J. T. Ryan of the Southern Furniture Manufacturers Association spoke to the Rotary Club about current conditions in the furniture industry and a forecast for the postwar period. He noted 1941 output reached a record level, 25 percent above 1929, and that demand for war materials may shift plants away from furniture though production stayed high in early 1942.
