Take a little American business history along on your travels with this McGraw-Edison Passport Cover. The brand began with a 1957 merger of McGraw Electric and Thomas A. Edison, Inc., linking early efforts to electrify homes with a company known for electrical equipment and consumer products. Later acquisitions and divestitures reflected the changing shape of manufacturing, while the name continued in lighting. A meaningful travel accessory for collectors and anyone curious about company heritage.
McGraw-Edison was an American electrical-equipment manufacturer formed in 1957 when McGraw Electric acquired Thomas A. Edison, Inc. McGraw Electric began in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1900, installing electricity in homes before expanding into industrial and commercial buildings and electrical products. In 1952, it merged with Pennsylvania Transformer Company while retaining the McGraw Electric name. Thomas A. Edison, Inc. had been reorganized in 1910 from Edison Manufacturing Co.; its products included phonographs, records, radios, and dictation machines. Charles Edison led that company from 1927 and became chairman of the merged company, retiring in 1961. McGraw-Edison expanded through acquisitions, including power-tool businesses in 1969 and 1972 and Studebaker-Worthington in 1979. It also sold divisions: its appliance business went to Raytheon in 1979, its food-service equipment division was acquired in 1980, and its power-tool division was sold that year. Cooper Industries acquired McGraw-Edison in 1985. The McGraw-Edison name continued on industrial, commercial, and institutional lighting products; Pennsylvania Transformer Technologies has owned the brand since 1996.
