Although the company is named after Fred Waring, a popular entertainer of the 1930's, 40's and 50's, Waring did not actually invent the blender. He did, however, perfect the original version and introduce this version to retailers and consumers-which ultimately became a big success. Waring history has it that in 1936 Fred Waring had just finished a radio broadcast in New York's Vanderbilt Theater when Fred Osius, dressed in outlandish striped pants, a cutaway coat and a bright lemon-yellow tie, approached the entertainer with his latest invention. Osius was looking for someone to finance a new mixer that would "revolutionize people's eating habits."
Waring was intrigued with the concept of a mixer such as the one Osius described, and he agreed to back the new product, even when the prototype failed to work the first time. Six months and $25,000 later, the prototype still didn't work. However, Waring remained enthusiastic and with his support, the engineering and production problems were solved in time to introduce the new "Miracle Mixer" (as it was then called) at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago in 1937.
Thanks to Waring's own promotion of the blender on the radio and through a singing group aptly named "The Waring Blendors," the blender became a permanent fixture in restaurants and bars. It wasn't long before consumers decided that they needed blenders in their kitchens as well; ultimately, department and specialty store sales increased and the blender became a household appliance for home chefs.
Fredrick Malcolm Waring (Tyrone, Pennsylvania, June 9, 1900 – July 29, 1984 in State College, Pennsylvania) was a popular musician, bandleader, and radio and TV personality, sometimes referred to as "the man who taught America how to sing." He was also a financial backer and namesake of the Waring Blender, a kitchen appliance. The Waring Blender was the first modern electric blender on the market.
In the 1930s, inventor Frederick Jacob Osius went to Waring for financial backing for an electric blender he had patented.(I'm not sure how to cite it, but the Osius patent (#2,109,501) was awarded March 1, 1938 and filed March 13, 1937.) Canadian Patent #383356, 'Drink Mixer' was issued Aug 15, 1939. Some $25,000 later, the "Miracle Mixer" debuted in 1937 at a Chicago trade show, with a retail price of $29.75. The following year, the name was changed to Waring Blender.The mixers became an essential appliance for every "modern kitchen."It was said that Waring blenders were used by Jonas Salk for developing his polio vaccine.
