HERE'S SOME OF THE
LATEST •'GOSSIP'' FROM THE
FURNITURE INDUSTRY
We always like to keep you
up - to - date
on news from
the furniture
industry’, and
in this week’s
column we pre
sent some of
the talk we’ve
heard lately at
furniture shows and from
furniture people.
More attention is being giv
en to furniture for rooms oth
er than the living room. This
Is in line with thinking of
leading furniture people who-
’ve said that too many home
makers concentrate only on
their living room and don’t
use enough of their budget for
furnishing other rooms —with
the result that other rooms
are neglected and shabby by
comparison.
The idea of" “furniture on
wheels” is coming on strong.
More manufacturers are put
ting casters on chairs, sofas,
be^ dressers, chest^ tea
carts, etc.
An increasing number of
people now feel that every
home needs a desk of some
kind, either for a child or for
Mom or Dad. There are lots
of new home desks, bedroom
desks and kitchen desks.
Here’s a good design trick
being talked about: Leave one
living room wall completely
undecorated. This can add a
good touch and give an other
wise crowded room a chance
to breathe.

This survey is being taken by and for the Recre
ation Commission of Kings Mountain to determine
the best utilization of present facilities, as well as,
additional recreation needs of the community v •
For example, the first adver
tisement lor telephone service
promised “the transmission of
articulate speech through instru
ments not more than twenty
miles apart. Conversation can te
easily carried on after slight
practice and with the occasional
repetion of a word tor sentence.”
This was about a year before
the time, when, according to Mr,
Watson, “they used to say that
all the farmers waiting in a
country grocery would rush out
and hold their horses when they
I saw anyone preparing to use the
telephone.”
Since then, improvements have
been made which enable tele
phone customers to talk to one
another across country by mere
ly spinning a dial and talking in
a normal tone.
