Shelbyville Furniture Sold Well at **Rapids" 



Shelbyville furniture manufacturers and salesmen, who have 

 been in Chicago and Grand Rapids most of the last thirty days 

 attending furniture shows, are returning well satisfied with the 

 business done at the summer exposition. All the manufacturers 

 both there and locally report they received many orders during 

 the shows and are in a position to operate until the next show. 

 Several of the manufacturers refused to take orders that w^ould 

 have taken several months to get out because of the condition 

 of the market, they said.

 given by specialists outside of the company were the features oi

England Needs Oak Veneers and Plywood 



The London journal "Timber," in its plyw^ood section of the 

 July I issue made the following interesting comment on the need 

 in Great Britain of oak veneers and plywood: 



"Whilst on the subject of veneers, we can still comment on 

 the shortage of figured oak veneers and figured oak plywood, for 

 we understand that the trade is in a position to soak up many 

 times the quantities that are at present arriving. Only a very 

 few bundles of figured oak plywood have been landed for some 

 months, and these have been very quickly absorbed, and the 

 trade have been perfectly content to pay what we consider high 

 prices. Again the question of supply and demand predominates, 

 and this question is becoming more and more apparent every 

 day. especially on such articles as figured oak. What a harvest 

 could be reaped by any supplier who could place on the market 

 to-day a good supply of well-manufactured figured oak plywood. 

 The same thing applies to ash. Although there are a fair num- 

 ber of bundles to be obtained, there is still a shortage of "really 

 good stuff," and with the demand remaining strong, the prices 

 are, and will be for some time, kept at their present level, even 

 if they do not increase. We feel that good ash plywood will be 

 called for by the users to a great degree in the very near future. 

 Quite considerable quantities are required by furniture manu- 

 facturers, and there are certainly by no means any large parcels 

 remaining in first hands. Forward shipments of this article should 

 therefore realize good figures."
