DETAILS
General Info
1946 Carl K. Pindler, Matthew's son, returned home from a military career as an Air Force bombardier-navigator ( 1943-1945 ). Shortly after his honorable discharge, Carl teamed up with his father and together they formed Pindler & Pindler. The new company borrowed a Park Plaza Hotel-type emblem and soon the back-to-back initial Ps became the first logo. With their two-man operation, the Pindlers began to contact the movie studios, both wardrobe and property departments, selling whatever was available in the post-war years. 1947 In July, Pindler & Pindler opened its first showroom and warehouse at 501 North Western Avenue in Los Angeles. A growing clientele was now demanding more product variety ; closeout prints and casements were added to the Pindler inventory. Regular customers included MGM, Twentieth Century, RKO, Columbia, and Paramount. 1949 The first non-family member joined the firm the same year the showroom expanded. By mid-year, the second location that was occupied as a showroom and warehouse were moved to Third Street at Robertson Boulevard. This new locale established Pindler & Pindler as one of the founding firms of the Los Angeles interior design community. 1951 In a major marketing shift, Pindler & Pindler fabrics were now carried by a representative in San Francisco. This first expansion increased the firm's visibility tremendously and established a growth pattern for the years to follow. 1954 The increased exposure demanded a continuity of fabric. Pindler & Pindler was among the first to offer decorators a continuous availability of merchandise. 1955 Following Matthew's retirement, Carl purchased his father's portion of the business and found himself at the helm of the young company. Matthew lived to be 97. 1962 Another move occurred, this time to 145 North Robertson, where the expanding firm could have a showroom and general offices on one floor and nearly 4, 500 square feet of warehouse space above on the second floor. This same period brought a growth of printed fabrics and a wider range of upholstery product. By this time, stock had nearly reached 1, 000 units. 1965 In keeping with the times, a new logo was developed by interlocking the familiar P's. Public image was enhanced with the introduction of green and white sample books and tags. These colors were to serve as a trademark for the next fifteen years.
