Evansville Plans Bigger Furniture Market 



The Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association has decided 

 to hold its semi-annual furniture and stove market at Evansville, 

 Ind., during the week extending from April 3 to 8, and indications 

 are that the market will be largely attended and a success in every 

 way. This will be the third market given by the Evansville asso- 

 ciation and each one has been a little larger than the one preceding. 

 The market will be held in three buildings and in addition to the 

 Evansville rrianufacturers, there will be exhibits from Tell City, 

 Ind., Ferdinand, Ind., Owensboro, Ky., Henderson, Ky., Indianapo- 

 lis, Louisville, Cleveland, Grand Rapids, Chicago, Nashville, Con- 

 nersville, Ind., Shelbyville, Ind., Memphis and many other points. 

 The Evansville retail merchants will co-operate with the Evansville 

 furniture manufacturers in making the market a success next 

 spring. Invitations will be sent out by the executive committee and 

 John C. Keller, secretary of the association, within a few days to 

 retailers in Canada, Mexico, Cuba, and some of the Latin American 

 republics. George E. Reichmann, manager of the Evansville Fur- 

 niture Company, has been chosen as head of the market commit- 

 tee and he will devote much of his time from now on to the work. 

 H. L. Goth has been selected to head the advertising committee. 

 A great deal of advertising matter setting forth Evansville's advan- 

 tages as a furniture market, will be sent out in a few days. The 

 Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association has re-elected 

 Edwin Karges, of the Karges Furniture Company, as president for 

 the ensuing year. He has served in this capacity during the past 

 year and has made a splendid executive. E. K. Scherer tas been 

 re-elected vice-president and E. A. Schor has been re-elected treas- 

 urer. It is expected that the board of directors will re-elect John C. 

 Keller as secretary and traffic manager for the ensuing year. Di- 

 rectors for the year have been chosen as follows: Elmer C. Schu, 

 C. B. Noelting, Edward W. Ploeger and Edward D. Wemyss. The 

 past year has shown some improvement in business with the Evans- 

 ville furniture manufacturers and they are hoping that this year will 



show a marked gain in trade over 1921. They believe that the 

 forthcoming market will have a stimulating effect on the retail 

 trade in the west. 



Underwood Company Preparing to Enter Large 

 New Timber Holdings 



The Underwood Veneer Company of Wausau, Wis., which will 

 complete its logging operations at Wolf River, five miles from Cran- 

 don. Wis., at the close of this season, is preparing to enter a new 

 territory at Rollingstone Lake, Wis., where it owns and controls 

 approximately one hundred million feet of standing timber, cover- 

 ing nine thousand acres. Much of the timber is hardwood and 

 hemlock and will keep the mills and plant supplied for many 

 years to come. 



The Badger Show Case Company, 1 33 North Pearl Street, Green

 which recently damaged the building, equipment and stock about 

 $3,500. The concern has orders which will keep the plant busy 

 at full capacity until May I.
