More about Vaughan Furniture
In 1923, two brothers, raised on a small farm in southwest Virginia, founded Vaughan Furniture Company. Taylor G. Vaughan, Sr. and his brother Bunyan C. Vaughan and 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 was elected the company's sixth president in 2007 and David Vaughan is Senior Executive Vice President.
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. As a complete resource for bedroom, dining room and living room furniture, Vaughan looks to the future with revitalized optimism.
