>> [MUSIC] On April 21st, 1988,
Our-Way Incorporated celebrated its 40th anniversary
at its headquarters in Tucker,
Georgia, and what an anniversary it was.
Our-Way felt it was
important to share the celebration with
friends and associates it had
developed over its 40 years,
and made special arrangements to
pick up some of its important guests.
[MUSIC]
There was Harvey Goldstein from Carrier,
Bob Novello, Ralph Brush,
and Dean Ruhi from Copland.
On their arrival at headquarters,
they were greeted by Jack Morgan and Bernie Dombrowski.
Bobbie Bailey, president and CEO,
immediately made the guests feel welcome.
Audrey Morgan, executive vice president,
showed the guests Our-Way's hospitality.
And Jack Morgan,
Vice President and General Manager,
showed some of the guests Our-Way's early beginnings.
[MUSIC] It all began back in 1948,
and Bobbie Bailey was one of the original six employees.
Soon thereafter, Bobbie would
become sole owner of the company,
a company that has since become
the world's largest independent remanufacturer
of commercial air conditioning
and refrigeration compressors.
And from those early beginnings to today,
Our-Way's philosophy of doing
business has remained unchanged.
Your way, the customers standards,
plus my way, the company's standards equal Our-Way.
Their corporate friends were treated to
a video presentation on
the company's remanufacturing capabilities.
Following Reverend Sosebee's invocation,
the luncheon began, and
Our-Way's guests were soon enjoying the sumptuous buffet.
After lunch, Audrey Morgan
officially welcomed its corporate friends.
>> On behalf of everyone at Our-Way,
we want to welcome you to Our-Way and to
the celebration of our 40th anniversary.
Fortieth anniversary is quite a milestone.
And in celebrating this milestone,
we wanted to celebrate it with
the groups who have contributed to our success,
the groups whose loyalty and support
over the years have brought us this far.
>> A special gift of music presentation was
accepted by Jack Gerlach of DeKalb General Hospital.
Then an innovative
remanufacturing demonstration was presented.
>> Master, we have just got another request.
>> But what is it this time?
>> It's from a group of Gary Hart supporters.
They want to know if you can
rebuild the descendant. [LAUGHTER]
>> If I have told once,
I have told you a thousands times.
We do not rebuild, we remanufacture. [MUSIC]
>> Right, master, but can you do it?
>> I don't know if you got that.
I am only human. I don't know.
[NOISE] [MUSIC] Oh, my God.
Igor, didn't I tell to get it once support
his head ahead with you unbilled master, I swear.
>> Oh, God.
>> Excuse me
>> Yes, madam?
>> Is this the castle of Madame Frank-N-Furter? [MUSIC]
>> Oh, yes. Madame Frank-N-Furter,
[MUSIC] a woman of wonders.
The first Lady of fix-it-well,
the Madame of machinery,
the Rebecca of Sunnybrook Asylum,
the asylum Madame Frank-N-Furter, may I help you?
>> Yes. This is my husband,
Hubert Vega, and I'm his wife.

>> Why, yes. How in the world do you know my name?
>> Just call me gifted.
>> Well, Gifted.
>> No, Madam Gifted. [OVERLAPPING].
>> All right, Madam Gifted.
It's about Hubert here.
>> He's going out, is he? Absolutely.
>> [LAUGHTER] You know there was a time when
he was strong as an ox?
>> Really an ox?
>> Yes, an ox. Swift as a Mustang.
>> I don't believe that, really.
>> Wild, just as an owl and rabbits. [MUSIC]
>> Oh, rabbits?
>> Rabbits, every night.

>> Got up and go, hasn't it?
>> You got it.
>> I see that, yeah.
>> Tell me. Do you and you can rebuild him?
>> Igor.
>> I never said anything, master.
>> Madam Vega,
we do not rebuild, we remanufacture.
[MUSIC]
>> Remanufacture?
>> You got it, darling. Yes. You see,
how we go is we take your worn out your dated product,
and using our special process,
we make it as good if not better,
usually better. Don't you think so, Igor?
>> Yes, master.
>> Than it was originally.
In his case, reborn.
[MUSIC] No, I'm not kidding you.
No, I'm certainly not.
Now, you stand back here,
and I'm going to take him and just watch what we do.
You don't say much, do you, darling?
>> Not much to say.
>> Okey- dokey. [MUSIC].
>> Go, master.
Do it, master.
[LAUGHTER] Go, master, go. [LAUGHTER] [MUSIC]
>> Yes, darling, it's true.
Would you like to test it?
>> Yes. [LAUGHTER]
>> Not here.

>> I don't know, Igoret.
Oh, darling,
I touched the body.
It is times like this
that I am so
happy, that Igor [inaudible]
>> No way, master.
>> No, Igoret. [MUSIC] [inaudible]
>> Bobbie Bailey then thanked
all the company's friends that had
shared in Our-Way success
during its 40 years and introduced
the special entertainment, the Witsen Players.
>> I have to echo what Audrey said earlier and there's
an awful lot of people that
I have to thank today personally.
And first of all, I'd like to thank
the Copland Corporation for 28 years
of confidence and trust in
Our-Way for remanufacturing their compressors,
and to the Carrier Corporation for 20 years,
