A Simple Start: Spilled Sawdust...
In 1876, Melville R. Bissell and his wife, Anna, were running a small crockery shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Sick of constantly cleaning sawdust off the shop's carpet, Melville invented and patented a one-of-a-kind sweeper. It didn't take long for friends and customers at the shop to ask about buying the sweeper, and when they did, a new business was born.
簡單的開端：散落的鋸屑… 1876年，梅爾維爾·R·比塞爾（Melville R. Bissell）和妻子安娜（Anna）在密西根州大急流城經營一家小型陶器店。由於厭倦了不斷清理店裡地毯上的鋸末，梅爾維爾發明了一種獨一無二的清掃器，並為其申請了專利。沒多久，店裡的朋友和顧客便紛紛詢問購買這款清掃器的事宜，而隨著這些需求的出現，一項新的事業也就此誕生了。
CLASSICAL MUSIC MONTH.
Classical Music Month in September recognizes the study and beauty of classical music. Classical music falls into a category much different from today's standards. However, classical music ultimately led to the music we create today. When people think of classical music, they often consider it to come from one period or era when great composers created lasting works. However, classical music is more than just one large period of time and is broken into different smaller periods, each having its own differences. It is interesting to see just how much music has changed over time!
古典音樂月。九月的「古典音樂月」旨在頌揚古典音樂的研習與藝術之美。古典音樂的範疇與現今音樂的標準截然不同，但它卻是現代音樂創作的源頭。當人們提到古典音樂時，往往會將其視為某一個特定時代的產物──也就是那些偉大作曲家創作出傳世之作的時期。然而，古典音樂並非僅涵蓋單一的歷史階段，而是細分為若干個時期，每個時期都各具特色。回望音樂隨時代變遷所經歷的巨大演變，著實令人興味盎然！
