We take on chores and get them done—day in and day out. What began more than 100 years ago is still going strong today. A brand born of two hard-working, determined inventors who pioneered the creation of household appliances that we use every day. 192 </p> 193 <p class="sub"> 194 Their persistence helped trigger the multi-billion dollar electric appliance industry that we know today. 195 </p> 196 </div> 197 198 <div id="imgCol" class="hideat480 floatLeft"> 199 200 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_1.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" /> 201 202 <br /> 203 204 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_2.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" /> 205 206 <br /> 207 208 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_3.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" /> 209 210 </div> 211 212 <div id="textCol" class="floatLeft"> 213 214 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_1.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" class="showat480" /> 215 216 <p>In 1903, Earl Richardson, a meter reader and plant superintendent for an electric power company in Ontario, California, developed a small, light-weight version of the heavy, cumbersome electric iron first patented in 1882. Richardson's invention was eventually named Hotpoint, after the heating elements that converged in the iron's tip, allowing it to be used to press around buttonholes and in and around ruffles and pleats on clothing and curtains.</p> 217 218 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_2.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" class="showat480" /> 219 220 <p>Meanwhile, George A. Hughes, a 33-year-old former journalist from Iowa, was experimenting with the first electric range. The model was crude, with simple heating element wires set in clay bricks that burned out after only a few hours of use. After a few years of trial and error, Hughes created the electric range what would revolutionize the way we cook in our home kitchens. </p> 221 222 <img src="/images/graphic_hotpoint_history_3.jpg" alt="Hotpoint History" title="Hotpoint History" class="showat480" /> 223 224 <p>In 1918, Richardson and Hughes joined forces, merging their companies with the General Electric Company, and creating the Hotpoint brand of appliances. Throughout the remainder of the decade, Hotpoint launched many appliance industry firsts:</p> 225 226 <ul> 227 228 <li><strong>1924</strong>: First all-white, fully enameled electric range.</li> 229 230 <li><strong>1950</strong>: First electric "moistureless" clothes dryer.</li> 231 232 <li><strong>1953</strong>: First refrigerator on wheels, designed to make it easier to clean behind the refrigerator.</li> 233 234 <li><strong>1961</strong>: First 90 Day Replacement Guarantee of Satisfaction allowing any customer who is not satisfied with the performance of a Hotpoint appliance to replace it with a comparable model.</li> 235 236 <li><strong>1965</strong>: First low-speed agitation clothes washer, making it possible to machine wash clothing such as delicate lingerie, synthetics and cashmere sweaters which previously had to be washed by hand.</li> 237 238 </ul> 239 240 </div> 241 242 </div> 243 </div> 244 </div>
