notes: label: Description
content: In 1918, the Arnold Electric Co., in Racine, Wi., asked Stephen J. Poplawski (1885-1956), an immigrant from Poland, Wi., to develop a blender suitable for making malts and milkshakes. In 1932, Poplawski patented another blender that could handle fruits and vegetables. Fred Osius improved Poplawski’s design in 1933, and obtained backing from Fred Waring, the musician, for the “Miracle Mixer.” Waring introduced the Waring Blender to the market in 1937. By 1955, Waring Products Co. had become a division of Dynamics Corp. of America.
