乔治•奥古斯塔斯•保必丽
George Augustus Bobrick 我们为我们公司的历史和成就感到自豪。我们公司名称最早是以乔治•奥古斯塔斯•保必丽的名字命名的，他于1906年创立了美国保必丽公司。当时公司名称叫做美国保必丽化学公司，是各种化学产品（腊，氨，等等）。为了增加皂液产品的销售额，保必丽先生和他的儿子亚瑟，设计并且生产皂液器。（这家化学公司于1938年完全卖出）。
We look with pride upon the history and accomplishments of our Company. Our Company name originates from George Augustus Bobrick, who founded it in 1906. It was known as Bobrick Chemical Company, manufacturers of various commercial products (waxes, ammonia, etc.). To promote the sales of liquid soap, Mr. Bobrick and his son, Arthur, designed and produced soap dispensers. (The chemical business was sold outright in 1938.)
"卧铺"型皂液器
"Pullman" Type Liquid
Soap Dispenser 乔•奥•保必丽提出了第一个皂液器的创意，并因此于1908年获得了美国专利。美国卧铺车厢公司随后要求保必丽进一步完善皂液器将其用于他们的列车车厢内。结果就产生了第一个安装在洗脸盆的"卧铺"皂液器，这种皂液器因此于1912年获得第二个美国专利。这些早期发明使美国保必丽公司成为皂液器设备的开创者和先锋队，也确立了我们公司新的发展方向。
G.A. Bobrick conceived the idea of the first liquid soap dispenser and was awarded a U.S. Patent for it in 1908. The Pullman Car Company later asked Bobrick to develop a soap dispenser for use in their railway passenger cars. The result was the first basin-mounted "Pullman" dispenser, which brought Bobrick a second U.S. Patent in 1912. These early inventions established Bobrick as a pioneer in soap dispensing equipment and set a new direction for our Company.
挂墙皂液器
Wall-mounted
Liquid Soap
Dispenser 在随后的几年内，又开发了许多型号的皂液器。随着公众对公共卫生间卫生标准的要求越来越高，在加上建筑行业的快速发展，使得皂液器创意得到越来越多人的认可接受，销售也随之越来越多。
In the years that followed, many other soap dispenser models were developed. Greater awareness of proper sanitary standards in public washrooms, plus a rapidly growing construction industry, contributed to the increasing success and acceptance of the soap dispenser idea.
二十世纪二十年代，美国保必丽已经在全美国销售了25万个皂液器，公司两页样本罗列了十二个型号的皂液器。
By the 1920's, Bobrick had sold some 250,000 soap dispensers throughout the United States, and the Company's two-page catalog listed a dozen models.
1941年，美国保必丽公司的工厂面积由3,500平方英尺扩大到7,200平方英尺，员工30人。几百万个美国保必丽皂液器已经安装在全美国各个商业建筑，学校，以及其他公共机构中，美国保必丽公司也创造了更多的"第一"，包括第一个挂墙皂液器，第一个肥皂泡皂液器，以及第一个40盎司罐装皂液器。
By 1941, Bobrick had expanded from the original 3,500 square foot plant to a 7,200 square foot plant with 30 employees. More than a million Bobrick soap dispensers were already installed in commercial buildings, schools, and other institutions around the country, and the Company had introduced more "firsts," including the first wall-mounted dispenser, the first lather dispenser, and the first 40 fl. oz. tank-type soap dispenser.
第二次世界大战期间，由于美国工业需要转向为战争服务，因此要求公司业务做出调整。美国保必丽公司相应号召，开发出"胜利"型皂液器，节省战争期间的紧缺物资。此外，美国保必丽公司还将大部分生产能力和工程技术骨干用于生产飞机基础部件，为美国波音、Convair、道格拉斯、洛克希德、那斯洛普和邦迪科斯等公司提供飞机配件。
World War II demanded new adjustments as the country's industrial effort was directed toward the war. Bobrick responded with "Victory" model soap dispensers that conserved critically needed materials. In addition, Bobrick directed a major portion of its manufacturing facilities and engineering skills to the production of essential aircraft parts for such companies as Boeing, Convair, Douglas, Lockheed, Northrop and Bendix.

Gordon S. Bodek 第二次世界大战结束后，美国保必丽引来了公司发展的新纪元。1946年，威廉•S•洛凯姆成为公司的合作伙伴和总经理，为美国保必丽公司打下更加雄厚的技术基础和金融基础。1948年，戈登•S•博德克加入公司，被指派负责皂液器的销售工作。公司也搬迁到面积更大的16,500平方英尺的新厂房，并且恢复生产全系列皂液器，拓展了销售领域，并且渗透到商业建筑市场。
Following the war, the stage was set for a new era in Bobrick's development. In 1946, William S. Louchheim became a partner and managing officer of the Company, bringing to Bobrick an extensive background in engineering and banking. In 1948, Gordon S. Bodek joined the firm and assumed the responsibility for soap dispenser sales. The Company had already moved to a 16,500 square foot plant and resumed full-scale manufacturing of soap dispensers, broadening its sales and penetration into the commercial building market.
1956年，也就是公司成立50周年之际，美国保必丽皂液器设备的样本资料已经达到4页双色，各种各样的皂液器销售遍布全美国，并开始进入卫生洁具市场。1950年代后期，公司经营重点主要集中在不断拓展和开发产品，以满足新的建筑市场的需求。
By 1956, the Company's 50th year, Bobrick offered a four-page, two color catalog of soap dispensing equipment which was being sold throughout the United States, primarily in the sanitary supply market. In the late 1950's the Company undertook an emphasis on product expansion and development geared to the needs of the architectural and new construction markets.
1959年，美国保必丽聘请公司的第一位建筑师代表 - 美国密苏里州圣路易斯的李•汉利先生 。李先生同时也为美国保必丽的销售团队服务。为了建立最好的服务机构，满足建筑市场的需求，美国保必丽不遗余力地精心挑选更多的建筑师代表，这些建筑师代表许多都拥有工程技术和建筑双学历。
In 1959, Bobrick hired its first Architectural Representative - Lee Hanley of St. Louis, Missouri. Lee is still serving on the Bobrick sales team. In an effort to develop the best service organization for the construction market, Bobrick continued to add carefully selected Architectural Representatives, many with engineering and architectural degrees.
1961年样本封面
1961 Catalog Cover 1961年，美国保必丽有了一个重大的突破，成功开发出一系列独特的嵌墙式不锈钢多用途装置。这是一种卫生间设施的全新创意，它将各种卫生间附件组合在一个体积很小的装置内。建筑物业主和建筑师认为这种新型装置是半个多世纪以来最有意义的进步。这种新型装置极大地改善了卫生间的外观，卫生间空间得到更加有效的利用，极大地减少了安装成本和日常维护成本。
1961年样本页面
1961 Catalog Page In 1961, the big breakthrough came with Bobrick's introduction of a unique line of recessed stainless steel multi-purpose units.

Building owners and architects called the new line the most spectacular advancement in commercial washroom equipment in half a century. The new units dramatically improved the appearance of the washroom, made more efficient use of space and reduced installation and maintenance costs.

Bobrick toilet partitions were introduced in 1970. Featuring architectural flush-front styling and hidden stainless steel hardware, they were unique and exciting – a complete departure from the metal partitions that were then the standard of the industry. In 1972, the Company introduced its first vanity centers and in 1973, its first shower dividers – all made of tough, colorful maintenance-free laminated plastic.
