About this product

Product Information

The aluminum and cookware industries in Washington County were main employers during the 20th century. Manufacturing competitors West Bend Aluminum Company and Kewaskum Aluminum Company (later Regal Ware, Inc.) began production early in the 20th century only eight miles apart. These company histories, while interesting in themselves, would be remiss without discussion of broader influences. Both companies had a substantial effect on American consumerism, women s social roles, and industrial design. Today the West Bend Company and Regal Ware, Inc., are two of the best-known makers of cookware and small appliances around the world. Their ability to survive economic depression, war, and changing times are three reasons for their success and make them excellent examples of the American dream come to life. With deep roots in Washington County, they were able to spread wide nets and capture loyalty around the globe."

  • Images of America series serves history well

    The book, like many that I have obtained for historical research projects related to museum displays or programs that I provide, is very well done. I find the Images of America series to be useful in providing basics about otherwise obscure locales. This particular item shed light on the "Hartford" plant of the West Bend Aluminum co., which produced both my father's 1946 Elgin outboard motor and later my 1979 Chrysler outboard, as well. Both are currently in a small engine display at a historical preservation museum, along with the book, as a reference for these brands. Although this review is not about the seller, I must add that I usually obtain books from the series quite handily from him.
