From the original dual-case mechanical typewriter, to word processors, to high-quality thermal transfer and direct thermal labels, they have continued to innovate across their 130+ year history. Before the Smith brothers helped change the world with typewriters, they manufactured firearms. Noticing that some of the mechanical processes and manufacturing techniques employed at the firearms factory mirrored those present in the emerging production of typewriters, Alexander T. Brown, an inventor working for the brothers, approached them with his own mechanical typewriter design. In 1886, Lyman Cornelius (LC) Smith, Wilbert Smith, Hurlbut W. (HW) Smith, and Monroe C. Smith founded the Smith Premier Typewriter Company, in order to produce Brown's forward-thinking dual-case typewriter design. The Smith brothers' typewriter business went through some reconfigurations and changes to its name in the decades that followed, and, in 1926, L. C. Smith & Bros. merged with the Corona Typewriter Company. The combination of LC Smith's durable office typewriters and Corona's popular portable machines made the new firm an industry leader and helped them to remain profitable even during the Great Depression. During World War II, when all typewriter production was halted, Smith Corona produced a number of critical goods in support of the war effort. Among its most famous contributions were M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles and Hagelin-style cypher machines. Smith Corona ushered in the electric typewriter craze after WWII, when it produced the world's first portable electric typewriter. Throughout the 1950s and 60s, Smith Corona continued to pursue new innovations in communication technology. In the 1970s and 80s, Smith Corona developed innovations for typewriter cartridges, ribbons, electronic typewriters, and word processors. It led the way in the word processing industry, creating spell-check and other technologies that were later used in personal computers. Unfortunately, the PC revolution virtually eliminated the need for the product that had made Smith Corona famous and several restructurings and buyouts resulted. As the typewriter market collapsed in the 1980s-2000s, Smith Corona's leadership looked for a new product line and found that it was a natural transition to bring our expertise at putting ink on paper to the thermal label industry.
