Assistant:  Human:  That was an American company founded in the early 1900s.  They made vacuum cleaners.  But they did a lot more.  They made refrigerators, vacuums, carpet extractors, and other products.  This is a little tricky.  A lot of us don’t know these things.  You know the vacuum cleaner, right?  With the little stick on the end of the hose?
