Editing Racine, Wisconsin (section)

=== Industry ===
Racine was a factory town almost from the beginning. The first industry in Racine County included the manufacture of fanning mills, machines that separate [[wheat]] grain from [[chaff]]. Racine also had its share of captains of industry, including [[Case Corporation|J. I. Case]] (heavy equipment), [[S. C. Johnson & Son]] (cleaning and chemical products), and Arthur B. Modine (Heat Exchangers). Racine's harbor was central to the shipping industry in Wisconsin in the late 19th century. Racine was also an early [[car manufacturing]] center. One of the world's first [[automobile]]s was built there in 1871 or 1872 by J. W. Cathcart,<ref>Clymer, Floyd.

In 1887, [[malted milk]] was invented in Racine by English immigrant [[William Horlick]], and [[Horlicks]] remains a global brand. The [[garbage disposal]] was invented in 1927 by [[architect]] John Hammes of Racine, who founded the company [[InSinkErator]], which still produces millions of garbage disposers every year in Racine.<ref>James R.

The city is also home to the [[Dremel]] Corporation, Reliance Controls Corporation and  [[Twin Disc]].
