Walter H. Righter (1905 - 1982)

The Righter Manufacturing Company


The Righter Manufacturing Co., started out at 4626 San Fernando Road, Glendale, CA with only a handful of employees. Four years on saw the number grow to 52.

On June 27, 1941, needing more space, Righter Manufacturing Co. moved to larger quarters at 800 South Flower St. Burbank, CA. where the number of employees doubled again but did lose six or eight to the draft when war was declared on Dec. 7.
