dens' group of 10 home models, which has been shown
throughout the country, not one house had a real
dining room. The others had combination living room
dining spaces.
Consequently, the emphasis is on ~drop-leaf tables
that are at home in the living room but sturdy enough
to hold table boards at which 10 to IL may be seated
for dinner. Corner cupboards that can be used equally
we'll as china holders or bookcases are featured by one
manufacturer in pearwood, bleached and dark maho-
gany.
This same manufacturer is making only one model
high-legged buffet. "That is for some of our customers
in the East who insist on them. When m~iddle-western-
ers want a full dining room set, they want breaktront
credenza cabinets with enclosed, disable space extend
ing to the floor" a spokesman explained.
The most unusual dining room arrangement at
this showing is one of Turchin and Co. OF New York.
The dining table made entirely of plate glass, fabricat-
ed by the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., is combined with
black lacquered wooden chairs and a chest for linens.
The table alone is priced at $500 retail.
"At that price I think I am one of the few manu-
facturers who did not run into trouble with the O. P.
A." Mr.. Turchin declared, Jumping on the table top to
show his 210 pounds would not break it. my price in
1941 for that table was 5000 because l could turn out
just a few"
Most companies here had plenty of troubles with
the price control agency.

loss for nearly two years. 1t was producing 18th Cen
tury reproduction bedroom sets that required So hand

crease on prices during its dying days.
Other companies whose regulations did not de-
pend on a very few, careful reproductions were able to
get as much as 300 increases by switching to new
lines. Some top grade pieces are showing up mere with
such price tags as $3.50 wholesale for a bookcase and
$3.50 for a dresser.
If price controls stay off or revisions, at least, are
made in computing costs, some good-selling pre-War
pieces that could not be produced profitably will be re-
introduced.
Generally speaking, these fine furniture compan-
les will hold the line prices following the advice of an
officer of the National Association of Furniture Manu-
facturers, Inc. "You may be able to get what you
please now boys; but damn it, don't raise prices"
They don't want to get another black eye like the
one they got in 1920. Then sky-rocketing prices, and
lowering quality, nearly ruined the reputation of these
manufacturers who started coming to Grand Rapids in
the 1905, the age of golden oak, because supplies of
materials were good here.

One plant reports: eve have "a upholsterers now.
Six of them are real craftsmen, about a dozen Will pass,
but the rest have to be watched carefully or they will
butcher the job
To turn out more pieces with available help, lines
have to be shortened. For instance, little bleached
mahogany is being shown because bleaching is a deli
cate operation and time consuming. y:
But even if these plants should suddenly get more
of the right kind of workers, they would still run into
material shortages. Nearly everything that goes into
furniture making is hard to get.
Steel companies, as an example, don't want to
make wire for upholstered furniture springs. They can
make more money supplying spring wire for automo-
bile seats.
Supplies of top grade leather for covering sofas
and chairs, and for tops of occasional tables, almost
dried up when cattle flooded into the black market.
Illegal meat operators couldn't take the risk of getting
caught by sending the hides to any of the relatively
few tanneries.
The same thing happened to cattle manehair used
for stuffing cushions of best quality furniture. 1t won't
mat like cotton filters but it costs 1919 to 25% more per
davenport or chair to use it.
The one bright spot in the supply picture for sofas
and chairs is textiles. Statesmen are actually coming
to US With fabrics to sell for the first time in several
years." a spokesman for Baker Furniture, Inc, re-
marked. "Our customers will get a good selection Of
colors and materials"
Another manufacturer said he thinks it is about
time. With the increases they got under the O. F. A,
amounting to more than 25% over 1941 prices, textile
producers ought to start turning out plenty of fabrics,
he declared.
Makers of bedroom furniture are plagued by
SHORTAGES of hardWood-both solid lumber and ply
wood.
There will be enough mahogany for veneers and
solid pieces, producers say, if furniture production does
not go up sharply.
George N. Lamb, secretary of the Mahogany AS
ISOLATION, Inc. has warned furniture manufacturers
this years crop is not as large as those OF the war
years. It is now being floated down the rivers OF
Central America to the sea for import into the States.
Not only did PIT boats and aircraft take nearly all
the mahogany that came in during the emergency, but
the nations stockpile of 20 million to rs million feet
was also used up. it has not been rebuilt.

BUYERS A THE
GRAND RAPIDS MART

AVNSS6 = . IS - NASs ~
The fine furniture market this year probably will
be able to take care of only about one person in every
ten who wants to buy.
That's the opinion of some manufacturers in this
city, the nations number one producer OF high quality
upholstered items, bedroom and dining room sets, and
occasional pieces.
Furniture makers are carefully stretching slim
supplies of labor and materials to approach, and in
some cases exceed, their unit volume in 1941. That
year they came close to producing as much as IN the
big 1929 year. But greatly increased calls for every
thing they can turn out is ~dwarfing the ability of these
master craftsmen to produce.
The hope of getting more goods has brought furni-
ture buyers pouring into Grand Rapids for the sum-
mer markets which end tomorrow. The hotel room Sit
uation here now is as tight as the covers on the manu-
facturer's scarce chairs. But buyers aren't getting
what they came for.
Merle Williams, president of Berkey and Gay
Furniture Co., which has been producing pieces for
the homemaker with a well-loaded purse since 1856,
describes the outlook this way:
1--WE could ship Sic million of bedroom and dining
room pieces tomorrow if we could manufacture them"
That firms sales in 1871 amounted to $80O,O0O.
A spokesman for Ralph Morse Furniture Co. says
requests for his company's pieces-upholstered sofas
and chairs-are about 10 times what they were pre-
war.
eve sold most of our production for the year last
January" he adds, small additional anotments will
start moving to our customers in October-we hope"

lowed under the O.. P. A., if they are raised at all,
producers say.
Many buyers hoped to pry loose large allotments
with artists sketches of new interiors, b%lueprlnts tor
new stores, and long columns of figures showing a
staggering sales volume which would be obtained easily
were merchandise available. But these inducements
won't help much.
If it were possible, the fine furniture craftsmen
would gladly turn out more pieces. But skilled labor
to increase production is not available. Younger men
prefer the higher salaries paid by metal working plants
in this area even though the work is seasonal and much
harder The average age of the workers at one furnl-
ture plant here is SIS.
Many factories-there are about Is furniture COM
panies in this area-have instituted on-the-job train
ing programs for veterans. But they say it takes two
wears at least before a furniture worker is much good,
and a good cabinet maker or a fine upholsterer must
have a natural aptitude.

period of years from Inland Supply
Co. The automotive supplies and
miscellaneous petroleum products
would be purchased on a competi-
tive price basis and the gasoline
would be purchased on the basis of
a variable margin of not more than
Sc nor less than &c under the pre-
vailing retail pump price at point
Of delivery in the storage tanks OF
the company for regular grade gas
oline. The intent of the contract
in establishing a fluctuating price
rather than the normal method fol-
lowed in the petroleum industry OF
purchasing on the prevailing tank
car or tank wagon price is to
maintain a constant margin OF
profit to the company sufficient to
meet its ordinary expenses of oner-
alton plus a regular and uninter-

livered to its outlets. For such
