Great names that are still around.
These names have lasted in our daily lives.

I was thinking the other day about early inventors of products that play a great role in our lives today. Some names live on even if the name does not control the company. Put your thinking caps on, Joeusers, and add to my list.
Robert Carrier invented the air conditioner. His name is on the best air conditioners you will find today.
Thomas Edison invented many great things--The Edison cap lightbulb is still named after him. Are there others?
We all know about A.G. Bell but does his family have a connection with today's Bell telephone company?
Otis and Schindler invented elevators. Their name still exists on lifts. Do they have a family interest today?
I think Kellogg started a huge industry in cereals. When was that? Are the Kellogs involved?
The Marconi company existed until a year or so ago. I heard they went bankrupt. Did the name go down the drain?
Please add to my list. I'd love to find out about the origins of some great inventions, and whether the brand name still exists.
