Pull up a TV dinner, discover 15 vital Nebraska inventions

Round baler

The invention of the round baler is credited to the Luebben family of Sutton, with the patent issued in the early 1900s. This advertisement of Ummo Luebben circulated in 1909 and mentions a Beatrice manufacturer of the invention.

Midwest Messenger

Kool-Aid

Edwin E. Perkins, who walked 3 miles to school as a child, began mixing up potential products in his mother's Hendley kitchen at age 12 or 13. Perkins sold a number of products, including a tobacco habit remedy, and moved with his wife to Hastings in 1920. In 1927, Perkins mixed up the first packet of what would become Kool-Aid.

Vise Grip

Vise Grip locking pliers, developed by Danish immigrant William Petersen and patented in 1924, took a strong hold on the small town of DeWitt. Petersen began production at his blacksmith shop, but by 1928 the company he founded had more than 600 employees.

The metal tools were popular additions to toolboxes because they allowed a craftsman to grab a nut or a bolt and hold onto it, leaving his hands free. In 2002 the company was sold by remaining family members, and it closed its doors in 2008. Vise-Grips, although not made in DeWitt anymore, are still sold in almost every hardware store.

Dorothy Lynch dressing

Among the now nationally famous brands and inventions from Nebraska is Dorothy Lynch’s salad dressing, which owes its invention to the eponymous Dorothy and the American Legion Club in St. Paul, Nebraska, nearly 75 years ago.

Car rentals

Appropriately located in a former horse stable, the Ford Livery Company at 1314 Howard St. in Omaha was America's first car rental company, dreamed up in 1916 by Joe Saunders. He and his brothers expanded their company, later renamed Saunders Drive It Yourself System, to 56 cities by 1926. They sold to Avis in 1955.

Reuben sandwich

From historian Jim McKee: The Reuben sandwich is often claimed by the Schimmel's Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, but other sources are New York City grocer/delicatessen owner Arnold (Arthur) Reuben or Reuben Kolakofsky, whose Reuben sandwiches supposedly dated from 1914. Blackstone did develop butter brickle ice cream.

911

Cary Steele checks one of his seven computer monitors while taking a 911 call in 2014 at the Lincoln Emergency Communications Center. 

Although the system was first used in Alabama, Lincoln is credited as the home of the 911 system's invention.

MATT RYERSON/Journal Star file photo

Eskimo Pie

Inspiration for the chocolate-coated ice cream bar came from a candy store in Onawa, Iowa, in 1920. But it wasn’t until owner and creator Christian Kent Nelson took his invention to a Nebraska chocolatier named Russell Stover that the Eskimo Pie went into mass production. Many variations of the delicious treat are available in grocery and convenience stores worldwide.

Railroad engineer invented the ski lift -- in Nebraska

Union Pacific Railroad mechanical engineering employees determine a comfortable speed at which the world's first ski chairlift should operate during a test at the railroad's Omaha railcar and locomotive repair shop complex in the summer of 1936. 

COURTESY UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD

The next time you sit on a ski lift on the way to the top of a mountain, think of bananas and the Union Pacific Railroad.

Credit them with the modern-day chairlift system used by ski resorts around the globe.

It's the summer of 1936, in Omaha, as the world's first snow ski chairlift is ready for a round of testing to determine a comfortable speed for snow skiers to get on and off the lift. The world's first two first snow ski chairlifts were debuted by Union Pacific Railroad at the opening of its Sun Valley, Idaho ski resort in December 1936. (Courtesy Union Pacific Railroad)

In 1896, 17-year-old Carl A. Swanson borrowed enough money from his sisters to travel from his native Sweden to Omaha. Without knowing a word of English, he began working on a farm near Wahoo, then moved to Omaha, where he continued studying English, business and accounting.

While working in a grocery store, he met John Hjerpe, who sold produce for farmers on a commission, and in 1898 went to work for him. After saving $125, Swanson put his nest egg into a partnership with Hjerpe and Frank Ellison for a net capital of $456.

SAFER barrier a key player in motorsports safety

CliffsNotes

CliffsNotes study guide for "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Before the Internet and Wikipedia, the distinctive yellow-and-black covers of CliffsNotes adorned the bookshelves of many a college and high school student. The series of study guides (which are not to be used as a substitute for reading the actual text, OK?) was launched in Lincoln by Cliff Hillegass and his wife Catherine. From the original 16 Shakespeare titles, CliffsNotes has grown to include hundreds of works and has saved many a student.

Crete woman invented today's voting booths

The canvas-draped voting booth is still produced in Crete by the Douglas Manufacturing Company. Found in its voting materials catalogue, the booth remains in use in hundreds, if not thousands, of locations across the U.S.

Nebraska history shows many inventions have originated in the Cornhusker state, some by women and a few that have lasted for more than a century.

One of them that is often overlooked began with a promise and came to be after a dream by a Crete woman.

Nebraska's connection to the McRib

Dr. Roger Mandigo, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor of animal science poses with a McRib sandwich inside a meat locker at the UNL Animal Science Complex on Thursday, November 4th, 2010. Mandigo invented a process to bind meat together into different shapes. The technology is often associated with the famous McRib sandwich.

Harold Edgerton made the invisible visible

A bullet from a .22 caliber gun starts to burst from the side of a balloon held by Harold E. Edgerton in his Stroboscopic Light Laboratory at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., in 1959. An electronic photo flash invented by Edgerton stopped the motion of the bullet with a minuscule-of-a-second flash. Flash and camera were operated by sound of explosion picked up by microphone just below the balloon. 

J. WALTER GREEN/The Associated Press

Virtually no one, anywhere in the world, is unfamiliar with the iconic photos of a drop of milk above a white haloed crown just as the previous drop hits a flat surface, or a bullet as it exits a just-pierced apple. Few outside the state, however, realize that Harold Edgerton is a native son and graduate of the University of Nebraska.

Harold Eugene Edgerton was born in Fremont on April 6, 1903. Harold’s father, Frank, was born in Iowa, then graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1900 as president of his senior class. After teaching in the Fremont public schools, he returned to Lincoln on the staff of the then-new Lincoln Star. After earning a law degree from George Washington University, Frank again returned to Lincoln in 1911, becoming the assistant attorney general of Nebraska and prominent in state politics before becoming county attorney in Hamilton County.
