"Miracle Mixer"

1937 Fred Waring, a popular entertainer during the 1930s, '40s and '50s, introduces the "Miracle Mixer," the first blender in recorded history, to the American public at the National Restaurant Show. "Miracle Mixer" is officially renamed Waring Corporation and the appliance name is changed to the "Waring Blendor".

After purchasing the rights to an electric blender invented by Fred Osius during the heart of the Great Depression, Fred Waring poured $25,000 into the redesign and improvement of what he in 1938 renamed the "Waring" blender.   Waring then promoted his blender at the restaurants and hotels he visited on tour with his band.
