Here's some info on the company: Broyhill Furniture Industries was founded in 1926. n 1926, when a key supplier of chairs, rockers and benches, the Bernhardt Chair Company, burned to the ground. Broyhill mortgaged his house for $5,000 to found the Lenoir Chair Company. In June 1927, Broyhill expanded the operation by agreeing to lease a blacksmith and buggy shop adjacent to a Carolina and Northwestern Railway Depot. In 1929, Ed Broyhill and Tom Broyhill teamed up to purchase Harper Furniture. The Stock Market Crash of 1929 soon followed, bringing about the Great Depression which slowed Broyhill's expansion efforts. Broyhill's expansion during the Great Depression led to some financial difficulties. A $100,000 consolidation loan that Broyhill secured in 1939 from a local bank helped the company to survive the end of the Depression. In 1941, Broyhill acquired the McDowell Furniture Company located in Marion, North Carolina, and the Conover Furniture Company. The acquisitions gave Broyhill another 150,000 square feet of floor space, machinery, and a large line of medium-to-low price furniture. Broyhill added a sixth plant in 1942, acquiring The Wrenn Furniture Company at another bankruptcy auction. In 1954, Broyhill built his first new plant on a 65-acre tract located just outside of Lenoir. In 1957, Broyhill established the Broyhill Premier line. Following the creation of the Premier line, Broyhill grouped the company's remaining products under the label “Lenoir House”, which featured more moderately priced furniture. The Premier line began to turn a profit in the 1960s, around the time that Broyhill constructed a new three-story office and showroom building. In 1970, the company opened a facility to manufacture plastic furniture. In the mid-1970s, the company expanded its operations outside of North Carolina for the first time, constructing a large facility in Summerville, South Carolina and acquiring an upholstered furniture manufacturing plant in Arcadia, Louisiana. In 1978, Broyhill launched a line of furniture that customers assembled themselves, a line of wall units, as well as upgraded fabric patterns for its upholstered furniture lines. By the end of the decade, Broyhill operated 20 factories, 60 free standing stores, and 250 Broyhill Showcase stores staffed by more than 7,500 employees, with annual sales of approximately $350 million. In August 1980, Broyhill was purchased by Interco, Inc., a St. Louis based manufacturer of shoes and clothing, for $151.5 million. This is an ORIGINAL item, NOT A REPRODUCTION item!
