American plumbing fixtures company
The Chicago Faucet Company, often shortened to Chicago Faucets, founded on the near-west side of Chicago, Illinois, United States, has been producing faucets and other plumbing fixtures since 1901. The company founder, Albert C. Brown, invented the Quaturn Cartridge in 1913 that worked with the flow of water to make it both easy to open and close the spigots and forestalled leak development. The Great Depression hit the company hard because of a decline in new construction.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
