Evansville Plants Resume Work 



With the opening of the New Year prospects for the 

 resumption, partially at least, of the several large wood- 

 working plants of Evansville, Ind., were quite evident. 

 For the past three or four months many of the furniture 

 factories in that city have been operating about three 

 days a week, while the other woodworking plants have 

 done a little better, the manufacturers contending that 

 there was no demand for their products. The large plant 

 of one furniture company resumed operation on Jan. 3 

 with a fair force of men on hand. It was expected that 

 the plants of the Karges Furniture Company would start 

 operations some time before Jan. 10. Peter H. Red- 

 dinger also announced that he would start his furniture 

 factory about Jan. 1 with a limited force of men. The 

 Wemyss furniture factory started up Jan. 3. The large 

 factory of the Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Company is 

 scheduled to start up Jan. 1 0. This is one of the largest 

 factories of its kind in the state. The plant of the Her- 

 cules Buggy Company resumed operations on Jan. 3. 

 Oscar A. Klamer, who is the head of the Klamer-Goebel 

 Furniture Company, the O. A. Klamer Furniture Com- 

 pany, the Schelosky Table Company and the Wertz- 

 Klamer Furniture Company, has announced that the four 

 plants will be started early in January. These four fac- 

 tories employ a large number of men. In an interview 



given out, Mr. Klamer said among other things: "It is 

 not a question of cutting wages of our men at this time, 

 but it is absolutely necessary to make a readjustment, 

 which most of the manufacturers all over the United 

 States have done and in many instances at the request 

 of their employes. The furniture business today is at a 

 standstill. I have visited the largest buyers from New 

 York to Denver during the last month and one-half and 

 they are all of the one opinion — that their stocks of mer- 

 chandise must be reduced and furniture must be offered 

 to the trade at less money." 



American Will Develop Mahogany Region 



It is reported from Philadelphia that large Aniorican fniaiieial 

 interests are arranging to start the exploitation of mahogany 

 and other timber areas in Mexico in the near future. One of the 

 largest of these projects is the Chiapas Timber & Chicle Company 

 of Philadelphia, a holding cojnpany for the properties of the Tropi- 

 cal Trading Company and the Compania Exporadora del Sureste, 

 both of which have been chartered under Mexican laws. This com- 

 pany will cut mahogany logs for shipment to the United States. 



Juan O. Eamos of Philadelphia, owner of large tracts of mahog- 

 any and other timber lands in Mexico, accompanied by Lawrence 

 Sharpies, a son of P. M. Sharpies, banker and business man of West 

 Chester, Pa., and C. J. Kammer, member of the iirm of Lewis 

 Thompson Co., of Philadelphia, lumber manufacturers and dealers 

 in mahogany, arc now in Mexico to complete details for the project.
