Milk Dud

In 1910, two Racine engineers, Charles Beach and Frederick Osius, and a master marketeer, Louis Hamilton, made household appliance history by inventing a small motor than ran on either AC or DC electrical power -- the first Great Leap Forward for plug-powered domestic machinery. Osius deployed this gem in a Hamilton Beach Mother's Little Helper -- the first portable vacuum cleaner. It joined a product line that included the Hamilton Beach Cake Mixer attachment, the Hamilton Beach Electric Fan, and the Hamilton Beach Vibrator. (Yes that kind of vibrator, vivaciously brandished by a wholesome housewife in a 1920 ad.) The company marketed its own home milkshake machine, the Single Spindle Drinkmaster, as early as 1911.

Meanwhile, Racine businessman Stephen Poplawski was frustrated with flakes -- the same ones that would mystify the preadolescent Maggie. Poplawski owned Steven's Manufacturing Company, makers of equipment for the booming soda fountain business. But even his finest milkshake machines couldn't conquer the lumps in Horlicks Malted Milk powder, already renowned as a tasty addition to the standard shake. A true son of Racine, Poplawski parsed the mechanics, speculated, tinkered and tested: what would happen if the spinning blades were mounted on the bottom of the machine? Five years before Ruth slapped sixty, he turned his core product on its head. Damn. Blades on the base beat better.

Now, in assigning credit for the invention of the blender, it might be useful to consider the roles of Leibnitz and Newton in the invention of the Calculus: though Gottfried invented it, Isaac made it sing the music of the stars. Likewise Poplawski and his mixer gone topsy. As Newton used the Calculus to take on the solar system, Osius meant to launch the blender from the lonely planet of soda shops into the universe of kitchens, bars, health food stores -- and eventually, Jonas Salk's vaccine lab. He tinkered with the design. He tailored it for the housewife. He twiddled until he had a machine sure to be snapped up by millions, and in 1933, he patented the "Famous Blending Machine," described in his application as "a disintegrating mixer for producing fluent substances."

It was a flop. Osius's passion, Hamilton's marketing, their company's sizzling track record in new product launches -- nothing could move the Famous Blending Machine off the pages of the Sears Roebuck catalog and onto kitchen counters. It had serious performance problems. And the liquid leaking out the blender's bottom wasn't good for anything -- most especially for dousing the R&D burn rate.

But Fred didn't despair, because he had a plan: enlist a few investors and a celebrity spokesman. A mere two degrees of separation -- a buddy who knew a bandleader's brother-in-law -- provided both.

• • •

Let's forsake the bright lights and catch the Twentieth Century Limited back to Racine, where we'll track the fortunes of a small company that made barber's equipment. A few years earlier, it had been pushed to the edge of bankruptcy by the War Production Board's ban on frivolous wartime clipper production. Determined to go out with bangs rather than a whimper, the company retooled -- and prospered, selling the government motors for radar installations. When peace finally prevailed, owner John Oster realized that returning GIs -- marrying in haste, playing house by the millions -- could make him richer than Uncle Sam ever would. But to leverage his vision, he needed an appliance company. In 1946, he found one right in the neighborhood -- the very Stevens Manufacturing Company where Stephen Poplawski first messed with his malted milk machine. Dreams of dollars flooding his brain, Oster ordered his engineers to scale Poplawski's invention down and spiff it up for home use. When it rolled off the line, the proud Papa had so much faith in its future that he gave the baby his name: Osterizer.

ESSAY
Blender inventor’s name isWaring with time
By Alison Osius
Special to The Denver Post
In 1936, an engineer from Racine,
Wis., put on a cutaway jacket, striped
pants, a bright blue shirt and a lemon-
yellow tie, and talked his way into
Fred Waring’s dressing room after a
big-band show in New York City.
And that interaction is what brought
you your frozen margarita.
If you thought that Fred Waring invented
the Waring Blendor (spelled
with an “o”), you are sadly remiss in
your small-appliance history.
Waitrose Food Illustrated knows
the truth, offering that “history barely
recalls (the) true champion” of the
blendor, “one Frederick Osius.”
All of which I find rather a thrill because
Fred and I have the same last
name. My sister Lucy happened to
see an article on the blender and the
Freds in a Bon Appetit magazine in a
friend’s bathroom.
I found various confirming accounts
on the Internet, and she
found something else there: someone
else with our last name in Colorado.
He lived in Loveland. One day I
picked up the phone.
Tim Osius said that Frederick was
his great-great-uncle. Tim also
knows the family genealogy, has
talked to my father’s cousins in his research,
and has traced the name
clear back to Cordova, Spain, and
one Bishop Osius, who converted
Constantine in A.D. 290.
Tim reckons that he and I are cousins
removed about 10 times.
In all fairness, I must note that it
was, in 1922, Steven Poplawski who
first placed a rotating blade in the
bottom of a container to mix the
flakes in malted milks.
The Poplawski blender was intended
only for the sweet, but small,
soda-fountain world. Osius saw the
potential to bust out into clubs, hotels
and restaurants across the land.
Among Osius’ many inventions
was, with another engineer, Chester
Beach, a small motor that could use
either AC or DC electrical power.
They and a master marketer, Louis
Hamilton, created Hamilton-Beach
Manufacturing and in 1910 used the
motor to make a hand-held vibrator
―for massaging the face, OK?―
and then hair dryers and vacuum
cleaners.
Osius was granted a patent in 1933
for his own “drink mixer,” improving
upon the Poplawski invention. He
produced it in the summer of 1936.
It had two problems, though: It
wasn’t selling (one account says it
withered on the pages of the Sears,
Roebuck catalog) and it leaked.
Although the sale of his company
in 1923 had made him wealthy, he apparently
needed a backer and a celebrity,
and saw both in bandleader
Fred Waring, who was known to be
fascinated by gizmos.
After talking his way into his own
audition, Osius set up his great invention.
It leaked.
What would you do if some guy
dressed like a clown barged in on
you and showed, asWaring’s widow,
Virginia, later wrote in her memoir,
