Super-Foremanship in Evansville 



Evansville, Ind., which has made a name for itself in the furni- 

 ture manufacturing industry, is now in a fair way also to make 

 some history in super-foremanship, that is, in the development of 

 more modern and progressive ideas among the superintendents 

 and foremen of the woodworking plants and especially among 

 those making veneer, panels and furniture. And they are doing 

 this through organization and co-operation in a business-like man- 

 ner and setting an example that should be inspiring to the wood- 

 working fraternity in other sections of the country. 



They got together a couple of months ago and organized the 

 Woodworking Superintendents* and Foremen's Association, the 

 purpose of which is the technical improvement of its members and 

 the encouragement of social intercourse among the superintend- 

 ents and foremen of the woodworking industry in the city of 

 Evansville. 



They meet twice a month, on the evening of the first and third 

 Thursdays, in the Chamber of Commerce, and are gradually de- 

 veloping a series of programs and discussions which make for 

 greater enlightenment as well as better understanding and co- 

 operation among those in charge of the production end of the 

 woodworking industry. 



They already have a membership of between fifty and sixty and 

 have the approval and expect the active co-operation of the heads 

 of the institutions, and hope to develop better relationship between 

 owners and managers and the men in charge of the work as well 

 as to develop more positive and better knowledge among them- 

 selves. 



At the meeting Thursday, May 4, Bruce T. Cole, superintendent 

 of the Karges Furniture Company, said that he has made up his 

 mind that he was going to set to work systematically to the end 

 that he and his foremen shall visit other plants until they become 

 acquainted with all their neighbors and their methods of doing: 

 business, and he extended an invitation to other superintendents 

 and foremen to come and visit w^ith him and the foremen of their 

 plant ■whenever it w^as convenient. This is characteristic of the 

 spirit that is being developed by the new organization, which is 

 plainly headed toward an order of super-foremanship. 



J. Crow Taylor, of Louisville, who has long been a writer of 

 technical and practical matter pertaining to machine woodworking, 

 was present by special invitation, and after making a talk to the 

 superintendents and foremen present was elected an honorary 

 member of the organization. 



The officers of the association at present are: President, S. A. 

 Brentano of the Midland Furniture Company; vice president. W- 

 F. Sabel, Crescent Furniture Company; secretary, E. C. Deal, 

 Evansville Top & Panel Company; treasurer, Orville Abshier* 

 Evansville Veneer Company.
