Izinkomishi zephepha zibhalwe phansi eChina yobukhosi, lapho iphepha lasungulwa ngekhulu le-2 BC futhi lasetshenziselwa ukuphakela itiye.Zazakhiwe ngobukhulu obuhlukahlukene nemibala, futhi zihlotshiswe ngemiklamo yokuhlobisa.Ubufakazi bombhalo wezinkomishi zephepha buvela encazelweni yezinto zomndeni wakwa-Yu, edolobheni lase-Hangzhou.
Inkomishi yephepha yesimanje yathuthukiswa ngekhulu lama-20.Ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-20, kwakuyinto evamile ukwabelana ngezibuko noma ama-dipper emithonjeni yamanzi efana nompompi besikole noma imiphongolo yamanzi ezitimeleni.Lokhu kusetshenziswa okwabiwe kwabangela ukukhathazeka kwezempilo yomphakathi.
Ngokusekelwe kulokhu kukhathazeka, futhi njengoba izimpahla zephepha (ikakhulukazi ngemva kokusungulwa kwe-Dixie Cup ka-1908) zatholakala ngemali ephansi futhi ehlanzekile, ukuvinjelwa kwendawo kwadluliselwa kwinkomishi yokusetshenziswa ngokuhlanganyela.Enye yezinkampani zikaloliwe zokuqala ukusebenzisa izinkomishi zephepha ezilahlwayo kwakuyiLackawanna Railroad, eyaqala ukuzisebenzisa ngo-1909.
I-Dixie Cup igama lomkhiqizo womugqa wezinkomishi zephepha ezilahlwayo ezaqala ukwakhiwa e-United States ngo-1907 nguLawrence Luellen, ummeli waseBoston, Massachusetts, owayekhathazeke ngamagciwane asatshalaliswa abantu ababebelana ngezibuko noma amadiphu ezindaweni zomphakathi. lamanzi okuphuza.
Ngemva kokuba u-Lawrence Luellen esungule inkomishi yakhe yephepha kanye nomthombo wamanzi ohambisanayo, waqala i-American Water Supply Company yaseNew England ngo-1908 eliseBoston.Inkampani yaqala ukukhiqiza indebe kanye noMdayisi Wamanzi.
I-Dixie Cup yaqala ukubizwa nge-"Health Kup", kodwa kusukela ngo-1919 yaqanjwa ngomugqa wonodoli abenziwa yi-Alfred Schindler's Dixie Doll Company eNew York.Ukuphumelela kwaholela inkampani, eyayikhona ngaphansi kwamagama ahlukahlukene, ukuba izibize ngokuthi i-Dixie Cup Corporation futhi ithuthele embonini eWilson, ePennsylvania.Phezu kwemboni kwakunethange lamanzi elikhulu elimise okwenkomishi.
Ngokusobala, nokho, asiliphuzi ikhofi ezinkomishini ze-Dixie namuhla.Ngawo-1930 kwaba nenqwaba yezinkomishi ezintsha eziphathwayo—ubufakazi bokuthi abantu base besebenzisa izinkomishi zephepha eziphuzweni ezishisayo.Ngo-1933, uSydney R. Koons wase-Ohio wafaka isicelo selungelo lobunikazi ukuze isibambo sinamathiselwe ezinkomishini zephepha.Ngo-1936, uWalter W. Cecil wasungula inkomishi yephepha efika nezibambo, ngokusobala ihloselwe ukulingisa izinkomishi.Kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-1950s, kwakungekho ukungabaza ukuthi izinkomishi zekhofi ezilahlwayo zazisezingqondweni zabantu, njengoba abasunguli baqala ukufaka amalungelo obunikazi ezivalo ezenzelwe izinkomishi zekhofi ngqo.Bese kuza i-Golden Age yenkomishi yekhofi elahlwayo kusukela ngeminyaka yawo-'60s.
