The Hotpoint Electric Heating Company evolved from Earle Holmes Richardson's numerous inventions during his time as an Ontario Power Company employee. In 1904, Earl Richardson developed the Hotpoint iron. This was the first iron that could heat the tip, which was most practical for pressing ruffles and pleats. At one time the plant was known as the world’s largest electrical appliance manufacturer. Eventually, Hotpoint became part of General Electric. #125to125 #CelebrateOntario
