Before electricity came to the country, women used manual labor to perform all the household duties. Mixing was one of those duties. The first hand mixers were made of wire. They looked a lot like a metal spatula with holes in it. The faster you beat, the better things mixed. Then came the one beater mixer with a rotating wheel that the woman turned. The mixer in the photo is the super - duper mixer...........a two beater! That was really up-town. It was a rather short lived invention because electricity came soon after the invention. Once electric mixers hit the market.........goodbye hand mixers.
