Andersen Corporation was founded in 1903 as the Andersen Lumber Company by Danish immigrant Hans Jacob Andersen and his family at Hudson, Wisconsin. In 1929 the name of the firm was changed to Andersen Frame Company and in 1937 to Andersen Corporation.

The company began making window frames at its small Hudson plant in mid-1904. In 1905 Hans introduced an innovative two-bundle method of designing and shipping unassembled window frames. Eleven sets of horizontal parts were manufactured in different lengths and another eleven sets of vertical parts were made in different lengths, that in various combinations enabled the company to provide window frames in 121 sizes that (it was said) could be assembled by a carpenter in fewer than ten minutes. The company moved across the St. Croix River to South Stillwater, Minnesota in 1913, where land was available and a larger manufacturing plant was built on a site formerly occupied by a sawmill. South Stillwater's name was changed to Bayport in 1922.

The company initially manufactured only window frames, but in the 1930s it began to produce complete window units. Product lines that were later introduced included the Master Frame Casement Window (1930), the firm's basement window (1934), its Narroline Window (1938), Horizontal Gliding Window (1940), Pressure Seal Window (1946), Flexivent Window (1952), Beauty-Line Window (1957), Strutwall Window (1959), Perma-Shield Window (1966), High-Performance Glass (1983), and its Series 200 and Series 400 products (2000). Andersen's first gliding door was introduced in 1966, and its Frenchwood door went into production in 1989.

During the Second World War the company produced wooden ammunition boxes for the armed forces, earning two prestigious Army-Navy "E" awards in the process.

Andersen's frames were originally constructed of White Pine lumber. Other varieties of wood were later used as well. Fibrex, a new wood-vinyl composite material, began to be used by the company in the manufacture of its products in 1991.

Andersen Corporation initiated its popular profit-sharing plan in 1914. It began the ALCO Benefit Club in 1916, which provided sick leave for employees. It offered its first paid life insurance plan to its employees in 1919. Paid vacations were introduced in 1923. A company-paid pension plan was introduced in 1943, and a stock ownership plan for employees was introduced in 1975. The company has always been and remains a non-union shop.

Presidents of the corporation have included Hans Andersen (1903-1914); Fred Andersen (1914-1960); Earl Swanson (1960-1968); Bill Hulings (1968-1975); Arvid Wellman (1975-1981); Harold C. Meissner (1981-1991); Jerry Wulf (1991-1998); Don Garofalo (1998-2002); and James E. Humphrey (2002-).

Hans Jacob Andersen

Hans Jacob Andersen left his native Denmark in 1872. He arrived in Spring Valley, Minnesota, in 1874, where he started a construction business and owned a lumber yard. He moved to LaCrosse, Wisconsin, in 1887 when he purchased a wholesale lumber company there. In 1889 he moved again to St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he owned and operated a sawmill. Andersen relocated to Hudson, Wisconsin, in 1896, where he managed a sawmill and opened a retail lumber yard known as the Wisconsin Lumber and Building Company. Hans married Mary Kezia Cummings of Spring Valley, Minnesota in 1881. The couple had three children: Mary ("Mollie") (d.1947), Herbert (d.1921), and Fred (1886-1979). Mary Cummings Andersen died in childbirth in 1891. Hans married Sarah ("Sadie") McDonald in 1896. He died of a heart attack at Hudson in 1914. Upon Hans' death Fred Andersen was elected president of the corporation, and Herbert Andersen vice president and secretary-treasurer.

SCOPE AND CONTENTS

The collection includes financial journals and ledgers, advertising proofs and job files, product catalogs, employee newsletters, employee handbooks and benefit plans, legal files, trade mark and patent documents, price lists, sales information, details and specifications, service bulletins, installation manuals, and other records. Audio and visual materials include photographs of factory scenes, Andersen products, employees and company executives; videocassettes that feature television commercials; and motion pictures featuring factory production lines.

Most of the material was brought together from various people and departments in the company in connection with the 75th (1978) and 100th (2003) anniversaries of the company. Much of it was used in researching and producing the history books that were written at those times. The records eventually came to be the responsibility of the Public Affairs Department. The collection was donated to the Minnesota Historical Society in November 2007.

The bulk of the material relates to advertising and sales activities. Information about employees and their activities is also included. A series of Historical Files includes a variety of "historical" material, much of which was used in connection with the production of the anniversary history books. There are no annual reports and there is relatively-little recent financial information about the company.

Some of the volumes relate to the real estate activities and holdings of the corporation. There are also a variety of unidentified journals and ledgers.

HISTORICAL FILES

This series consists of material that was brought together for or produced in connection with the company's seventy-fifth (1978) and one hundredth (2003) anniversaries, as well as miscellaneous "old" items that apparently gravitated to the public affairs staff.

There are company histories, newspaper clippings, booklets and publications; catalogs; advertising proofs, sales-related materials; scrapbooks; and information about the company's war production work during World War II. It includes the Andersen Lumber Company articles of incorporation (1903); articles and speeches by Fred Andersen; photocopies of Hans Andersen's Danish-language emigration documents; a set of moulding books; and a series of posters advertising a 1994 Frank Lloyd Wright exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (1994) that was sponsored by Andersen.

Most of the material was assembled and/or brought together in connection with the publication of Andersen's 75th anniversary history book, The Magic Circle (1978), and its centennial history book, Different and Better (2003), both of which are in the Minnesota Historical Society library. Among such items are transcripts of oral history interviews conducted by Kenneth Ruble with key employees and executives (1977). There is also some personal material relating to members of the Andersen family.

Some large sets of material were removed from this series and interfiled as "historical" material with similar items in other record series (e.g., "Historical" advertising files).

MOVING IMAGES

This record series includes motion pictures and VHS videocassettes.

Motion pictures include about 665 reels of movie film, many of them apparently made as part of a "time study" project undertaken by the company at an unknown date. There are some films of other things as well, including footage of Saint Croix River floods affecting the Andersen plant. The film numbers were assigned by company personnel. This person compiled a long-hand list, which has been transcribed and included here.

Many of the videos are television advertisements featuring Andersen products and product lines. There are also some news stories, as well as internal presentations for the sales force or dealer use.

SALES

These materials were primarily produced for use by dealers and distributors in the sale and promotion of Andersen products. There is some overlap with Advertising files. Much of the material is in the form of glossy product literature. There are also "sales aids" and "helps" produced for use by dealers and the sales force; information about direct mail campaigns to be employed by local dealers; Distributor Advisory Council Meeting Minutes; information manuals; Andersen wall calendars for use by dealers; and information about the Window of Knowledge in-store electronic work station. There is also a set of 36 diaries kept by sales manager Jim Rowland. The material seems to be largely the files of Sales Promotion Manager Jack Ullrich and Marketing Communication Manager Joseph E. Arndt. There are also some files that originated with Dick Stout.
