James Alexander Dewar (February 5, 1897 – June 30, 1985) was an American inventor of the Twinkie. ==Biography== James was born on February 5, 1897 in Cook County, Illinois. Dewar worked at the Continental Baking Company, which later through a series of mergers and acquisitions became Hostess Brands. He started as a delivery boy in 1920 by delivering pastries by horse-drawn cart. Dewar eventually rose up through the ranks to be a plant manager. In 1931, Dewar's plant was making strawberry shortcakes but only during strawberry season. Dewar came up with an idea to create a shortcake with cream on the inside instead of strawberries. Having seen a billboard for a shoe company called the "Twinkle Toe Shoe Co." he was inspired to call his shortcake invention a "Twinkie". Dewar rose to be regional vice-president at Hostess and held that position until 1972. Dewar died on June 30, 1985 in Downers Grove, Illinois, at the age of 88. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Dewar (baker)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
