FOR DISTINGUISHED SRRFICE:' 



Genuine American Walnut earned high honors for its enduring qualities when 

 used for aeroplane propellers and gun stocks during the war. 



Genuitie Aiiicricati JValtiut does not warp, shrink, split, twist or sp/i?iter. (See report 

 in Bulletin, Ohio Experimental Station, March, 1921.) 



These same excellent properties make it the preferred cabinet-wood of furniture 

 manufacturers in the "piping times of peace." {The public likes it. — "That helps 

 some. ) 



The genuine American Walnut furniture and paneling of today will retain its good 

 form and be a credit to its makers for centuries to come.

THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY 



Furniture Business Slowly Improving 



Business conditions are slowly improving at the Shelbyville furni- 

 ture factories. Such is the consensus of opinion of manufacturers. 

 Many are of the opinion, however, that it will be some time before 

 conditions return to a normal level. As one manufacturer stated, it 

 is necessary to make big inducements to gain business at the present 

 time. Business at the Davis-Birely Table Company is very good, 

 but in the last iew w^eeks has remained about the same. The D. L. 

 Conrey Furniture Company notices that business is very good and 

 picking up each day. The Hodell Furniture Company observes that 

 business remains about the same. However, during the month of 

 July they received a large number of orders which will keep them 

 running at full force and hours for some months to come. 



"A little improvement" is noted at the Shelbyville Wardrobe 

 Company. This change for the better has occurred in the last few 

 weeks, they state. Conrey-Davis notices very little change in con- 

 ditions. What little change has occurred has been for the better, 

 they state. The C. H. Campbell Furniture Company also notices 

 that there has been but little change in the last few weeks. Dan- 

 ziger Furniture Company is of the opinion that business at its plant 

 "remains the same." The same statement was given by the Tindall- 

 Wagner Manufacturing Company. Business remains the same at 

 the Shelbyville Desk Company, the Spiegel Furniture Company, 

 and the Spiegel Cabinet Company. A number of men have been 

 employed at the factories during the past few w^eeks as business is 

 slowly improving. Manufacturers state they have added more men 

 to their plants than are needed for the orders they now have on 

 hand, but state they have employed them to make up shipments of 

 furniture in the belief that business will show a decided upward 

 trend within the next few months.
