 are established for January markets. It is with the hope that 

 factories will close their books and ascertain their actual overhead 

 expense that the following resolution was adopted by the meeting 

 for the consideration of manufacturers of furniture: 



"The National Council of Furniture Associations having in 

 mind the great importance to the furniture manufacturing 

 industry of just and equitable prices recommends to all 

 branches of the industry and to the individual members there- 

 of that they ascertain the net results of the present year's 

 business and that prices for the January market be estab- 

 lished with a full knowledge of whatever gains or losses may 

 have been disclosed thereby." 



The nominating committee in rendering its report recommended 

 the re-election of the present officers. The meeting enthusiastically 

 endorsed that action by electing the following to serve as officers 

 for the ensuing year: 



Chairman: Ashton P. Derby. Gardner. Mass. 

 Vice-chairman: George G. Whitworth. Grand Rapids. Mich. 

 Secretary-treasurer: J. T. Ryan. High Point. N. C.
