<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">The
four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and
Developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the
Temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.<o></o></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">The
four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's Office and sweet-talked
his secretary into telling him that four Gentlemen were there with the
most exciting innovation in the auto Industry since the electric
starter.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">Henry
was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead
Asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">They
persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned
on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">The
old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he
offered them $3 million for the patent.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">The
brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they
wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,<wbr>'
on the dashboard of each car in which it was Installed.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">Now
old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Semitic, and there was no
way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">They
haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4
Million and that just their first names would be shown.<o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;"><o></o></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: black;">And
so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show -- Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max
--on the controls.</span></p>
