	Bakelite History
		Bakelite is a sort of plastic material which was invented by the Belgian Leo Beakeland (1863 - 1944). Leo Beakeland went to the USA as an immigrant in 1889. He understood that the USA was a better country to make a career than Belgium.
		The end on the patent on Bakelite was only one of the factors which contributed to the success of Bakelite and other plastics in consumer goods during the 1920s and 1930s.
		Bakelite and other kinds of plastics were made for this task, they were cheap, became attractive substitutes for traditional materials, needed less hand labour than other materials and were beautiful as well.
