Dirt Devil

Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners have been keeping American homes clean for more than a century. Philip Geier from Cleveland, Ohio, created the item in 1905. Since then, the product line has grown significantly, with over 25 million units sold worldwide. This is largely due to the Cyclone system’s singularity. Techtronic Industries, a Chinese conglomerate, owns the corporation outright, despite the fact that its headquarters remain in North Carolina. Hoover was acquired by Dirt Devil a few years ago, and now it owns both of these household appliance brands. That the HK-based corporation has improved its appliance investment portfolio is certain!

Good Humor

It’s no secret that Good Humor ice cream is a personal favorite of baby boomers. There have been ice cream trucks from this company for over a century. When it was first introduced to Ohio back in the 1920s, it was a huge success. Unilever’s Thomas J. Lipton purchased the business in 1961. It’s hard to deny that since Lipton took over the British-Dutch company’s US subsidiary, things have gotten better for Good Humor. Since then, the company’s product line has grown to include more and more items, and it continues to maintain a loyal following among consumers throughout the country.
