Laroy Sunderland Starrett was a businessman and inventor. He founded the L. S. Starrett Company in Athol, Massachusetts and held about 100 patents for various inventions. He was very successful at farming, and was always tinkering with new tools and new techniques. Starrett's first invention was a meat chopping machine that he called the Hasher. After his success with this invention, he left farming behind and turned to the world of business.
