Ce texte est la traduction libre d'un extrait du livre Radios of Canada par Lloyd Swackhammer: Grimes Radio Corporation Limited / Grimes Batteryless manufacturing, rue North Victoria Kitchener, Ontario. (tel que rapporté par le collaborateur Alfred Zeeb, 21 mai 2007)
Les premières radios fabriquées par cette entreprise étaient de la série (ou marque de commerce?) Inverse Duplex. La fabrication a commencé au dernier étage de l'édifice de la rue Victoria, à Kitchener en juin 1925. En Septembre 1925, a débuté la fabrication des meubles consoles et l'installation des châssis, qui étaient fabriqués sur la rue Victoria, dans les meubles fabriqués à Elmira. C'est à ce moment-là que le nom a été changé pour Phonola Company of Canada. À l'automne de 1928, l'entreprise déménage sur la rue Breithaupt, à Kitchener (Ontario). Le nom a été changé de nouveau, et devient cette fois Dominion Electrohome Limited. Elle est aujourd'hui connue sous le nom Electrohome Industries Limited.
Dominion Electrohome s'installa plus tard dans l'ancienne usine de meubles Malcolm and Hill sur la rue Duke, à Kitchener. Cette entreprise remonte aux premiers jours de radios puisqu'elle fabriquait des boîtiers pour la société Atwater Kent Company of Canada. "Electrohome" est le nom de la marque qui figure sur les modèles de radios fabriqués en 1946-1947. Le nom a aussi été utilisé pendant un certain temps sur leurs appareils ménagers. Electrohome a fabriqué des radios pour bien d'autres entreprises, ainsi que pour leurs propres détaillants. Cela a ajouté plusieurs marques de commerce dans l'industrie de la radio canadienne. La marque «Viking» était faite pour la chaîne de magasins à rayons Eaton, "Serenader" pour les magsins Simpsons, "Dictator" pour la Hudson Bay Company, "Arcadia" pour McLeod (dans l'Ouest canadien), "Munro" dans les Maritimes, et bien d'autres. Il y avait aussi d'autres marques de radios pour des distributeurs et des détaillants dont les noms n'ont malheureusement été perdus avec le passage du temps. |

The following is an excerpt from Radios of Canada by Lloyd Swackhammer: Grimes Radio Corporation Limited / Grimes Batteryless Manufacturing Victoria Street North, Kitchener, Ontario. The first radios were the Inverse Duplex line (or brand?). Manufacture began on the top floor at the Victoria Street address in Kitchener in June of 1925. In September 1925, they began manufacturing cabinets and installing the chassis, which was still being made on Victoria Street, into the cabinets in Elmira. At this time they changed the name to the Phonola Company of Canada. In the Fall of 1928 they moved to Breithaupt Street in Kitchener. The name was again changed, this time to Dominion Electrohome Company Limited and is presently Electrohome Industries Limited. Dominion Electrohome later moved to the old Malcolm and Hill Furniture factory on Duke Street in Kitchener; a company dating back to the early days of radios, when they made cabinets for the Atwater Kent Company in Canada. "Electrohome" was the brand name that appeared in the 1946-47 model year on their own tube radios. It had been used for some time on their home appliances. Electrohome was a company that made radios for many other companies, as well as for their own dealers. This brought many brand names into being in the radio industry. The "Viking" was made for Eatons, "Serenader" for Simpsons, "Dictator" for the Hudson Bay Company, "Arcadia" for McLeod in the West, "Munro" in the Maritimes, and many more. There were also brands of radios made for distributors and retailers whose names have unfortunately been lost in the passage of time. |
