Arthur Fry is an American inventor best known for co-creating the popular office supply product, the Post-it Note. He developed this sticky note in the late 1970s while working at 3M, a company renowned for its innovative products. Fry's idea came from a failed adhesive created by his colleague, Spencer Silver, which he repurposed to create a note that could stick to surfaces without leaving residue.
Fry's invention revolutionized the way people organize and communicate in both personal and professional settings. The Post-it Note became a staple in offices and homes worldwide, leading to a variety of colors and sizes. Today, Fry is recognized for his contributions to office supplies and creativity in problem-solving.
