Technique

The electric iron was invented in 1882, by Howard Seely. Seely patented his electric flatiron on June 6, 1882 (U.S. Patent no. 259, 054). Early electric irons used a carbon arc to create heat, which was an unsafe method. In 1892, hand irons using electrical resistance were introduced by Crompton and Company and the General Electric Company. During the 1950s, electric steam irons were introduced. This iron’s purpose (to press children’s toy clothing) highlights an increasing importance placed on cleanliness and proper presentation that was on the rise in Canada c. 1930s and on.
