Fangate may be a hot topic now, but Vornado has long played a role in the lives of politicians - as we'll explore in this pictorial series "Fans Throughout History" #Fangate
Abraham Lincoln once noted to a Journalist that "A house devoid of quality air circulation, I cannot stand."
This recently discovered photograph reveals that the famously "Rough Riding" Theodore Roosevelt had a proclivity for the comfort of his Vornado. Historians had previously believed Teddy's hat was just kind of weird.
A man, a fan, a plan, a canal - Panama!
Supposedly this is our 19th President, but nobody really remembers him for anything. However, he evidently owned a Vornado.
After a notoriously unsuccessful attempt to cool off in a bathtub, Taft was quoted as saying "Screw this bath tub crap, I'm getting a Vornado."
There were actually two debates between Richard Nixon and John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Nixon bet Kennedy five bucks that a glass of water was better than a Vornado at keeping you cool. We all know who won that bet. Pay up, Dick.
