Venetian blinds inventor sparks industry revolution
Charles D. Walker, once in Monroe, now in San Francisco, unveiled a snap fastener for Venetian blind slats at Cincinnati’s national convention. The design lets homeowners remove and wash slats easily, prompting strong dealer interest and licenses to 43 manufacturers across 10 states. Walker invested 7000 dollars in patents and travel, while his partners run a two million dollar yearly business with 40000 in royalties. The blind industry, worth around 200 million dollars annually, may shift heavily toward flat snap types as it grows. A separate sale of a rubber cord stop added 3000 dollars to the record.
