INVENTIONS

 THE CREDIT CARD

It was invented by Alfred Bloomingdale and Frank McNamara in 1950 in America.
This two men were eating in a restaurant. When they finished and they had to pay, they didn't have enough money in their wallets.
McNamara had to call his wife to bring him money.
After this embarrased situation they decided to create an invention.
Now people use it everyday for paying easily and for taking their money everywhere.
