Evansville Woodworking Plants Speed Up 



The furniture factories and other woodworking plants at 

 Evansville, Ind., that have been either closed down for 

 the past several months or have been running on part 

 time, are arranging to operate on better schedule and the 

 manufacturers say that by the first of April things 

 probably will be normal once more. The plants of the 

 Wemyss Furniture Company and the Crown Chair Com- 

 pany started working on Monday, January 3 1 , after an 

 idleness of several months and there was joy among the 

 workers w^hen the factory whistles blew once more. The 

 Wemyss plant is employing about 1 00 men, while more 

 than 50 operatives are w^orking at the Crown Chair Com- 

 pany's plant. These two factories will add more to their 

 force as business increases. The Never-Split Seat Com- 

 pany, that has been operating on a 50 per cent basis, 

 started running full time a few days ago and gave em- 

 ployment to eighty-five men. The plant of the Imperial 

 Desk Company now is working w^ith about 1 50 men 

 forty-five hours a w^eek. The four Klamer furniture fac- 

 tories are running thirty-six hours a week. The plant of 

 the Karges Furniture Company is working 1 55 men thirty 

 hours a w^eek. The Globe-Bosse-World Furniture Com- 

 pany is operating tw^o of its plants four days a w^eek and 

 the other tw^o five days a week w^ith a force slightly under 

 normal. The plant of the Furniture Company is being 

 operated four days a week w^ith a force of 125 men. The 

 plant of the P. H. Reddinger Company is operating about 

 one-third of its normal force now. The outlook for the 

 Evansville plants is much brighter now than three months 

 ago, according to the leading furniture manufacturers of 

 that city. 



Oscar A. Klamer, head of four furniture factories in 

 Evansville, is being mentioned by some of his friends as a 

 candidate for the republican nomination for mayor in the 

 city primaries that will be held in May. Mr. Kramer has 

 been an active leader in the republican party for a number 

 of years. Mayor Benjamin Bosse, head of the Globe- 

 Bosse-World Furniture Company, also head of a dozen or 

 more large industries here, is expected to make the race 

 for mayor again on the democratic ticket. He is serving 

 his third term. In the event that he does not care to make 

 the race again, there is some talk of Daniel Wertz, presi- 

 dent of the Maley & Wertz Lumber Company, w^ho has 

 been a member of the city school board for the past two 

 years.
