释义 |
The Johnson Chair Company was an American chair manufacturing company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company was founded by Norwegian immigrant Andrew P. Johnson, along with partners Frederick Herhold, Anton Borgmeier, and Adolph Borgmeier, with the firm's original name being Herhold, Johnson & Borgmeier. Johnson eventually bought out Herhold's interest in the company; Herhold went on to found the Herhold Chair Company.[1] Johnson's brother Nels later joined the company, and it was renamed to A.P. Johnson & Co. The company incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois as the Johnson Chair Company in 1883. The original location of the factory was at North Green and Phillips Streets. The Northwestern Railroad took that land in 1908, and Johnson moved to the southwest corner of N. 44th Street and North Avenue.[2] The Johnson Chair Company ceased operations in the fall of 1948, and its equipment was auctioned off. The factory was sold to Helene Curtis Industries. In 1949, The W.H. Gunlocke Chair Company, of Wayland, New York completed negotiations to acquire the Johnson name and chair designs with “the purpose being to be able to go out on the road and continue the Johnson business, offering a competing line within the framework of the Gunlocke Chair Company.” Manufacture of the Johnson Chair products was shifted to Wayland, while sales offices for Johnson were maintained in Chicago. Production of Johnson Chairs continued until 1979. Timeline1867–1907
