TOWER 345282 Sandwich Toaster User Manual

TOWER 345282 Sandwich Toaster

• 1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St. Marie’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street, which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower brand name.
• 1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can see from the original poster, their stand No. A410 must have been a great sight as it promoted their “Beautiful, inexpensive, unmissable Plate, at prices all can afford to pay”.
• 1961 Tower became one of the largest manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric kettles, teapots, and other household articles with over 1,000 employees.
• 1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the expanding Tower brand.
