Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration

Heatcraft will be celebrating Black History Month with a series of posts that highlight African-American contributions to manufacturing, agriculture, and more. Our first highlight is on Charles Richard Patterson. Patterson started a carriage-building business with business partner JP Lowe. JP Lowe was bought out by Patterson and the company became known as CR Patterson and Sons Company. The company built 28 types of horse drawn vehicles. After Patterson's death in 1910, his son Frederick took over the business, turning it into one of America's first automobile businesses. #blackhistorymonth
