Electric Fan Manufacturer
The electric fan market is expected to grow at a significant rate, thanks to several factors. These include the increased use of fans in residential homes, increasing awareness about climate change, and growing demand for industrial-sized fans.
In January of 1916 Diehl sold the factory and tools to a concern from Delaware called Woodard and Sons. They probably had bit off more than they could chew and with world war one brewing overseas markets for their fans were slipping away.
Diehl
The company was founded by Philip H. Diehl who was born in Dalsheim, Germany in 1847. He emigrated to America in 1868 and worked in various machine shops before moving to the Singer Manufacturing Company in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There he was involved with experimental work on electric incandescent lamps and electric motors for sewing machines. Diehl also developed a ceiling fan and patented it in 1889. He also patented a series of electric incandescent lights to attach to the ceiling fan.
In 1912 Diehl began making fans with die cast frames. They also developed their own AC motors at this time. The 1914 year end ledgers show they were not doing well, and all employees received a 10% pay cut.
By the early 1930’s, Diehl was producing a line of fans that were sold through Montgomery Wards electric fan manufacturer catalogues. These fans were usually ornate and designed for decorative purposes.
For his longshot campaign to succeed, Diehl needs to convince lots of independents and moderate Republicans – as well as some Democrats – to cross the political divide and vote for him. But that will be a challenge in this divisive moment. Tatishe Nteta, a political scientist at UMass Amherst, says that if Diehl wants to win the race, he will need to change his message and tone.
Roth & Eck
In 1903 Eck was granted a patent for what is referred to as the Lollipop fan, which consisted of a stick in front of the blade with a round disk on top. He never made this fan and probably sold or leased his patent to Robbins and Myers of Springfield, Ohio who continued to make lollipop fans until about 1909. Eck also had a motor patent issued in 1866 (obviously not a fan), and another in 1898. Around 1900 he introduced his first gear driven oscillating fan. He had earlier invented a ball-type swivel joint for the motor, and this allowed his fans to tilt and become bracket fans for wall mounting.
The electric fan market was booming by the late teens, and many companies were selling a wide range of fans. These fans were often quite ornate and were a great addition to any home. They were also a very popular item in the workplace, where people used them to cool their desks.
The story centers on Eck, a traveling salesman for his electric fan factory company. He investigates crimes while popping a constantly changing cocktail of pills, and attempting to bribe doctors in order to get them to prescribe his employer’s pharmaceuticals. The story is written as a series of fragments, and the reader experiences them through Eck’s drug-addled mind.
Le John
In the early 50’s Le John was a new company that had just started making fans. They were looking for opportunities to help them get established in the marketplace. One opportunity arose when they were offered a Navy fan contract. At that time submarines operated on DC power. As WWII came to an end, the Navy decided to convert over to AC on all their vessels. They needed to add bulkhead-mounted fans to their equipment. The Navy put out an RFP (Request For Proposals) and asked interested companies to submit their fans for testing and evaluation.
Carl Edmonds, a partner in the company, went up to Washington and met with Navy officers. He explained to them that his fan was going to be submitted for testing. The Navy agreed to perform rigorous tests on the fan. The result was that the Le John fan passed the test.
With a Navy contract in hand, the company set about marketing their product. They started by getting their fans to major retailers like Macy’s, Montgomery Ward and Marshall Field. They also sold them to companies that used them as premiums on their products such as Brown & Williamson Tobacco and the Pillsbury Flour Company.

The company employs a diverse workforce of more than 1,500 employees, and offers competitive salaries. The company is located in Anthony, KS.
When he was a teenager, Carl Eck started a small business in Nacka to produce electric radiators for homes. In 1916, he began manufacturing fans using an early patent of his. This fan had a gear-driven oscillator. It was a popular model and was very successful.
In 1924, the factory burned to the ground. Eck sold the remaining assets to a man named Moren. This new company was called Eliktriska Moren. The name “Eliktriska” meant that the factory was electrical in nature.
