Third Evansville Furniture Market Draws 

 Many Buyers 



The semi-annual furniture market, given under the auspices 

 of the Evansville Furniture Manufacturers' Association, was held 

 at Evansville, Ind., from Monday, April 3, to Saturday, April 8. 

 The death on Tuesday, April 4, of Mayor Benjamin Bosse, presi- 

 dent of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company and formerly 

 president of the National Furniture Manufacturers' Association, 

 threw a damper over the market during the week. Many of the 

 visiting furniture men attended the funeral of Mayor Bosse, which 

 was held Friday afternoon, April 7. 



This was the third market given at Evansville. The first was 

 given in April of last year and the second market was held in 

 October of last year. Exhibits were shown in the large Furniture 

 Exchange Building, also the Klamer Building. Both buildings were 

 filled with all the latest models and styles of furniture. The market 

 was open each day from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock 

 in the evening. On the closing day the exhibits were opened to 

 the public. 



John C. Keller, secretary of the Evansville Furniture Manufac- 

 turers* Association, sent out 23.000 invitations to retail dealers in 

 practically every state in the Union except Nevada and to towns 

 in Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Porto Rico. Among the early vis- 

 itors to the market was A. W. Klinth, secretary of the National 

 Retail Furniture Agency, who said that prospects for furniture 

 selling this year are good with a building boom in progress. The 

 visitors at the market bought liberally from the opening day, as 

 they seemed to realize that furniture prices have become about 

 stabilized. The attendance was quite satisfactory and was as large 

 as at the other two previous markets given in Evansville. There 

 was more demand for furniture made of w^alnut and oak than any 

 other grades. 



Styles in furniture change just as do the styles in clothes. Just 

 now a dining room suite of a combination of "dusty" oak and 

 "dusty" walnut is selling so fast that an Evansville manufacturer 

 stated that they could not be made fast enough, so great was the 

 demand. The combination was reported by the buyers on the mar- 

 ket to be finding favor in all parts of the country. A solid walnut 

 bedroom suite is another exhibit that found great favor on the 

 market. In beds, some remarkable pieces were on display.
