Dirt Devil
For over a century, Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners have helped American homes stay clean. Philip Geier invented the product in Cleveland, Ohio in 1905. The company’s product range has grown with more than 25 million units sold, which can be accredited to the unique Cyclone system. Despite their headquarters being based in North Carolina, the company is currently owned by a Chinese company called Techtronic Industries. The same company also bought Hoover years ago.
Good Humor
Good Humor ice cream has a special place in the heart of Baby Boomers. The company has been around for over a century now and is famous for its ice cream trucks. The company was launched in Ohio in the ‘20s. Forty years later, Thomas J. Lipton of Unilever bought the company in 1961. Despite Lipton operating the United States Division of the British-Dutch company, there is no denying that things have only gone better for Good Humor.
