THE PAST AND PRESENT IN MAHOGANY 



The Austrian Furniture Industry 



The following translation from Neue Freie Presse of April 21, 

 1 92 1, regarding the furniture industry in Austria has been sub- 

 mitted by William Ford Upson, representative of the Department of 

 Commerce at Vienna: 



The furniture industry, which last year was at its height, has 

 undergone considerable change, the ordinary furniture industry 

 being in a state of crisis, the bent-wood furniture industry passing 

 through a period of stagnation, and the so-called art-furniture in- 

 dustry (with its seat in Vienna) maintaining exports only to neigh- 

 boring states except for slight beginnings of exports to England. 



This crisis is due not only to the fact that most countries have 

 prohibited imports of art furniture, but because the world market 

 price for carpenters' wages has been reached In Austria, so that 

 competition can no longer be maintained. One disadvantage to the 

 industry of ordinary furniture is the fact that numerous inexperi- 

 enced persons undertook this branch of w^ork and delivered un- 

 satisfactory sets to Italy and Holland, with the result that quantities 

 of goods of this kind were refused and are now stored. The bent- 

 wood furniture industry has always had a large export and still 

 maintains it in limited measure. 



New Casket Factory at Work 



The Northern Casket Company of Chippewa Falls, has com- 

 pleted its new factory and most departments are now in operation, 

 with prospects for full operation by July 1 . Two carloads of 

 caskets w^ere shipped last week and regular deliveries will now^ be 

 made. Reports that the company was arranging to dispose of the 

 property are officially denied. While negotiations have been under 

 way along this line, it is now declared that offers have been rejected 

 and the present owners will continue to operate the plant and 

 business. John M. Emmel of St. Cloud. Minn., is president of the 

 company and Harry Chappie is general superintendent.
