The Humphrey Company was founded in 1901 by Alfred Humphrey, who started the General Gas Light Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan, marketing new, inverted arc gaslights.
Humphrey opened offices in San Francisco, New York, Havana, London, and Bremen. By 1920 more than a million Humphrey arcs light homes, stores, factories and city streets.
In 1916, Humphrey invented the "Radiantfire", a clean and odorless gas heating unit for fireplaces. Between 1920 and 1940, Humphrey employed more than 300 people producing 150,000 heaters a year, adding to the more than 700,000 "Radiantfire" products already in the marketplace. The Humphrey Company is still in existence today.
