In 1923, two brothers, raised on a small farm in southwest Virginia,
founded Vaughan Furniture Company. Taylor G. Vaughan, Sr., his
brother Bunyan C. Vaughan along with members of their families and
friends set out to begin a furniture manufacturing business that would
survive the Great Depression to become the established Vaughan family
legacy that endures today. The company was organized, financed and
built to manufacture a line of dining room furniture to complement another
company's line of bedroom furniture.
During the 1930's, Vaughan was selling complete bedroom suites for as
little as $24.95. In 1954, the lowest priced bedroom suite sold for $69.95.
The suite included a double dresser, chest-of-drawers, tilting Venetian
plate glass mirror, bookcase headboard and panel footboard. Two higher
priced suites were competitively priced for $79.95 and $89.95.
During the mid-1950's, when Taylor's son George was elected president,
improvements were made in manufacturing and efficiency. By 1964,
Vaughan orders had doubled and so had the manufacturing space. In the
years that followed, through 1997, the company continued to grow and
acquire manufacturing plants at a rate that may never be seen again.
John Vaughan was the company's fourth president. For John, style,
quality, integrity and a strong partnership with dealers were the guiding
principles of doing business. Now, the third generation of family
management continues the traditions of the founders. Bill Vaughan was
elected the company's fifth president in 1995. Taylor Vaughan is Senior
Executive Vice President and David Vaughan is Senior Vice
President-Merchandising and Imports.
Through rapid growth and expansion, the Vaughan family of skilled
craftspeople have always been at the heart of the company. Vaughan
Furniture Company remains committed to its fellow employees, its
customers and to delivering a quality product at value pricing. In the spirit
of enlivened volunteerism, Vaughan and its employees support America's
Promise, a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives
of children and youth.
Vaughan employs a sales force of approximately 75 and maintains a
distribution to more than 5,000 dealers, internationally. An approximate
26,000 square foot showroom in the International Home Furnishings
Center in High point, North Carolina, serves as the primary display
location for product, shown twice each year, at the Spring and Fall
Furniture Markets. As a complete resource for bedroom, dining room and
living room furniture, Vaughan looks to the future with revitalized optimism.
