A new exhibit is on view in our gallery space on the third floor of the Golda Meir Library featuring the West Bend Company Records.
The West Bend Aluminum Company was established in 1911 in West Bend, Wisconsin. This collection holds information about products developed, manufactured, and promoted by the West Bend Company throughout the twentieth century. This exhibition highlights the changes in how cookware and novelty kitchen products were presented to potential customers throughout the decades.
Come by to see some vintage advertising and unique recipes!
