who started the Levi Strauss Company?

In late 1870 Jacob Davis, a Reno, Nevada tailor, started making men's work pants with metal rivets at points of strain for greater strength. He wanted to patent the process but needed a business partner, so he turned to Levi Strauss, from whom he purchased some of his fabric. [3] On May 20, 1873, Strauss and Davis received United States patent #139121 for using copper rivets to strengthen the pockets of denim work pants. Levi Strauss & Co. began manufacturing the famous Levi's brand of jeans, using fabric from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire.
