A Long Tradition of Quality Begins
In 1884, American homes were still illuminated with kerosene lamps and lanterns. In Oakfield,
New York, young Ralph E. Chapin sold kerosene at the hardware store he ran with his
brother-in-law, Frank Harris. But something bothered Ralph Chapin. Many of the cans his
customers brought in to be filled with kerosene were so poorly made that they often leaked.
So Mr. Chapin began making his own cans and selling them to his customers.
The demand for this product was so great that Mr. Chapin soon sold his hardware store and
set up a manufacturing business in nearby Batavia. The company quickly expanded and began
making 55-gallon storage tanks and pumps. In 1903, Chapin began making compressed air
sprayers and hand sprayers.
Today, Chapin sprayers are still made from the best materials and exceed the most exacting
industry standards. And Chapin products continue to perform safely and dependably, providing
years of reliable service. Just as they have since 1884.
