Bio
The vast Stanley Steemer organization of today is the end result of an enterprise started by one man. A man who dreamed big, valued hard work and never feared adversity. A man named Jack Bates, who, in 1947, founded a small carpet cleaning company called Jack Bates Carpet Cleaning out of his own home in Columbus, Ohio. As the company expanded, first in Ohio and then beyond, Jack changed the name to Stanley Steemer, in reference to the first steam-driven automobile - the Stanley Steamer – which in 1906 set the world land speed record at 127.7 mph. In the 50+ years since then, Stanley Steemer has become the number one name in the industry coast-to-coast by delivering the exceptional quality work and unparalleled customer service that has been the hallmark of the company from the very beginning.

Influences
Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber on December 28, 1922) took his first job as a copyboy at what would later become Marvel Comics. During World War II, Lee enlisted in the Army and served in the Signal Corps, writing manuals, training films, slogans, and occasionally cartooning. His military classification was "playwright"; only nine men in the US Army were awarded the title. ..At the time, a decency campaign led by psychiatrist Dr. Frederic Wertham and Senator Estes Kefauver (nothing against the Germans of course) blamed comic books for corrupting young readers with images of violence and sexuality. . . Superman in panties, Batman’s live-in gay lover, you understand. Comic book companies responded by implementing strict internal regulations, and eventually adopted the stringent COMICS CODE. ..In the late 1950s, DC Comics experienced significant success with the super team Justice League of America. In response, Lee created his own team - The Fantastic Four. Its immediate popularity led Lee and Marvel's illustrators to produce a cavalcade – that’s right a cavalcade - of new titles including the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, the Mighty Thor, X-Men, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and of course Spider-Man. ..These characters helped reinvent the genre of the superhero comic. Lee gave the superhero a flawed humanity. His heroes had bad tempers, melancholy fits, vanity, greed, all the good stuff. They bickered amongst themselves, worried about paying their bills and impressing girlfriends, they even got sick and died. ..The rest is history: more and more and more comics (3.8 million readers per month), writing credit scandals, convention appearances, Hollywood cameos (hot dog vendor in X-Men, festival salesman in Spider-Man, about to cross a street with a newspaper in Daredevil, leaving a building in Hulk, pedestrian in Spider-Man 2, spiritual guru in Mallrats, himself in the Simpsons), mega-wealth, and cult stardom. ..In his later years, Stan got horny creating the risqué animated superhero series Stripperella for Spike TV, and collaborated with Hugh Hefner on a similar superhero cartoon featuring Playboy Playmates – COMICS CODE be damned.
