Furniture Men
Hail 1859

CHICAGO. Jan. 5 (AP).-
The furniture trade stamps
1859 as "one of the best years"
1t looks ahead to the first
half of 1860 with confidence,
and to the second half with
hope.
The home furnishings shows,
starting January 4 in the Mer-
chandise Mart and American
Furniture Mart, will gauge
business for the year ahead.
Final figures will show that
1859 was one of the best years
in furniture history" said
Frank S. Whiting. president of
the American Furniture Mart.
His statement covered manu-
facturers, distributors and re-
tailers.
The momentum of the fur
niture business. which started
bouncing back from the 1858
recession in April of that year,
will carry well into 1860" Mr..
Whiting predicted.
Trade reports indicated that,
as 1859 entered the Christmas
holiday season, furniture Ship
ments from manufacturing
plants were running Is to 20
per cent ahead of shipments
for the corresponding period
of 1858.
Dealer sales were estimated
at 7 to 8 per cent ahead of the
previous year. inventories have

This will be a big issue before

Redskins Sign
Rockies Eifred
And StaIEings

Although admittedly disap-
pointed in losing Richie Lucas
to the Buffalo Bills of the rival
American Football League, the
Redskins today signed two
rockies who could help the
club in 1860.
Coach Mike Nixon announced
that Tackle Don Stallings, $50
pound North Carolina tackle
and Linebacker Jim Eifred of
Colorado State had agreed IS
terms. Stallings actually was
the teams third draft choice
although it didn't get him until
the fifth round. Eifred was an
1lth-round choice. The club
had traded away its second and
fourth picks.
Nixon expects to announce
more new additions after talk
ing with Assistant Coaches Joe
Tereshinski, Bill McPeak and
Tavern Torgeson, who secuted
bowl games.
The loss of Lucas, Penn State
quarterback and the Redskins
top draft pick, admittedly was
a blow to the teams 1880
hopes. The youngster told the
Associated Press he thought he
would have a better chance
with the Bills, and that he
wanted TO be part of the new
league. With the Redskin.
Lucas would have been triec
as a defensive back, getting 6
shot at quarterback behinc
Eddie LeBaron and RALPH
Guglielmi. He made 1t plair
that he wanted to play quarter
back-period.
Buffalo repeatedly Offered
Lucas a job with a Owne,
Ralph C. Wilson's trucking
firm, plus a $1,000 bonus TO
signing, and a $4,000 annua
salary. The Redskins werl
ready to match this, with al

TEXANS DENY RACIAL CHARGE

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 2 (AP) .
What touched off the SHOW
