The company was founded in 1936 by Max Harlow to build the Harlow PJC-2 a production version of the PJC-1. The aircraft had been designed and built as a class project at Pasadena Junior College. The PJC-2 was followed by a military training version the Harlow PC-5. A majority interest in the company was bought by Intercontinent Corporation in 1941 who then sold the company to Vultee Aircraft The company and facilities were subsequently used to build aircraft assemblies and components. In 1945 the company bought Alhambra Airport but sold it in 1946 to real-estate developers. [ [http://employees.oxy.edu/jerry/alhambra.htm Alhambra Airport ] ]
