Our History
On July 12, 1901 Chicago Faucets founder, Albert C. 布朗拿出他的积蓄,在芝加哥西区附近开了一家小店. 在那里,他作为OEM供应商生产各种管道装置, as well as lamp shade frames, gas regulator valves, and oil burner tips and nozzles. By 1911, 对该公司管道产品的需求已经增长到这样的地步:它开始以自己的名义进行营销,并通过批发管道供应公司分销其不断扩大的产品线. |

The Quaturn cartridge became the standard of reliability, durability, 和价值,因为芝加哥水龙头承诺标准化和可再生的零件. Quaturn墨盒多年来不断更新,纳入了新技术和新材料, 但它仍然可以与自1913年以来生产的任何Quaturn互换. |
