Cool Legacy to All America A moment of tribute is in order this month to the memory of the man who succeeded, 59 years ago, in doing something about the weather—Willis Carrier. Dr. Carrier completed a drawing of the first air con ditioning system on July 17, 1902, and that date is now recognized by the industry as the birthday of made to order climate. Thh first air conditioner was installed in a Brooklyn, N.Y., printing plant. Its primary function was to control temperature and humidity so that paper would not ex pand and contract and cause faulty printing. Since then, air conditioning has become essential to the manufacture of scores of other products, including chemicals, textiles, drugs and even breakfast cereals. Air conditioning has also become an everyday ex perience for millions of Americans. In the next 24 hours, more than six million persons will work in air condi tioned offices, some 50 million will shop in air condition ed stores and nearly 35 million will dine in air condition ed restaurants. In recent years, improvements in products and reduc tions in cost have brought some form of air conditioning within reach of almost all homeowners. A room air con ditioner, for example, cost $500 in 1936. Some models now can be purchased for less than $200. And in many eases, central cooling equipment can be installed in homes for less than $1000. Today, well over a million non-apartment homes have central air conditioning, compared to a quarter of a mil lion five years ago and only 7,000 ten years ago. By 1970, industry forecasts indicate, three out of every four new homes built will be centrally air conditioned. Before his death in 1950, Dr. Carrier often predicted the day was coming when central cooling would be just as common as central heating. It now appears that day is just about here. r DIAMONDS EASY TERMS! Paulus Jewelry 127 Main Street TV & Radio REPAIR HERB COX WANT TO HAVE 52 EXTRA VACATION DAYS WITHIN THIS YEAR?
