Furniture Making in Brazil 



The American consul at Rio de Janeiro reports that 

 before the European war furniture and other manufactures 

 of wood were imported into Brazil to the value of more 

 than a million dollars annually but now Brazilian and 

 Italian workmen in that country are able w^ith Brazilian 

 w^oods to imitate imported furniture so perfectly that the 

 resulting article is often more beautiful than the model. 



While the Amazon district and the extreme north are 

 famous for their dyewoods and Parana is the home of 

 Brazil's soft w^ood, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are the 

 great woodworking centers. Furniture making in Brazil 

 has now reached the stage w^here its product can compete 

 with the most particular of world markets. In some of 

 the factories the lumber used is all kiln-dried before work- 

 ing. The workshops are equipped w^ith modern machin- 

 ery, including American machines for veneering purposes. 

 The artisans work on the hardest and most beautiful of 

 Brazilian woods; they do hand carving and inlaid work 

 with a w^onderful degree of excellence. Handsome inlaid 

 trays and table tops may be had at a moderate price con- 

 taining twenty or more varieties of wood. "Imbuya " is 

 the finest wood for furniture making. It comes in a large 

 variety of colors and grains, is hard but easily worked and 

 after kiln-drying, is almost indestructible. 



A number of proprietors and foremen in furniture fac- 

 tories have learned their trade in the Lyceo de Arts e 

 Officios, at Sao Paulo, a school that teaches industrial arts 



and manufactures various articles. The students work 

 in the shops for three or more years, then leave to become 

 foremen in other factories or do special order work on 

 their own account. 



There are more than three hundred varieties of woods 

 in the Sao Paulo region alone and as a whole Brazilian 

 forests not only abound in the finest of woods, but are 

 of enormous extent. Except for a few plateaus, the forests 

 of Brazil stretch from the Atlantic to the heights of the 

 Andes. Transportation facilites are developing slovi'ly 

 and the labor supply is a constant problem in every Bra- 

 zilian industry but w^ith its enormous resources Brazil 

 should become one of the w^orld's principal sources of 

 lumber. 



The Evansville Top and Panel factory is situated at 

 W. Florida Street and the I. C. tracks, Evansville. It is of 

 brick construction. The plant has been in operation 

 about tw^o months and employs 125 men. 



O. E. Ellis, treasurer of the concern, is manager. F. W. 

 Bockstege is president, and W. G. Schnute, secretary. 



The company makes tops for dining and library tables, 

 buffets, china closets, chiffoniers, case goods and dressers. 

 It also makes parts for the phonograph industry. Panels 

 and corner edges for the same class of furniture are 

 turned out by the plant. 



The plant has 50,000 feet of floor space, and operates 

 entirely on a ground floor, where various saws and appa- 

 ratus are attached.
