ABOUT STEARNS ® The story of Stearns Inc. actually goes back several years before the company’s formation—to a man named William P. Hilger and his Minnesota Sales Corporation.

THE FUTURE LOOKS CLEARER
One of the product lines the Minnesota Sales Corporation developed was an automotive accessory: frost shields. A frost shield was a clear sheet affixed to the window of a car in colder climates. It prevented condensation and frost and thereby allowed the driver to see. Frost shields were applied to the windshield, both front side windows, and the rear window. They were, basically, “storm windows” for the car.

The company, now renamed Hilco, became known for exciting innovations in frost shield technology like pre-glued gaskets and the "electric sleet shield." By the end of 1936, Hilco had manufactured one million frost shields!
