EMERSON CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES™ ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF ANNUAL WHITE-RODGERS® UNIVERSAL HEATING PRODUCTS PROMOTION

ST. LOUIS, July 13, 2005 – Emerson Climate Technologies, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR), today announced the winners of the third annual White-Rodgers® Universal Heating Products Promotion for wholesalers and contractors. The promotion awarded $15,000 in prizes, including gift certificates from Bass Pro Shops, the world’s leading supplier of premium outdoor gear.

Contractors were given an opportunity to win every time they purchased White-Rodgers universal heating products. More than 10,000 entries were submitted for the promotion, which ran from September 2004 through February 2005.

Butch Edwards from Edwards Metal Shop in North Carolina was awarded the grand prize in the promotion, a 14-foot Bass Tracker boat from Bass Pro Shops. Scott Brittain of C.C. Dickson Co. was awarded a $1,500 Bass Pro Shops gift certificate for selling Edwards the winning purchase.
