On This Day in History...

Today is "Presidents' Day." It is also "Family Day." So, when is "Presidents' Family Day" and do we get the day off from work?

1798: First mustard manufactured in America is advertised; some believe its slogan "Revolutionary Taste!" may have inspired Founding Fathers.

1903: Morris and Rose Michtom introduce the first Teddy Bear in the U.S.; namesake Teddy Roosevelt declares it to be, "Bully," then shoots it.

1941: Duke Ellington records Take the A Train; string section arrives late due to subway delays.
