    Recipe Introduction


    (1898 - November 27, 1984)

    List of Ingredients




    Sylvan Goldman ran a successful chain of grocery stores, where customers could carry hand baskets while they shopped. In 1936 when he was a major owner of the Piggly-Wiggly supermarket chain he invented the shopping cart. He got the idea from a wooden folding chair. He designed the cart by putting a basket on the seat, another below and wheels on the legs. He and a mechanic, Fred Young, put one
    together with a metal frame, and wire baskets. The frames could be folded up and the baskets stacked, which took up less storage room.

    "I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country ... The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America."
