Bubble Companies

Morris Plastics Corp., NY

New York City dentists Louis and Norman Greene were exploring innovative applications of plastics after World War II, and came up with an idea for a bubble blower. They created the molds for Mr. Bubbles and His Magic Bazoo in Norman's home shop.

After lining up needed backing, they started Morris Plastics Corp., which was named after the men's father Morris Greenblatt, and began production.

Mr. Bubbles appeared in stores for the Christmas season of 1961, and Donald the Bubble Duck came soon after.

Louis Greene's son Steven provided the above information.
