I was so enthused about the cart and the advertising we had put around the cart being put on the market,&#8221; Goldman told CBS television reporter Charles Kuralt in a 1977 interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I went down to the store the next morning about 10 o\u2019clock expecting to see people standing in line outside the store trying to get in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was met not by crowds but by utter disappointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I got there, there was ample room for me to get in. There were people shopping and not a one was using the cart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Undaunted, Goldman turned to some classic marketing magic. He hired women of various ages to walk around near the entrance of each store, pretending to be shopping with their carts.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shills!&#8221; cracked Kuralt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s right. Exactly what it was,&#8221; Goldman replied, smiling broadly and nodding his head. &#8220;When they&#8217;d seen the ones that were walking around using them, they started using them. And immediately it became a huge success.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sylvan Goldman died on Nov. 25, 1984 in Oklahoma City.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His wife of 53 years, Margaret Katz Goldman, died only a week earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Goldman&#8217;s shopping cart invention has been described by his biographer and others as the greatest development in the history of merchandising,&#8221; The Oklahoman wrote in its obituary the following day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Goldman used the fortune he amassed from the cart and from a retail food chain to launch a vast business empire that includes savings and loan, banking, insurance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/real-estate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">real estate development shopping centers<\/a>, office buildings, hotels and thousands of acres of property across the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Oklahoma Country Historical Society has an award named in his honor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He gifted the Oklahoma Blood Institute $1.5 million, which honors him with their lifesaving work today at the Sylvan N.
