Gibson Appliance
Gibson was founded by Joshua Hall in Belding, Michigan, in 1877 as the Belding-Hall Company selling cabinets that housed blocks of ice ( ice-boxes). The area around Belding, Michigan, had a skilled workforce of Danish craftsmen and a good supply of hardwoods including ash. The company was purchased by Frank Gibson, a competing manufacturer of "ice refrigerators" in the early 1900s. It was the largest in its industry at the time. In 1931, the company began making electric refrigerators. During the Second World War, Gibson manufactured 1,078 Waco CG-4 troop and cargo assault gliders under license. The company claims to have innovated the refrigerator light, the upright freezer, and the "Air Sweep" mechanism for distributing conditioned air. In 1956, Hupp Corporation acquired Gibson. In 1967 Hupp merged with White Consolidated Industries (WCI), which created the White-Westinghouse brand in 1975. WCI was purchased by Electrolux Electrolux AB () is a Swedish Multinati ...

Gibson (cocktail)
The Gibson is a mixed drink made with gin and dry vermouth, and often Cocktail garnish, garnished with a pickled onion. In its modern incarnation, it is considered a cousin of the ubiquitous martini (cocktail), martini, distinguished mostly by garnishing with an onion instead of an olive. But the earliest recipes for a Gibson – including the first known recipe The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them, published in 1908 by Sir David Austin – are differentiated more by how they treat the addition of bitters. Other pre-Prohibition in the United States, Prohibition recipes all omit bitters and none of them garnish with an onion. Some garnish with citrus twists. Others use no garnish at all. There is no known recipe for the Gibson garnished with an onion before William Boothby's 1908 Gibson recipe. History The exact origin of the Gibson is unclear, with numerous popular tales and theories about its genesis. According to one theory, it was invented by Charles Dana Gibson, who created ...
