Luther Irvin "Rep" Replogle was a businessman, diplomat, and philanthropist, and the founder of Replogle Globes.
When he was five, his family moved to Altoona, Pennsylvania. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis for 2½ years, starting in 1920.
About a decade later, he founded Replogle Globes in 1930, which became the largest globe manufacturing business in the world in the mid-20th century. He sold the company in 1959 but continued as President and Chief Operating Officer. Ten years after that, he served as the U.S. Ambassador to Iceland from 1969 to 1972 before dying in Chicago in 1981.
