Ford D. Albritton, Jr., presi
dent of the Albritton Engineering
Corp., expressed his appreciation
yesterday of the excellent coopei'-
ation he received fi’om the Bryan
Industrial Foundation, Inc. while
investigating Bryan for the site
of his company’s operations.
Greene H. Buchanan, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, said
“we are happy to have the Albrit
ton Engineering Corp. become a
part of the Bryan’s industrial
group and we extend them every
best wish for success in our com
munity.”
Buchanan praised R. B. But
ler, chairman of the Foundation’s
Board of Directors -which serves
as the Industrial Committee for
the Bryan Chamber and the mem
bers of the Industrial Committee
for the excellent work performed
in presenting factual information
and negotiating with Albritton
during the past year’s time.
Albritton Engineering C o m-
pany, manufacturer of Alenco al
uminum windows, will move to the
new plant containing approximate
ly 86,500 square feet of production
space about October 1.
The new plant, located at Fin-
feather Road and Palasota Drive
will be a model of modern pro
duction efficiency, with straight
line output. Raw materials will
enter at one end of the plant and
the finished product will be crated
and shipped from the other.
Albritton, an A&M graduate of
1943, said about 100 local resi
dents will be employed at the be
ginning of operations here. “We
hope to increase this number to
approximately 200 within the first
12 months of operations in Bryan,
as the result of steadily increas
ing production from our new plant
and the anticipated introduction of
new products.”
STILL IN USE is this room in the old Science Hall which, according - to the President’s
.progress report, in “the interest of economy it will be necessary for the Department of
Physiology and Pathology to remain there for another year.”

SHOWERS
Partly cloudy skies with scat
tered thundershowers after 2 p.m.
are predicted for today. Ninety-
nine was the high yesterday, with
this morning’s low, 78 degrees.

Ford B. Albritton Jr.
Some 14 present employees of
Albritton Engineering, including
he president and other key person
nel, will move their families to
Bryan.
It pointed out that Bryan was
selected for the Company’s place
of future operations ofter a 12-
month study of a “great many”
potential locations in the Texas
Gulf industrial area.
“Bryan was finally chosen be
cause of its residents—the excel
lent community and business at
mosphere and the opportunity of
obtaining good, reliable personnel
to. become members of our Albrit
ton office and production team.
“In addition, we have a fine
plant which provides us with thg
opportunity to more than double
our present output. This will
make it possible for us to meet
and accelerate demand for Alenco
aluminum windows.” Excellent
shipping facilities were also cited
an another factor in the company’s
decision.
In order to achieve the max
imum in streamlined, efficient out
put and to cut hand operations to
a minimum, substantial quantities
of new machinery wil be installed,
including presses, sawing equip
ment and materials handling equip
ment.
The corporation is the only
Southwest member of the Alumin
um Window Manufacturers Assoc
iation and Albritton is a member
of the organization’s board of dir
ectors.
Although the firm had its be
ginnings in 1948 when it was
formed by Albritton to sell jal
ousie windows, it was organized
as Albritton Engineering Corpor
ation in 1953 to produce and mar
ket its first pi’oduct, the Alenco
jalousie. As a result of the de
c-line, in demand for jalousie win
dows, the firm designed and mar
keted a single hung window in
the fall of 1954. Acceptance was
immediate, as reflected by stead
ily increasing sales and production
since that time. In the interven
ing period, the company also de
veloped and introduced the balance
of the window models and styles
in its present line.
