One Last Coffee & Bagel

T
wo Jewish entrepreneurs with
a flare for sensing the chang-
ing tastes of the American
consumer, and whose products likely
often were used at the same tables, died
within 10 days of each other.
Samuel Glazer, who co-founded the
company that developed electric drip
coffee maker, Mr. Coffee, died March 12,
2012, in Cleveland at age 89.
Murray Lender, who helped main-
stream bagels by creating frozen ver-
sions that were sold in supermarkets
nationwide, died March 21 at age 81.
According to the New York Times, Mr.
Coffee, which was introduced in 1972
caught on quickly, and its parent com-
pany sold more than 1 million coffee
makers in three years. Mr. Coffee held
half of the market for years, spurred by
the visible presence of New York Yankee
hero Joe DiMaggio as the company's
spokesman.
Glazer and his partner sold their corn-

Murray Lender
pany for $82 million in 1987. Glazer was
born in Cleveland and lived there until
his death.
NBC said that Murray Lender had
"such a passion" for frozen food that
he established and co-chaired the first
National Frozen Food Month in March
of 1984.
It may have been coincidental, but
obituaries of each man mentioned their
connection to Johnny Carson, onetime
host of the iconic Tonight Show on NBC
for decades.
Glazer became friends with Carson
and regularly gave him Mr. Coffee
machines as Christmas presents.
Lender once made a "life-sized" bagel
on Carson's Tonight Show ❑
