L. C. Bump 



[Cifntiuui'd from imi/i 44) 



[lositiou he held until 1902, the year in wliieh he died. 



The present Mr. Bump was educated in the Brandon public schools 

 rind Xorwich X'niversity, graduating from the latter as a civil engi- 

 neer in 180S. He followed this jirofcssion until 1901, when he en- 

 tered the emjiloyuient of the Xewton & Thompson company as an 

 extra foreman, and was shifted from department to deimrtnicnt as 

 the occasion arose. 



But Mr. Bump's aec|Uaintance with tlie factory hcgan much sooner 

 than this. During both his grammar school and college days he spent 

 his vacations working about the plant and learned to opi'rate prac- 

 tically every machine there. He also acquired considerable exjie- 

 rience working in the woods. 



In 1904 he became a meml)t'r of the ccuiijtany, entering the con- 

 cern as vice-president. He held this position until .\ngust .">. 19u.'. 

 when he became president and general nianager, the position which 

 he now holds. 



When the Xational -Association of Wood Turners was formed in 

 June, 1919, at the Hotel Mc.\lpin in New York, Mr. Bum)) was 

 chosen president. He was reidected at the first annual meeting of 

 this associ:ition held in Niagara Falls, .Tune l.T, 1920, and again 

 rei'lected at the annual meeting ludd in Washington, D. ('., in .June, 

 1921. 



H. If. Steinnian 



Ml'. Sti-innian has always liked the furniture luisiuess and as a 

 result has given it close attention and put in numberless hours of 

 overtime. His father, Lewis Y^. Steinnian, was a furniture manufac- 

 turer, and began the wholesale manufacture of this product in ]8.")0 

 wlien he built a brick factory, with steam eipiipment, on West ."^ixth 

 street, near Baymiller street, in Cinciiinati. This factory rcin.iiiicd 

 a landmark in that section of Cincinnati up to 190.1. 



Tlie elder Steinnian w.-i.s so devoted to his liusiness that hi' luiilt 

 a small residence near the factory, so that Mr. Steinnian was cer- 

 tainly reared in the atmosphere of the f.ictory. .\s soon as he was 

 old enough he spent his vaeations working .it the factory. When 

 lu' was fourteen his fatlier conceived the idea that he ought to get 

 some e.xjierience working for strangers and he got liini a .job with 

 what was then the largest hardware house in the west, .1. L. Wayne 

 & Son. The young fellow remained with this firm four years, during 

 which he not only learned .a great deal about the hardware busi- 

 ness, but went to night scho(d ami to a night business college. 



Tn the fall of 1872 he went to work with his father's firm, Stein- 

 m;in, Meyer & Company, and he learned the l)usiiiess from cutting 

 room to oflice. Wli^'ii in IST.! the firm was incorporated he had the 

 practical and thorough knowledge of the business which enabled 

 him to assume the virtual management of the selling end of the 

 business. His father retired at that time and he bought a fifth 

 interest in the new company, making a cash payment on his interest 

 out of funds lie had saved. Tlic rest he paid for out of savings from 

 his future earnings. Then followed three or four years of road expe- 

 rience. 



It is characteristic of Mr. Steinm:in 's devotion to his business 

 that when in 1889 he took his first vacation from liusiness and went 

 to the Paris Exposition, he did not fail to make a study of European 

 furniture manufacturing organizations. Accompanied by a Wm. 

 Howells, at that time a well-known southern furniture salesman, he 

 spent four months in Europe, visiting the exjiosition and a number 

 of the various countries. 



In 1904 Mr. Steinm;in caused the location of his company's plant 

 to be changed from West Sixth street to the present location on 

 West York street. In the change the equipment necessary to meet 

 the ever-growing competition was acquired. 



Mr. Steinman has been a member of the Cincinnati Furniture Ex- 

 change since its organization and was president of that organization 

 for two terms. He is a member of the Xational Alliance of Case 

 Goods Manufacturers and a member of the executive committee.
