History of the Revere Camera Co. Part I: From Russia with Radiators
Even as a millionaire industrialist himself, it was probably difficult for Revere founder Samuel Briskin to fully relate to the celebrity tabloid lifestyle of his silver-spooned son.
Born Shulem Boriskin in Russia in 1891, Samuel was virtually penniless when he fled his home country as a teenager to escape growing anti-Semitic hostilities, thus joining the latest wave of Jewish emigration to the U.S. He got himself a new name and new home in Chicago, but still had little more than a sixth grade education and far better Yiddish skills than English. To say Sam Briskin was a long shot for success would have been a generous analysis. But—like the hundreds of other immigrants who came to lead many of Chicago’s top manufacturing companies—Briskin had a certain grit and determination that seemed to render any odds-making irrelevant.
By the age of 20, he’d found himself a metal working job in Chicago, and a new bride, Bessie. By the age of 30, he was a father of six, working at a factory in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to put food on the table. Gobs of money still did not appear to be in his imminent future, but Sam had a rather daring plan. He would return his family to Chicago and start his own company, making car radiators—an industry in which he’d developed some expertise as a repairman.
The Excel Auto Radiator Company [sometimes incorrectly called the “Excel Radiator Company”] started operations in the early 1920s, and soon benefited from Samuel’s skillful salesmanship. Headquartered at 1827 S. Michigan Avenue through its first decade, the company managed to win contracts with Sears-Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, and Western Auto, leading to rapid growth and additional plants in Dallas, Kansas City, Oakland, Minneapolis, and Philadelphia.
