iture, placed themselves in the hands Of
their creditors the Orchard g. Wilhelm
company OF Omaha, secured a large por-
tion OF the finished product on hand

In the opinion OF the trade. the Cowan
factory is not likely to operate again and
as n result this well known line OF bed
room, diningroom. and library furniture
viii probably disappear from the market.
The Cowan trade mark has always
stood for the very finest in furniture
production. and the company long was
recognized as being among the leaders
OF makers OF high grade mahogany
furniture In America.
The Orchard a Wilhelm company made
their big purchase at an advantageous
