Dr. Scholl's Lake Home!
Who said this? "Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell, and advertise!" That's right! Brilliant entrepreneur William Mathias Scholl, DPM! Born of German immigrants to Indiana in 1882, to earn extra cash, Scholl borrowed his grandfather's cobbler tools to fix shoes. At 18 he moved to Chicago to work for a shoe retailer where he noticed that customers complained of the same foot maladies. He then began taking night classes at the Illinois Medical School, graduating in 1904 as a podiatrist. After designing and gaining a patent for a mechanical arch support in 1904 called the Foot-Eazer, in 1906 he started his own company. A master of innovative marketing, William M. Scholl died in 1968 at the age of 86, with over 1000 patented foot care products to his name.
