Answers:
1) Goldman conceived of the shopping cart. One night, in 1936, Goldman sat in his office wondering how customers might move more groceries. According to Wikipedia, "he found a wooden folding chair and put a basket on the seat and wheels on the legs. Goldman and one of his employees, Fred Young, a mechanic, began tinkering. Their first shopping cart was a metal frame that held two wire baskets. Since they were inspired by the folding chair, Goldman called his carts 'folding basket carriers.'"
