 Dryer, 100 feet long, in the new plant of the Elliott Bay Mill 

 Company at Seattle, Washiiiirton. It dries Eir \'eneer of various

 other method. Coe Lathes, Clippers and Knife Grinders are' used 

 in this plant.

 the Mart's greatest innovation — the Furniture Club, for the com- 

 fort and convenience of buyers and salesmen. It will occupy one- 

 half of the top floor and will have a 60x80 foot lounge, library, 

 smoking room, check room, billiard and card rooms, cafe, cafeteria, 

 private dining and consultation rooms, and wash rooms w^ith 

 show^ers, every convenience offered by a first class club w^ith the 

 single exception of sleeping quarters. 



Members may come direct to the club on arrival in town, check 

 their luggage, wash, breakfast and be ready for the day's work. 

 The club will be open every day of the year, except Sundays and 

 holidays and first class meals will be served. Cafe and cafeteria 

 thro\vn together will seat 1,000 and the kitchen will be adequate 

 to handle banquets of this size. 



There will be three convention halls, one seating 900 people 

 and two seating 300 each. The three may be throw^n together, 

 giving a maximunn capacity of 1,600. 



In offering the American Furniture Mart to the industry the 

 owners are well aware that its success depends largely upon the 

 character of management. Practices inimical to a wholesale 

 market must be eliminated. The excellence of the building and 

 its appointments is of less importance than the standard of busi- 

 ness ethics laid down, as essential to continued occupancy. Firms 

 permitted to exhibit w^ill be only those w^hose selling methods are 

 unquestioned. 



Chicago Leads in Production 



While not a factor in drawing buyers, yet, Chicago's leading 

 position as a furniture manufacturing center makes it a most 

 logical and convenient point for the national market. In 1920 

 Chicago produced furniture to the value of $73,000,000, exclusive 

 of piano and talking machine cases and its nearest competitor 

 produced a total of only $32,000,000. Chicago is so big and its 

 industries so diverse that the furniture industry is but one of many, 

 notwithstanding a total of over 350 furniture manufacturing estab- 

 lishments employing over I 5,000 workers. In a smaller city it 

 would become an outstanding feature. 



Architect Henry Raeder, of Chicago, has drawn the plans for 

 the building and Wells Bros. Construction Company, also of Chi- 

 cago, will put up the building. The building when placed in opera- 

 tion will be managed by William H. Wilson, who is known in 

 furniture circles throughout the country. The information which 

 Mr. Wilson derived after three years' study of the marketing needs 

 of the furniture industry has played a large part in crystallizing the 

 project into its present form. 



Determination of character, size, location and manner of op- 

 eration was based upon the opinion of leading furniture manu- 

 facturers v/hose advice was sought individually and through their 

 associations and to furniture buyers who. individually and through 

 their state and national organizations, endorsed the plan. 



Actual construction only awaits the formal reservation by man- 

 ufacturers of sufficient exhibit space to warrant an investment by 

 capitalists ot six million dollars.
