1912 Midland Metal Spinners was founded by

George Cadman, who was then 65 years old, as

a metal holloware manufacturing company, in St.

Mark’s Street, Wolverhampton. They later moved

into the Tower and Fort Works in Pelham Street,

which ultimately gave rise to the famous Tower

brand name.

1937 Tower exhibited some of their latest holloware

designs at the British Industries Fair. As you can

see from the original poster, their stand No. A410

must have been a great sight as it promoted their

“Beautiful, inexpensive, untarnishable Plate, at

prices all can afford to pay”.

1961 Tower became one of the largest

manufacturers of aluminium holloware, electric

kettles, tea pots and other household articles with

over 1,000 employees.

1974 Russell Hobbs took ownership of the

expanding Tower brand.

UsingTheSteamJet:

3. Press the steam jet button once.

all creases can be removed within three
operations of the steam jet.

IroningTips:

• Always check rst whether a label with
ironing instructions is attached to the article.

• The iron heats up quicker than it cools
down, therefore, you should start ironing
the articles requiring the lowest temperature

such as those made of synthetic bres.

• If the fabric consists of various kinds of

bres, you must always select the lowest

ironing temperature to iron the composition

of those bres.

• Silk and other fabrics that are likely to
become shiny should be ironed on the inner
side.

• Velvet and other textures that rapidly
become shiny should be ironed in one
direction with light pressure applied. Always
keep the iron moving at any given moment.

• Pure woollen fabrics (100% wool) may be
ironed with the iron set a steam position.
Preferably set steam button to the
maximum position and use a dry cloth as a
mat.

Note: when ironing woollen fabrics, shining of
the fabric may occur. So it is suggested that you
should turn the article inside out and iron the
reverse side.

GarmentCare:

Read all garment labels when ironing and ensure
the manufacturers ironing guidelines are followed.
The manufacturers ironing guidelines are often
shown by symbols similar to the below:

Caution: Please note that on the label means

Instructions

that this article may not ironed.
