Trivia

Nikola Bizumić, inventor of manually operated hair clipper was born in Neradin. A former barber had an idea to create clipper which would have shorten time for haircutting. Sadly, he was misunderstood by his countrymen in souch places souch as Irig and Ruma. Disillusioned, he had left to United States, where around 1860 a first hair clipper was born.

Thanks to the invention, Bizumić has gained enormous wealth. After his death, by his will the money was left to the six generations of his relatives in Neradin. Unfortunately, by the fault of administrative services of the Syrmia at the time, they have never received the money.
