The firm produced a variety of household products and appliances, including many early electric appliances. Some of Landers, Frary & Clark’s most successful products included the Universal Bread Maker, the Universal Food Chopper, and the Coffee Percolator. In 1965 majority control of Landers, Frary & Clark was taken over by the J.B.
