Back in 1921 a young man named C.G. Johnson invented the overhead™ garage door and changed the course of the garage door’s place in history. He was ahead of his time by using marketing and sales strategies such as customer coupons and sales outlet bulletins to communicate the news about this innovative new product and create a call-to-action for consumers. Johnson traveled across the United States with a small prototype of the door mounted on the back of his Model T, promoting his innovation at county fairs and in countless small towns (pictured here).
He established a network of distributors and soon his invention of the “overhead door™” gained widespread popularity. In 1926, Johnson was at it again. He invented the first electric door opener. His inventions created the foundation for C.G. Johnson’s well-respected enterprise that would become known as the Overhead Door Corporation.
