Evansville Planning for Next Market 



The executive committee of the Evansville Furniture Manufac- 

 turers' Association, of v^^hich Edw^in Karges, of the Karges Fur- 

 niture Company, is the chairman, will hold a meeting v^ithin a short 

 time to fix the dates of the next semi-annual furniture market to 

 be held in Evansville. It is expected the market will be held in 

 either March or April and that it will attract many buyers to Evans- 

 ville from many states in the union and from other countries. The 

 market that w^as started a year ago will be made a permanent one 

 and manufacturers believe that Evansville through this market will 

 become one of the best known furniture manufacturing centers in 

 the United States. 



Rapids Piano Case Company to the Criswell Furniture Company. 

 The Piano Case stock was that held by M. H. Ducey who has 

 managed the company since it was founded about nineteen years 

 ago. Mr. Ducey is retiring from active business in an effort to 

 regain his health. 



The Piano Case Company has been manufacturing piano cases, 

 phonograph cabinets and special contract work and has been not- 

 ably successful. It owns a fine factory building, modern to the 

 last degree. The Criswell Furniture Company began twenty years 

 ago the manufacture of upholstered furniture, but more recently 

 has been engaged in the manufacture of dining room and living 

 room furniture of the highest grade. 



The Criswell Furniture Company in acquiring the stock of the 

 Piano Case Company takes over its factory building and will dis- 

 continue the manufacture of the piano cases and phonograph 

 cabinets and convert the whole plant to the manufacture of furni- 

 ture. 



The Piano Case Company has in its yards something like 1,500.- 

 000 feet of lumber. This is also acquired by the Criswell Furni- 

 ture Company in its purchase. However, the Criswell Furniture 

 Company will be in the lumber market rather more heavily than 

 formerly since it will very largely increase its output and because 

 of the high grade furniture it manufactures w^ill soon be looking 

 for the kind of lumber with which to manufacture it. The com- 

 pany is growing rapidly and at the present time is running to 

 capacitv and one of the reasons it bought the plant of the Piano 

 Case Company was to meet the demands for its product. 



Piano Case Co. Bought by Criswell 



A business transaction of importance made in Grand Rapids 

 recently was the sale of the 75 per cent interest in the Grand 



Dornette Buys Out Son's Interest 



After negotiations which lasted for more than a month, settle- 

 ment has been effected of differences which arose as to the manage- 

 ment of J. Dornette & Bro. Co., Cincinnati, O.. desk manufactur- 

 ers, resulting in John Dornette, Sr.. purchasing the entire interest 

 (573 shares) of John Dornette, Jr. It was announced that the old 

 business will be continued by John Dornette. Sr., and his sons, 

 Edward and Paul, while John Dornette, Jr.. virtually has completed 

 arrangements to enter the desk manufacturing business on his own 

 account upon a large scale. His sons, Clifford and Walter, will be 

 associated with him in the ne\v business and negotiations for a site 

 for the new factory now are pending. 



The Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet Company at Newcastle, Ind., has 

 started to operate on a full schedule of five and one-half days a 

 w^eek and a large number of men have been given employment at 

 the plant. For several months past the company has been run- 

 ning on a three-day a week basis. A few more workmen have been 

 added to the pay roll of the company. 



The plant of the Capital Furniture Manufacturing Company at 

 Noblesville, Ind., which has been. closed down for the past several 

 months on account of the shortage of orders, has resumed opera- 

 tions with a full force of workmen. The concern is owned by Chi- 

 cago capitalists. 



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

 ville, Ind.. returned a few days ago from a business trip to Indian- 

 apolis. 



Henry Lutz. 72 years old, director of the Evansville Table Com- 

 pany at Evansville, Ind., died at his home in that city on Sunday, 

 October 30, his death having been caused from a stroke of paralysis. 

 He had lived in Evansville most of his life. 



Robert R. Williams, president of the Indiana Tie Company at 

 Evansville, Ind.. and head of the Mobile Veneer Works at Mobile, 

 Ala., announced a few days ago that after a shut-dow^n of several 

 months, the Mobile plant is now being operated on two-thirds* 

 time and about fifty men have been given employment. Charles 

 Rogers, a veteran in the veneer business at Evansville, has gone 

 to Mobile to become superintendent of the Mobile X'eneer Works.
