Hunter Fan History
 |
In 1886, an entrepreneurial father and son team launched a unique
manufacturing business that would grow into a legend. John Hunter and
his son, James, started manufacturing and selling a rather unusual
assortment of products, ranging from the now-famous L.C. Smith shotgun
to an odd-looking, water-powered belt-driven device...the world's first
ceiling fan. |
 |
| Soon after, the Hunter Fan and Motor Company unveiled the original
electrically powered ceiling fan...one of the first products of any kind
to operate on electricity!
We were making ceiling fans when the Wright Brothers were learning to
fly...when flappers were flapping and V-8 engines were revving. An
integral part of the history of this nation, Hunter fans began with a
manufacturing concept so good that they have become a tradition. The
result? A whole new generation of Americans is discovering the quality
and craftsmanship of yesteryear still exists in Hunter products.

Consumers today are also discovering that ceiling fans are one of the
most energy efficient and money-saving methods of cooling available.
With the environment at the forefront of public concern, ceiling fans
make more sense than ever.
Hunter ceiling fans also enhance the character of any room or home.
With the many styles and models available today, finding one to fit your
decor is easy!

 |
| Times may change, but Hunter's uncompromising concern for
quality has always remained constant. It's no wonder that fans purchased
more than eighty years ago are still running! And today's Hunter
Originals® still carry a limited lifetime warranty. |
| Owning a Hunter means owning a classic -- a tradition -- a
legend. Expertly crafted, thoroughly proven, exquisitely finished,
Hunter fans have evolved to a level of perfection that is respected and
admired by quality conscious people all over the world. |
