Admiral (electrical appliances)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Admiral is an American appliance brand currently manufactured by Maytag. The brand is sold at The Home Depot.
Admiral started as a brand of consumer electronics (radios and phonographs) in the 1930's, supplied the US military with electronic equipment during World War II, and was one of the major TV manufacturers in the early era of that medium, enabling it to branch out into major appliances such as refrigerators by the 1950's. The various divisions were sold to other companies by the mid-1970's due in part to competition from imported consumer electronic goods from Japan. [1]
