There was a washboard factory in Eaton, Indiana, which was owned and
operated by the McCormick Bros.  Their further endeavors are the topic
of a book titled "Breadboxes, Bins, and Sifters".  There may be more
information on washboards if you search under the McCormick name.

Subject: Wash boards


I've just received a request for information on washboards, specifically
if
there were any 19th century innovations, who invented, etc.  In lightly
researching the topic for an exhibit last year, I didn't find much in
the
way of information on wash boards (there is a great website for antique
washing machines at http://216.160.174.6/oldewash_docs/index.html).

Anybody have any hints on washboard research?
