomanded to try some online shops suan as Topons.com as they provide with lower prices and more choices for you, some even give you some coupons and free gifts.
