 that his eastern business had fallen flat and that he was forced to 

 seek new fields in order to keep his plant running. He had found 

 orders among the smaller furniture dealers in the small towns 

 which his salesmen did not customarily visit, for these small dealers 

 had during the period of rush in 1919 and 1920 not been able to 

 get merchandise and were all but cleaned out. It was the turn of 

 the little fellows to laugh, too. because when business was rushing 

 the salesmen passed them by in order to get to the big fellows. 

 Now they are combing the highways and byways in search of 

 orders of whatever size they may be able to get and are thankful 

 for the small favors as well as for the large. 



.And e:o there is little just row to cheer about in the furniture 

 business. The outlook of July has not been maintained. The 

 most that can be said of it is that manufacturers are hopeful that 

 they will be able to keep running until the first of the year and 

 that at that time conditions will have become sufficiently stabilized 

 to result in generous orders in the January market. 



Furniture Man Shoots Himself 



Herbert C. Dietz, 38 years old, second vice-president of the 

 J. F. Dietz Company, office furniture manufacturers, whose plant 

 is located at 485 1 Spring Grove avenue, Cincinnati. O., was found 

 dead with a bullet wound in his head at the home of a friend with 

 whom he made his home for the past month. Relatives and business 

 associates said that Mr. Dietz brooded deeply over the loss of his 

 mother, who died three years ago. and believe this prompted him 

 to end his life. The J. F. Dietz Company is one of the oldest estab- 

 lishments of its kind in this section of the country and Mr. Dietz 

 was responsible in a large measure for its wonderful growth during 

 the past fifteen years.
