Introduction
Frank Thomas Stack (August 26, 1891 – October 21, 1956) was a four-term Democratic mayor of Norwalk, Connecticut from 1935 to 1943.
Biography
He was born on August 26, 1891 in Manhattan, New York City to Theresa and Thomas Stack.
He was a plant supervisor at the Hat Corporation of America. He also owned the Stack Hats Company. In response to the Cavanagh Edge, a method of creating a firm edge on hats, Stack invented a two-piece iron that forced the felt along the edge of a hat brim into a groove during the ironing process, thereby creating a beaded edge during the finishing process.
He died on October 21, 1956 in Norwalk, Connecticut. He was buried in Riverside Cemetery in Norwalk, Connecticut.
