 Circassian walnut furniture now^. Louis XVI, French, Chippen-

On account of the success of the initial show^ the Evansville 

 manufacturers have practically decided that it will be repeated 

 every six months and the next show^ w^ill be held in possibly the 

 latter part of September or the early part of October. 



One of the leading manufacturers of veneers in Evansville made 

 the following report to Hardwood Record on the success of the 

 market: 



"Have talked over the matter of the Evansville Furniture Mar- 

 ket w^eek w^ith quite a number of the exhibitors and all report the 

 show as being a decided success. The attendance has been all 

 that was expected. The visitors express surprise at the variety 

 and quality of the goods offered and are unlimited in their praise. 



"Quite a lot of new^ styles are offered and are meeting with 

 success. The entertainment has been well received and in con- 

 nection w^ith the show^ a meeting of the Indiana Retail Furniture 

 Dealers' Association was held, ending with a banquet at the Ven- 

 dome Hotel on Thursday evening, April 7. 



Practically all of the exhibitors report themselves well pleased 

 w^ith the sales they are making and the number of new accounts 

 they are putting on their books. 



"If for no other reason than the publicity that the show is 

 giving to Evansville-made goods, it w^ould be a huge success." 



The Wabash Cabinet Company, at Wabash, Ind., has begun 

 w^orking part time and expects to be in full operation by May, ac- 

 cording to the statement made by T. F. Vaughn, president of the 

 company. The plant was closed last November and about 500 

 persons were thrown out of work. 



The Pruitt-Deming Manufacturing Company has been organized 

 at Edinburg, Ind., for the manufacturing of storage battery sepa- 

 rators from veneer. The plant was organized by Deming brothers, 

 living west of Franklin, Ind. The officers are: Maurice Pruitt, presi- 

 dent ; Byron Deming, vice-pres. ; Edw^in Deming, secy.-treas.
