A. E. Tate Gives Interview to News
1paper Man in Washington City.
"a. Tate, of High Point, while
sttena ag the conference of the South
Ern Commercial congress, in Wash
ington, last week gave the following
interview to a representative of the
Washington Herald:
The United States now manufac-
lures furniture far in excess of do
mestic requirements and an outlet
must be found for the surplus which
has grown since the period of post
war activity, said Albert E. Tate, of
the Tate. Furniture company, of High
Point, N. c., when seen at the New
the twelfth annual convention of the
Southern Commercial congress.
During the war and especially fol-
lowing the armistice in 1919 and 1920,
the domestic demand of the furniture
manufacture was. very heavy, new fac
tories were built and the industry
reached an unprecedented develop
ment," Tate explained.
with the return of normal condi-
tions, the 0ihexitable .coro1lary to re-
construction, we must find foreign
markets for these products if we are
to keep these new factories running
and the large forces of men employed.
Tate is one Of the leading furni-
ture manufacturers of High Point, the
North Carolina town which is now
second only to Grand Rapids, Mich,
as a furniture manufacturing center.
The annual output of High Point
factories approximates $4,000, 900,
Tate says. Every type of furniture
is made in this thriving town from the
most elaborate Louis XIV suite to a
plain kitchen table. The town also
boasts a silk mill which manufactures
a variety of textiles.
/" The American public has been edu-
Gated to appreciate fine furniture, ac-
cording to Tate, who says that there is
a growing demand for quality among
furniture buyers in this country.
Immediately after the war there
was a period of furniture buying that
surpassde anything I have seen in my
thirty years in the furniture business y
said Tate.
Everybody was buying furniture
and the demand was for the very best
with little regard for cost. Although
the demand for quality still persists,
the consumer is more cautious today
and wants the less expensive furni-
ture.
Furniture styles have changed
greatly the last generation, Tate says.
First there was the craze for the or
nate, whether beautiful or not: This
was true when mill work first became
possible and most of the furniture
t1rned out was elaborately turned and
rnachin carved-in short, furniture of
the "dust-catching variety, which is
none grata with the modern house
wife.
Then came the reversion to the CO
Ionial. Today, however, Tate says
that. there is little demand for the
heavy and severe lines of the Ameri-
can Colonial. Americans prefer the
light, delicate pieces which are being
reproducerd, mostly in mahogany,
from the elegant lines of Chippendale,
Hepplewhite, Adams and Sheffield.
the English designers who charmed
the court of Queen Anne and of the
Georges with their simple adaptations
of the classical.
In the very expensive grades Tate
says that Italian Renaissance is a
veYy popular period.

WillMr. Cox Remain
on GuilfOrd's Board?
His Appointment to State Highway
Commission Brings Up Question
of Holding Two Offices .

SOAuutASSAOA ~ y QuCSt1O1k
of Holding Two Offices.
The appointment Thursday Off. Ell
wood Cox, of High Point, to the state
highway commission has created con-
siderable comment as to whether or
not he will be able to remain a mem
ber of the Guilford highway commits
sion.
j. N. Wilson, county attorney, de-
clared that he was not in position
to make a definite statement on the
matter, but that. it was his opinion
Mr.. Cox wouldn't be permitted to hold
both positions. The attorneys opinion
seems to be of the off-hand sort of
those interested in the two commits
sions. ~
w. C. Tucker, chairman of the board
of county commissioners, asserted
that in the event Mr.. Cox is forced off
the Guilford commission the board of
commissioners will probably take up
the proposition of choosing his sue
cessor at an early date. Mr.. Tucker
didn't have anyone in mind.
According to the G-ilford highway
act, the commission must be composed
of two Democrats and one Republican.
Mr.. Cox was the Republican member;
so whoever succeeds him must come
from the G. 0. P. and probably from
High Point.
The High Point man was considered
one of the strong men of the Gull
ford commission. He was peculiarly
qualified for the position, being a
banker, and, therefore, acquainted
with finances, adm moreover, he was
well posted on the county's road sys-
tenn. Those discussing the matter
agree that his shoes will be hard to
fill.
While nothing positive has been an
nounced as to when the highway COM
mission will begin operations in the
county, it is expected that work will
be planned and gotten under way this
summer. Numerous neighborhoods in
the county are clamoring for relief in
the way Of road improvements.

More Loss Than Gain.

Beef cattle on farms lost in average
value per head from January 1, 1919,
to January /, 1921, all that they gain
ed during the participation of the
United States in the World War and
more than half as much again, accord
ing to the Bureau of Crop Estimates,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The loss occurred mostly in 1920.
This has been established beyond
doubt doubt by the recent annual in
vestigation of prices of farm animals
per head made by the bureau. The
average price per head, all ages, OF
cattle other than milk cows was 535.9z
in 1917, $44.22 in 1919, and $31.4 in
1921. On January 1, last year, the
farm price was $4.51 below that of
1917, some months before this country
declared war.
In the case of swine on farms, the
average price per head, all ages, de-
clined in the, two years 1919 and 1920,
SO per cent of the gain IN 1917 and
1918, and two-thirds of the decline
was in 1920. s
From 1916 to 1919, the average
farm value of the product of corn per
acre increased from $21.67 to $38.54.
The corn crop of 1920, taking the
average value of the product of one
acre, fell to $2O.9S, and this drop not
only wiped out the gain Of the pre-
ceding three years but perceptibly ex-.
ceeded it. The commonly used per-
centage of decline since the break in
price began, fails to discover this fact,
because the percentage of q decline
from higher number is not compar-
able with percentage of gain during
the preceding years which is based on
a comparatively low number.
