METAL OFFICE FURNITURE 

 Several important Havana firms carry 

 stocks of well-known brands of steel office 

 furniture, which is now extensively used 

 throughout Cuba and is recognized as 

 superior to anything else on the market, 

 particularly since furniture of this type 

 is immune to the ravages of worms, which 

 attack articles of wood in this climate. 

 The sale of steel furniture, however, is 

 considerably retarded by the enormous 

 prices asked for these goods. The average 

 cost of an ordinary three-drawer metal 

 filinff cabinet has been in the neighbor- 

 hood of $65.00. For this reason most of 

 the small provincial offices are equipped 

 with desks, chairs, cabinets, form chests, 

 etc., made from native hardwoods, such 

 as mahogany and Spanish cedar, which 

 cost considerably less than the metal 

 equipment. At more favorable prices, the 

 market would probably expand. — Consular 

 Agent George A. Makinson, Cardenas.
