Historical Puzzlement
It is time for the puzzlement. This is a historical puzzler this time. And no Googling this! That would be cheating.
A while back, back in the day, as they say, our incredible producer Doug Berman was studying chemistry. And at that time, we were calling him Dougie Lavoisier. Some of you might remember this. We called him this out of respect for the French chemist, Lavoisier.
Okay, so here is the puzzler.
A long time ago, there was a young French immigrant who came to America. He had studied under the great Lavoisier back in France and was now coming to America. As a brand new American now, this fellow and his family embarked upon a new business venture. This is the student of Lavoisier, whose name shall remain nameless because that is part of the puzzler! If I gave you the name, you'd know the answer to the puzzler.
Okay, they embarked on a new business based on what he learned from the great chemist, Lavoisier. This young man and his family used this information they learned in France to build a company and eventually a large conglomerate which is still in existence today. A very big company.
The puzzler is, what is the name of this company?
And here are some hints. This first hint is that it came from France. The second hint is that there are cars all over the world, to this day, that have products made by this company. Manufacturers today use many products from this company that Lavoisier helped create.
Good luck!
