History

The magazine was founded on May 2, 1885 by Clark W. Bryan in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. 1922 British edition was brought out as the American model in the same style. In 1911, the magazine was sold to the Hearst Corporation. At the time it reached a circulation of 300,000 copies. 1966 Good Housekeeping reached 5.5 million readers.

Literary contributions were provided, inter alia, by Somerset Maugham, Edwin Markham, Frances Parkinson Keyes, AJ Cronin, Virginia Woolf and Evelyn Waugh.

1900, the Experiment Station, the predecessor of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute ( GHRI ) was founded. The test kitchen and a test lab for household appliances were formally established in 1910. Since 1909, the magazine gives the seal of approval Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Products that bear the seal, have a warranty of two years. So far, more than 5,000 products have received the Seal.

In April 1912, a year after William Randolph Hearst purchased the magazine, was Harvey W. Wiley, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, director of GHRI. The magazine has been used as early as 1905 for healthy and pure food and so helped the Pure Food and Drug Act to say goodbye to 1906.
