AOAAAAAAAAAANN %CeA1 ~
Mayor George Welch Of
Grand Rapids explains that
metal working plants in that
area had been harder hit than
the furniture industry - and
that even in the furniture
trade, it was the upholsterers
and the spring manufacturers
who were idle because of a
shortage of leather, the ban on
steel springs, and other such
shortages. Most of the big
furniture companies were still
busy, and some were already at
work on glider contracts.
NEARBY CITIES CALLED IN
However. Mayor WEIGH agreed
that il would look bad" If Grand
Rapids didn't respond, and Joseph
Griswold, executive of the big
Widdicomb Furniture Co, was
asked 10 line up bidders and stir
up interest.
All companies were contacted
and officials of Ia plants in the
surrounding cities of Holland
Grand Ledge. Sturgis, Charlotte
etc, were called IN.
There was a better attendance
at the second meeting. and How
ington described six pieces OF de-
sired furniture and cited the
prices at which they were being
purchased in other sections OF the
country.
Again interest Jagged VIII en-
those present discovered that
prices reflected low wage scales
paid by southern manufacturers.
And again there was an appeal
BY Mayor Welsh not to upset
the plan.
eff YOU turn this business
down." he says he told them,
swell never get any other con-
tracts here. Think of other In
dustries."
They submitted bids, but the
prices were high. How the final
prices were arrived al seems to
be something of mystery.
DENY BIDS AVERAGED
Government officials claim they
took the furniture mems own bids
and averaged them This IS uni
versally denied by the furniture
men.
Said Frank Seidman of Seidman
& Seidman, accountants, and an
international authority on the
furniture industry:
"The prices were set by
FPHA. Those contracts were for
the most part taken by furni-
ture men who feared they would
be accused of lack Of patriot
ism"
At the time OF the negotiations,
Seidman was serving with WIPE.
Finally. both sides concede, q
Is per cent differential was added
TO the prices 20 help adjust them

even so. one furniture manufac-
turer predicted that they'd lose
