Torrans Manufacturing Company
Yesterday and Today
They are for the most part continuations and not reproductions or copies.
Torrans Manufacturing Company was established in the northeast Texas river port town of Jefferson by William P. Torrans, in 1850. In the early years, Torrans Manufacturing Company produced many things. Among these were cypress shingles, lumber, saddlery, harness, wagons and cultivation equipment.
Today, the company is owned and operated by Louis and Kathy Torrans and still
doing business in
Jefferson.
However, the products that are manufactured now are less involved than those of
yesteryears.
In fact, they make just one kind of item, classic and traditional metal outdoor
furniture of the type we all grew up with. These timeless designs are again
available in a large array of colors and styles.
Most of their chairs and gliders were designed by Ed Wormack of
Fort Smith ,
Arkansas in the mid 1940’s. Ed is
credited with having designed the first practical three piece lawn chair frame.
Until then, they were mostly made from one single, long piece of tubing.
Wormack and Company produced chairs for nearly all the large wholesale
distributors along with chairs and gliders exclusively designed for Sears
Roebuck & Company.
Torrans Manufacturing Company reintroduced this same line and today owns molds and tooling to produce five different styles of Metal Lawn Chairs and three Gliders. Only minor modifications have been used to improve these classic and time tested designs. They are for the most part continuations and not at all reproductions or copies. In fact, chairs from Torrans Manufacturing Company are heavier and better built than even those of Mr. Wormack. In 1947, Ed advertised his chairs weighed 19 pounds. Those from Torrans weigh 20.5!
