Hamilton Beach Food Processor
In 1904 in a small town called Racine Wisconsin, where the US Standard Electrical Works is located. This is where for the first time that two gentlemen meet named Chester Beach and Louis L.H. Hamilton. As a child Chester Beach was raised up on a farm and had a passion for working with electrical and mechanical equipment. Louis Hamilton was hired as the advertising manager at Electrical Works company.
Chester Beach works countless of hours to make something that was going to be lightweight and have a high-speed universal motor. He created a motor with the horsepower capacity of 7,200 revolutions per minute. I know if you're thinking what I'm thinking and that is unheard of in those days but he did it. Because of Chester Beach's motor that makes Racine, Wisconsin the Small Electric Capital of the world.
In 1910 Fredrick Osius, Louis Hamilton and Chester Beach ended up leaving the Electrical Works company to start there own company. They called the new company The Hamilton Beach Manufacturing Company in Racine, Wisconsin. Now Fredrick Osius pays $1000 to Hamilton And Beach to use there names because he didn't like the way his sounded with there name.
At the new company, Fredrick Osius is in charge of sales and financing while Louis Hamilton works as the advertising director and general business manager. Chester Beach is the superintendent over the entire factory. A year later the company files for a patent on a drink mixer.
Now from that point on Hamilton Beach has had so many products throughout the years. I mean they have filled households with products upon products upon products. In 1921 Hamilton Beach made a vacuum that was less than 10 pounds and a another one that was a little heavier for commercial uses.
The next product was a food mixer and juice extractor which only came in red and green. There product line or should I say catalog had expanded largely by 1929. Products such as the food mixer, juice extractor, fans, meat grinders, floor polishers and jewelers motors. In 1941 while the wars was going on Hamilton Beach makes a specialized motor instruments for the US Military. Moving on because I can just about breakdown every year from there but I'm not, in 1990 Hamilton Beach merges with Proctor-Silex which they formed Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex Inc. The headquarters is located in Richmond, Virginia which makes the company the largest small appliances manufacturing in the United States after the merger. You see if it wasn't for the electric food mixer then there would be no Hamilton Beach Food Processor nor the grills or any line of products that has sold millions upon millions each year.
The Hamilton Beach Food Processor was created to give people an experience with foods that they normally would find difficult or either time consuming to handle. They have always had the great price along with a great product which is usually backed up with a warranty. I'm pretty sure that you've had some sort of Hamilton Beach experience in your lifetime! They have been in our homes for over a 100 years now and I don't see them slowing down no time soon.
