1832 A Sixteen year old Scottish entrepreneur, James Smith, set sail for the American shores in
search of new ideas and new horizons. He settled in Jackson, Mississippi and soon established a hardware business selling cooking ranges and stoves. The business flourished, but the hot, humid climate was having an effect on his

1900 By the turn of the century ESSE was internationally famous and Smith and Wellstood
was a major company supplying range cookers and stoves to many of the great railway companies and shipping lines and commanding, at one time, a quarter of the British domestic heating market.
