History
George D. Roper founded the company in 1890 as a manufacturer of home appliances, pumps, and other industrial products. He had part ownership of the Van Wie Gas Stove Company of Cleveland. The Van Wie plant moved to Rockford, Illinois and passed into the hands trustees in the early 1890s. George D. Roper became the sole owner of the Van Wie Gas Stove company after the company's debts had been paid off on September 1, 1894. Ten days later, a fire destroyed the facility. The factory was rebuilt and renamed as the Eclipse Gas Stove Company, and later expanded in 1906 to include the Trahern Pump Company, founded in 1857.[2]
