Historical NotesWestinghouse often included Hall water jugs, leftover containers, and butter dishes as premiums with its refrigerators. This is the Hercules shape. The Westinghouse Electric Corporation was an organization founded by George Westinghouse in 1886 as Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. The company purchased CBS in 1995 and was renamed CBS Corporation in 1997. Westinghouse produced a variety of products such as air brakes, appliances, and electronics. Hall China Company began production in 1903 in East Liverpool, Ohio. Thanks to a single fire process developed by Robert Taggert Hall between 1903 and 1911, Hall China is durable, non-porous and does not craze.
