Evansville Furniture Plants Busy 



Furniture manufacturers at Evansville, Ind., continue to take 

 an optimistic view of the situation and believe that it is only a 

 question of time until there is a big improvement in trade. Most 

 of the large furniture, chair, desk and table factories of that city 

 are still being operated on an average of 50 hours a vi'eek or 

 more. A few days ago the plant of the Wemyss Furniture Com- 

 pany started to run on a 54 hours basis. Edward Wemyss, man- 

 ager of the company was in the Chicago market and secured a 

 nice line of orders, most of them being from the east and as soon 

 as he returned to Evansville he gave orders for the plant to work 

 54 hours a week. Things are now humming at this plant. The 

 other Evansville manufacturers who secured business at the Chi- 

 cago market are speeding up their plants and turning out the 

 furniture in order to fill orders promptly. 



The Evansville manufacturers are looking forward to their semi- 

 annual stove and furniture market that will be held August 29 to 

 September 3, and they believe that the sales will be quite satis- 

 factory and that the retail trade will be greatly stimulated by 

 the holding of this market. The committee on arrangements is 

 now busy sending out literature advertising the market. 



The European market for desks made in Evansville is show- 

 ing decided signs of revival, according to officials of the Globe- 

 Bosse-World Furniture Company, which ships its product world 

 wide. Early in the year the factory had a brisk demand from 

 London, but the unfavorable status of the foreign exchange has 

 been holding the foreign demands in check, the officials say. 

 With solution of the war debt payment problem seemingly nearer, 

 foreign buyers are again evincing an interest in United States 

 made goods, it is pointed out. In shipping desks to Europe, the 

 desk factory at Evansville ships them in sections, or knock-down 

 form. About 200 desks can be shipped in this form in a single car. 



.Announcement was made a few days ago to the effect that 

 Harry W. Sabel, who for a number of years has been secretary 

 and manager of the Evansville Furniture Company, has resigned 

 and had gone to Louisville, Ky., where he had purchased the plant 

 of the Evansville Box and Crate Company. He has taken charge 

 of this company and will move his family from Evansville to 

 Louisville at a later date. 



Work is progressing nicely on the new plant of the Caldemeyer 

 Furniture Company at Evansville. This is a new concern for that 

 city and is composed of Evansville capitalists. .Although it will 

 be the smallest furniture factory in Evansville. quality products 

 are to be manufactured there. It is expected that the plant will 

 be in operation within a short time. 



George O. Worland, manager of the Evansville Veneer Com- 

 pany is of the opinion that the fall will bring in a larger volume 

 of business than the summer months have. He says the fur- 

 niture trade is going to get better and this will naturally help 

 the veneer business to a large extent. The plant of the Evansville 

 Veneer Company is increasing its yardage and has enough logs in 

 the yard at the present time to cut 100,000,000 square feet of 

 veneer. 



Leaves $5,000 for a Fountain 



The will of Julius Joseph, a furniture manufacturer at Shelby- 

 ville, !nd., who died a few weeks ago, w-as recently probated in 

 the Shelby Circuit Court. The estate is estimated to be worth 

 $150,000. The bulk of the estate is bequeathed to his widow, 

 Mrs. Millie Kahn Joseph, with the exception of several be- 

 quests to public institutions, the largest of which is for S5,000 for 

 the erection of a fountain to be known as Joseph's fountain which 

 the municipal corporation of Shelbyville is to erect in the center 

 of the public square.
