The Remington Company

Oldest of the founding firms of Remington Rand is E. Remington & Sons, a manufacture of sewing machines and farm implements. In 1873 Christopher Sholes, who developed the first practical typewriter, interested E. Remington & Sons in manufacturing his typewriter. As a result, the first commercial typewriter, the Remington Number 1, was introduced in 1873. By 1913 the name of the firm was changed to the Remington Typewriter Company.
