Historian Louis Hyman says Manpower started supplying workers to replace unexpected absences like people calling in sick. īy 1952, Manpower had expanded in the US to Minneapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, New York, Pittsburgh, and Boston in 1954, the company offered its first franchise in 1956, the company went international with offices in Montreal, Toronto, and the UK and in 1957, Manpower established operations in France. The two incorporated the company in Delaware, and in June 1948, opened offices in downtown Milwaukee and Chicago. By this account, in 1948, Scheinfeld conceived of Manpower, arrived at the name and early logo over lunch with friend and advertiser Marvin Frank, and invited Winter to invest as a minority stockholder and co-founder. Scheinfeld writes a different version: Aaron Scheinfeld worked with a company on contracts to mothball military equipment at the close of World War II, and envisioned a temporary help service. They raised $7,000 and opened their first storefront in Milwaukee with the name Manpower suggested by a friend. The pair was inspired when they found themselves looking for secretarial help to file a brief on a tight deadline with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. In one version of the founding story, Elmer Winter and his law partner Aaron Scheinfeld co-founded Manpower in 1948. logo in use from 1948 to the mid-1960s Founding and expansion (1948–1961)
