In Pittsburgh, where Davison is headquartered, we are used to celebrating creativity 365 days a year. Known for its innovative and can-do spirit, countless innovations have been created or founded in Pittsburgh\u00a0that have improved the lives of millions, including the world’s first:\u00a0wire cable that made suspension bridges\u00a0possible, air brakes that enabled trains to stop safely, labor unions, electric lighting, public libraries, professional football, World Series, banana split, movie theater, radio broadcast, road map, EMT program, modern environmental movement, clean air legislation, polio vaccine, and the Big Mac, to name just a few!<\/p>\n
