Hoosier chair factory plans loom in Jasper
The Jasper Desk Co. buys eleven acres by Eighth Street near the Electric Light plant as a first step toward a $100,000 office chair factory. Louis P. Joseph says local capital will be preferred but foreign funds may be sought if needed and that production could yield 50,000 chairs yearly from scrap stock. Indiana census figures show 31 cities above 10,000 population in 1920 with dozens of auto and hardware businesses listed. The piece also notes political jibes about eggs and corn and recounts a detailed report from the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society meeting in Cannelton, praising views, speakers, and the park donation idea.
