 factory housing the machinery escaping damage. Alex .Alexander, presi- 

 dent of the company, recently sold the building and real estate, but was 

 intending to continue operations in the plant. 



Furniture prices throughout the country should range one-third lower 

 than they were six months ago, Ed Shower.s of Bloomington, Ind.. said 

 recently. He is president of the Showers Brothers' Company, which has 

 factorie.s at Bloomington and In Burlington. la., and which brings its lum- 

 ber direct from the forests by a systematic transportation system. "It is 

 unwise to believe that furniture can stand out as an exception and not 

 participate fully in the worldwide decline of commodity prices," Showers 

 said. "Values must be stabilized on very much lower levels even if neces- 

 sary, temporarily at least to disregard profits. The manufacturer. Show- 

 ers said, should fix prices now, anticipating enough that no changes will 

 be neces.sary for at least six months, which would stabilize the price level 

 and restore public confidence. These two factors are necessary, he said, 

 for a revival of trade.
