A little bit of ceiling fan history: Ceiling fans have been around since the
late 1800's. Hunter being the first manufacturer. Before the 1970s, ceiling
fans were more common in the industry. It wasn't until the 1970s when
ceiling fans became big on the market. Casablanca, the famous American fan
company started it all, from restaurants to hotels, to the household
family. By the late 1970s, many Asian importers started to distribute fans to
the United States and Canada. Moss being the number one importer to market Asian made
ceiling fans to the USA. S.M.C., TAT, Evergo, and Union were the biggest Asian manufacturers, which had
their headquarters in the United States as well. By the early 1980s imported
ceiling fans started to fly off the shelves of department and hardware
stores
like hot cakes. By the mid 1980s over 50% of households in America had
ceiling fans installed. |
