The "Merit" Veneer Re-Drier 



The plate pressure being in- 

 ti'rmlttent and not continuous, 

 the treated material is free to 

 shrink as It dries and there is 

 iirt tendency toward checkin.q or 

 splittinff.

 eral sizes of plale with four to 

 slxtwn plates In a machine. 



"Nothinj: Beats a Hot Plate."

 the middle of November. In fact he expects "pretty good business 

 for the next six weeks." But if within that time the improvement 

 does not come it may be put off until after the first of the year. 

 He finds that furniture and piano manufacturers are optimistic 

 of the immediate future and that factories in these industries are 

 busy at Jamestown, Grand Rapids, Chicago and other centers. 



Henry P. Walsh of the Veneer Manufacturers Company had 

 the following to say: 



"The end of the coal and rail strikes, with the consequent 

 re-employment of labor, together with the far reaching effects 

 of a better supply of fuel and transportation, promises a con- 

 siderable increase in general business activity, for a time at 

 least. 



"Reports from the various mills indicate that the long delayed 

 revival has become a fact, and many of the mills are now unable 

 to promise delivery before 60 to 90 days. 



"The log shortage in the different parts of the country is very 

 acute. Many of the northern mills have none, and they do not 

 look for improved conditions until winter logging is again in 

 operation. In the south the mills are handicapped by lack of 

 cars to get their logs to the mills. 



"Already many of the operators have found it necessary to 

 advance prices on some of the veneers and panels, and unless 

 conditions are relieved further advances are looked for." 



News of Evansville Consumers 



The P. H. Reddinger Manufacturing Company, makers of fur- 

 niture at Evansville, Ind., has made a number of improvements 

 on its plant during the past several months. Mr. Reddinger reports 

 the outlook for business this fall and winter is very good. 



William B. Argles, formerly connected with the Mingle Furni- 

 ture Company at Louisville, Ky., has accepted the position of pro- 

 duction manager with the Wertz-Klamer Furniture Company, a 

 manufacturing concern at Evansville, Ind. 



William Elles, manager of the Evansville Desk Company at Evans- 

 ville, Ind., has returned from a business trip to Indianapolis. 



The furniture manufacturers, at Evansville. Ind., are being de- 

 layed in shipments, especially to w^estern points by the shortage 

 of large cars in which to ship furniture, according to John C. 

 Keller, secretary and traffic manager of the Evansville Furniture 

 Manufacturers' Association in a statement issued a few days 

 ago. The Evansville furniture factories are now being operated 

 on a 100 per cent basis and in some instances the factories are 

 running with night shifts, this being necessary for the manufactur- 

 ers to catch up with their orders that they secured at the recent 

 furniture market in Evansville. The outlook for the furniture 

 trade at this time is much better than it was a year ago, according 

 to Mr. Keller.
