- Shopping Cart?
  We invented it.
  
  In 1937, a brainstorming session between Marlin Steel’s Kaspar Wire Works’s Arthur Kaspar and Perry Warmath resulted in the invention of the shopping cart. Their development was a direct response to a conversation between Perry and his wife, where she commented that carrying a basket full of groceries was an “arm-breaking” task. After an hour of scratch-pad sketching, the two men determined the final design of the first-ever shopping cart, titled “Basket Carrier.”
