Brief history of the Fuller Brush Company:
Alfred C. Fuller began what was to become Fuller Brush Company in a basement shop in Somerville, Massachusetts. In 1906 he moved to Hartford, Connecticut and founded the company. The company began with door-to-door sales of brushes of various sorts, including hairbrushes with a lifetime guarantee for which they are famous. The phrase “Fuller Brush Man” was coined by a salesman for The Saturday Evening Post in 1922. Until then, members of the Fuller Brush sales force weren’t sure whether to call themselves salesmen, dealers, representatives or distributors. Within the month, every Fuller salesman was approaching customers with a new introduction: “I’m your Fuller Brush Man!”

Popularity:
The Fuller Brush Man had become a national celebrity by the early 1920s, having made regular appearances in popular comic strips with Mickey Mouse, Dagwood and Blondie, Mutt and Jeff and Donald Duck. He even made a guest appearance in Walt Disney’s Three Little Pigs.

Red Skelton appeared with Alfred Fuller on Eddie Cantor’s radio show to talk about the soon-to-be-released movie, The Fuller Brush Man. The hilarious comedy-mystery movie, starring Red Skelton, was a box office smash, drawing movie-goers in record numbers.

Lucille Ball starred in the movie, The Fuller Brush Girl. The film met with the same overwhelming success The Fuller Brush Man had enjoyed.

The 1950s were the heydey of Fuller Brush with their highest sales volumes.

Former employees include evangelist Billy Graham, Clifford Irving, Frank Gross, Tom Leutwiler, Dennis Quaid, Dick Clark, J. Bruce Llewellyn, Ed Mirvish, Jack Sensenbrenner, Kin Shriner, and Ed Stelmach.
