Frank T. Stack (1891–-1956) was a four term Democratic mayor of Norwalk, Connecticut from 1935 to 1943.[6]

He was a plant supervisor at the hat factory in Norwalk.[5] He also owned the Stack Hats Company.[4] In response to the "Cavanaugh 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.[5]
