March 1950 - Having just left Du Pont in Buffalo NY, John Freeman Mueller joins aluminum window distributor

"Johnny Mueller says he's settled in Buffalo to stay, having bought a house then at 12 Clevebum Place last October. He resigned from the Du Pont Company the end of the year to accept a position as sales engineer in charge of the aluminum window division of “Alsco” Distributors, Inc. of New York State, where he‘s associated with Ed Kryder ‘42. Daughter Jermain, who will be two in March, acquired a baby brother January 27, John F., Jr."

March 1963 Princeton Alumni Review - "Jack Mueller has rejoined Reynolds Metals Company, located in N.Y.C. Jack was formerly with Reynolds from 1950 to 1955 in Louisville, Kentucky, and Philadelphia".

Reynolds Metals had their sales force offices in Louisville Kentucky, but moved them to Richmond Virginia in the (late) 1950s.

"In June 1958, Reynolds Metals Co. entered a new era in Richmond. Big changes began several years earlier with the transporting of the company’s sales force from Louisville, Kentucky, to Richmond. This involved moving over 400 employees and their families, 600,000 pounds of office files and equipment and 2,400,000 pounds of employees’ household goods almost 600 miles. For several employees this included company-paid visits to Richmond for several months to look for homes in the area"

The other big employer at the time in Louisville Kentucky was Du Pont -

"The 1950s shift from Louisville increased Reynolds’s employment in Richmond to 3,050—the largest of any private industrial organization except the Du Pont Co., which had 3,700 (in 1958)."

... Meaning that John Freeman Mueller, working in sales for Du Pont in Buffalo in the late 1940s, might have had some level of continuity if he transitioned to sales with Reynolds Metals in Louisville Kentucky in the early 1950s.

We also read that John F Mueller joined Reynolds Metals "after the way" (See [HL001C][GDrive] ), but that is not specific ....

"After the war, Johnnie went into the aluminum-extrusion industry, initially with Reynolds Metals. After his retirement he was still working as a consultant with Indal Extrusion Co. of Gainesville, Ga."

As of April 1969, we know John Freeman Mueller is commuting to Manhattan where is an "architectural and highway industry manager for Reynolds Metals."
