Hercules to Make Furniture 



Announcement was made a few days ago by the Hercules Cor- 

 poration at Evansville, hid., that it will start the manufacture 

 of furniture. Orders for such additional machinery that w^ill be 

 needed have been placed and it is expected that the company 

 will be able to start making furniture within ninety days. The 

 company will confine its activities along this line to the making 

 of bed room suites and five or six styles of moderately priced suites 

 will be manufactured. Later on the corporation may add more 

 lines, it is said. The company is going in for quantity production 

 and the products turned out will be ready for the mid-year market 

 expositions. With the large woodworking departments that the 

 Hercules Company already has it will not be necessary to install 

 much additional machinery. The company originally started as 

 a buggy factory and this plant is one of the largest in the Middle 

 West. Several years ago the company started to manufacture gas 

 engines on a large scale and about a year ago they began the man- 

 ufacture of automobiles. The company sells many of its products 

 to a large mail order house in Chicago.
