. e. demand for good Gasoline is
expected ... that’s one reason
“Most of the hardwoods used in manufacturing1
furniture in the United States are found in Texas
forests, and nearly all of the Texas hardwoods are used
to some extent in the manufacture of furniture or for
interior finishing. The principal Texas woods of inter-
est to the furniture industry are ash, beech, gum, and,
several varieties of red oak and white oak. * Birch and
white oak, close-grained and capable of taking a good
finish, are widely used in the manufacture of furniture
and novelty wares. Beech, which is found in commer-
cial quantities in most of the Southern States, has an
important place in furniture manufacture; coming
from both Texas and Louisiana, forests, this wood is
used in large quantities by Texas furniture manufac-
turers. A large part of the medium-priced .furniture is
produced from gum. This wood takes a good finish and
is especially adaptable for use in manufacturing imi-
tation woods; it is sufficiently, hard for all furniture
purposes and at the same time is easily worked on ma-
chines. Most of the large hardwood mills in East Tex-
as produce gum lumber, large amounts of which are
used by the State’s furniture industry- According to
Mrs. Lewis’s report for the Texas Bureau of Business.
Research, “One Texas factory produced approximately .
25,000 suites of bedroom and dining room furniture
during 1986, or nearly one hundred suites each work-
ing day, using mostly gum and beech lumber from
Louisiana and Texas forests.”
“That much furniture—produced, remember, by
one Texas factory—is enough to impress the layman,
but it represents only the barest fraction of the amount
of furniture sold in Texas eavery year. Eight hundred
and fifty-nine retail furniture stores in the State re-
ported sales of $30,315,000 in 1935. In the same year
788 household appliance and radio stores in Texas re-
ported retail sales of 117,726,000, and other home fur-
nishing stores reported sales of 81,938,000; part of the
sales of these stores unquestionably consisted of house-
hold furniture. These figures give an idea of the im-
mense outlet Texas offers for furniture. And yet the
value of products turned out by Texas furniture fac-
tories in 1935 was but 88,686,522, with the value added
by manufacture being placed at $1,992,387.
“Some furniture manufacturing is carried on in
virtually every State in the Union, but eleven States ac-
count for most of the production. These eleven States,
ranking as listed in value of products, are New York,
North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, Virginia, Pennsyl-
vania, Michigan, California, Ohio, Massachusetts, and
Wisconsin. "North Carolina and Virginia alone pro-
duced almost half of the bedroom and dining room fur-
niture consumed in the United States last year, while
the Sooth as a whole produced more than 25 per cent .
of the wooden household furniture manufactured in the
country. Ovbiously, this industry is an important fac-
tor in the economic life of the South, and there is cer-
tainly no reason why it should not be further develop-
ed in Texas: As a matter of fact, there are some quite
valid reasons why it should be further developed, since
the sources of raw material and the facilities for distri-
bution are two of the most important points to be con-
sidered in the possible location of the industry.
“All in all, it may be said conservatively that pos-
sibilities for the further development of furniture man-
ufacturing in Texas are. highly favorable. As was
pointed ot in the beginning of this article, construc-
tion of new homes accelerates the manufacture and sale
of furniture.. Furniture manufacturers are profiting
by what might be called at least a mild building boom.
In fact, they say that the industry made profits in
1985 for the first time since 1928, and present indica-
tions are that it will show a larger profit this year than
in either 1935 or 1986. Production of the larger factor-
ies has been increased considerably during the last two
years. Factories that were closed have been reopened
in many cases, and some new plants have been put into
operation. Texas is making more furniture than it has
for a number of years. It is not making nearly enough,
however, to supply its own needs, much less the needs
of that Southwestern territory which may be said to be
Its natural market.
“Before there can be development of a kind com-
mensurate with the opportunity, there must be a great-
er demand for Texas-made furniture—or at the least
an open-minded attitude toward it. This is, of course,
but one phase of the larger problem: that of bringing
about in Texas a widespread recognition of the fact
that many products now supplied by outside sources
can be made just as efficiently in Texas as anywhere
else, without any sacrifice of quality. It is, in short, a
part of the problem of convincing Texans that Texas
manufacturers ask only that their products be given an
even break with the products of out-of-State manufac-
turers. That, surely, is not too much to ask. Willing-
ness to give that even break necessarily must precend
extensive development of the furniture industry in
Texas," 1L .
alr-fiiled tirez, promised to over-
come many handicaps, and Good-
year, As always, took a lead in
developing this kind of tire for
truck use. Today, the Goodyear
truck tire is a marked improve-
ment over those offered, even five
years ago, and so pronounced is
the advancement over the pneu-
matic'truck tires offered during
the first few years of their rise
to general use, that we can hard-
ly picture the satisfaction that
truck owners must have gained
from being able to secure what
was then a marked advancement
over the old solid rubber tires,’'
Mr. Rogers said.
“Following years of develop-
ment and progress made by the
Goodyear people, they came out
in March of this year with the
new famous XKL truck tire, built
with Rayotwist and designed for
use on trucks carrying heavy
loads at sustained speeds over
long distances. The mileage be-
ing secured on this, and other
popular Goodyear Truck tires, is
almost unbelievable as compared
to mileage secured from a truck
tire 15 years ago. And, it is my
observation, that the diligence
used by Goodyear in constantly
seeking new developments, will
resut in truck and passenger car
tires alike, that will yield even
greater mileage, and continue to
reduce the cost per tire-mile" Mr.
Rogers said.
“When people have used Good-
year tires for year*, and repeat-
edly equip their cars and trucks
with them, it is the best evidence
of owner-satisfaction that can be
secured,” Mr. Rogers went on to
say “and the figures released by
the Goodyear factory are taken
from records of their shipments
to dealers, which show that
“more people ride on and more
' hauling is done on Goodyear Tires,
, than any other kind,” he conclud-
ed. •

TEXAS AS A FURNITURE STATE
---—,
A revival of building in the United States is
seen by Booth Mooney, writing in “The Texas
Weekly” as the forerunner of a boom in furniture
manufacturing. Mr. Mooney, versatile writer,
points out the advantages Texas has to offer in
making long strides as a furniture manufacturing
State. This is the second part of this article, the
first part appearing on this page Monday:
