Lester Gaba Lester Gaba (1907 – 12 August 1987) was an American sculptor, writer and retail display designer. == Early life ==
Born in Hannibal, Missouri. His parents owned a general store, but Gaba took no interest in the shop, spending most of the time on his own, drawing. At the age of 10, he participated at a soap sculpture contest〔(Jennifer Jane Marshall: "Clean Cuts, Procter & Gamble's depression-era soap-carving contests" )〕 organised by Procter & Gamble. Although he did not win it, participating changed his life. He decided he would become a proficient soap sculptor. He went to art school in Chicago, where he spent a lot of time in Lake View, where Chicago's homosexual population congregated.〔(Leeander Scott: "Gabbing over Gaba" )〕 He found his first job at Balaban & Katz theater corporation, where he made posters. Since the art director of the company was entranced by the soap figurines Gaba made, they were readily used for magazine covers and the like. Advertising agencies seized on the technique and soon Gaba's soap carvings were adorning magazine covers as well as being marketed as a children's soap.
