Burr Giffen was a young commercial artist employed by Fisk Tire Company. In 1907, he sketched what would become their most famous advertising icon; a yawning, pajama-clad youngster. Modeled after 3-year-old Teddy Nelson, the image was a quirky one; the subject barely balanced a candlestick in one hand, and shouldered a passenger car tire opposite.
