The Duluth Showcase Company, a manufacturer of store fixtures, was incorporated and the name changed to Duluth Refrigerator Company in 1928, and to the Coolerator Company in 1934. In 1945, the Coolerator Company again began to manufacture refrigerators and freezers. In 1946, the first electrical refrigerators were made.
