Earmuffs didn't exist yet! But during yet another long and cold Maine winter, Chester decided to do something about his freezing ears, and he designed the first pair of ear protectors (a.k.a. earmuffs) out of wire, beaver fur, and cloth. He received a patent for his design by the time he was nineteen, and within a decade the Chester Greenwood \u0026amp; Company factory was producing and shipping \"Champion Ear Protectors\" worldwide! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut that was just the beginning of Chester's career as a successful businessman and prolific inventor.
