The Rival Company is a leading manufacturer and marketer of small household and personal care appliances, as well as commercial and industrial fans and ventilation equipment.
Rival was founded by Henry J. Talge in 1932. Rival's first product was a manual citrus juicer, called the Juice-O-Mat.
By 1945, Talge's son, Foster L. Talge, was general manager of the company at the young age of 34, and within four years he was president of the firm. Foster Talge expanded the product line, offering three types of wall can opens, five types of juicers, seven types of broilers, and two styles of ice crushers.
In 1948, the company made its first major acquisition, purchasing Waverly Products, Inc., makers of the "Steam-O-Matic" irons. Until then, the company had been producing 1,000 irons a day.
