==Early years==
Louis Andrew Bettcher, Jr. was born May 7, 1914 in Electra, Texas. His father, Louis A. Bettcher, Sr., who died when Louis was 8 years old, was a Church of Christ preacher who had studied engineering before switching to the ministry.〔"Louis Bettcher's Formula for Success" ''The Journal'' (Lorain, Ohio), May 4, 1969, p. B-3〕 His mother, Cora Lee Hall Bettcher, who lived to the age of 93, was a school teacher and lecturer. From the age of eight through his high school years, he was raised in the town of Elyria, Ohio.
He worked on truck farms doing general farming, butchering and blacksmithing until he graduated from high school in 1931. In 1932, Bettcher hitchhiked to the state of Arizona where he worked as a cowboy. He was also a woodcutter, a hard rock miner, and a laborer building mule trains used at the Grand Canyon.
Returning to Elyria in 1936, Bettcher was employed as an apprentice tool and die maker. He also started taking night courses at Fenn College (now Cleveland State University). During 12 years of night school, he studied machine tool design, metallurgy and business. Throughout his life, he had a fascination with how things work and how they could work better, which led him to design, engineer and manufacture machinery and tools that became commercial successes. In a 1988 newspaper interview, Bettcher stated, “Even as a child, everyone called me an inventor.” 〔"He Shares Success with Community" ''Chronicle-Telegram'' (Elyria, Ohio), June 19, 1988, p. B-1〕
