Evansville and Other Woodworking Plants on 

 Low Production 



Many of the owners of wood consuming manufacturing 

 plants in Evansville and other towns in this section of the 

 country are curtailing their business at the present time 

 and how long this ■wiU continue is of course a matter of 

 .speculation. Some of the plants are running with short 

 force vkfhile others are running on reduced hours. Indica- 

 tions are that this condition will continue for several weeks 

 yet, or until after the first of the coming year. Furniture 

 manufacturers say that their curtailment is due to the fact 

 that business has suffered a slump and they do not vi^ant to 

 go ahead and fill their warehouses vi^ith furniture that 

 may not be sold for many months to come. The plant of 

 the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company, the largest 

 plant of its kind in this section of the country, is now being 

 operated on a schedule of thirty-tw^o hours a week, when 

 ordinarily at this time of the year, the factory is running 

 on an average of fifty hours a week. The plant of the 

 Hercules Gas Engine Works here, has closed down in- 

 definitely owing to the fact that business has been very 

 slack with the company for the past several weeks. The 

 plant will be repaired and overhauled and will not start up 

 again until the demand for gas engines picks up some. 

 The large plant of the Hercules Buggy Company is run- 

 ning with less than 500 men now whereas they employ at 

 normal times as high as 2,000 men. Many of the other 

 furniture factories of the city, along with chair, table and 



desk factories, are being operated on an average of thirty- 

 six hours a week. The plant of the Von Behren Manu- 

 facturing Company is being operated on about 70 per cent 

 of its normal time. Manufacturers say there is a slacken- 

 ing up in business in many lines and that things will have 

 to run their course and that they do not expect to see 

 trade normal for some time to come. Veneer manufac- 

 turers in Evansville as well as those at Owensboro, Ky., 

 Henderson, Ky., Tell City, Ind., and Jasper, Ind., have 

 had a very prosperous year but they say they are looking 

 for trade to be rather dull the balance of the year. 



The Kreiter Piano Mfg. Company of Milwaukee, which 

 maintains its factory in Marinette, is increasing its output 

 because of a revival in export demand. Four carloads of 

 instruments were shipped about the middle of November 

 to the Atlantic seaboard for delivery in Barcelona, Spain, 

 Constantinople, Turkey, Sydney, Australia, and Manila, 

 P. I. The Kreiter company maintains agencies in each of 

 these centers. The Marinette factory makes its own cases 

 and other wooden supplies. In fact, it located its works 

 at this point in order to be in close proximity to the timber 

 supply. 



The Grant Furniture Company of Racine is planning 

 the erection of a new factory costing about $60,000. It 

 will be three stories high, 80 by I 20 feet in size, and is to 

 be ready early in the coming Spring. The architect is 

 David R. Davis of Racine.
