| 4/4/1931 | Andre Michelin, the French industrialist, dies aged 78. With his younger brother, Edouard, he founded the Michelin Tyre Company in Clermont-Ferrand in 1889. In order to speed up flat tyre repair, which took almost three hours, he invented “detachable tyres” so there was no need for them to be glued to the rim but to hold it with clamps. In 1894, during the Universal and Colonial Exposition in Lyon, a stack of tires suggested to Edouard the figure of a man and Andre assigned to Marius Rossillon, popularly known as O’ Galop, to create “Bibendum”, the Michelin Man, one of the world’s oldest trademarks and his name was taken from Horace’s Odes (book I, ode XXXVII, line 1). In 1900, Andre published the “Michelin Guide” to promote tourism by car thereby supporting his tyre manufacturing operation. |
