JULY BUSINESS GOOD
Furniture Firm’s Experience There is evidence of an improvement in trade, according to the remarks of the principal of one of the leading furniture manufacturers yesterday. “We have not yet got back to profitmaking,” he said, “but the business for July was the best for any month since the beginning of 1931, and seems to indicate that the economic stress is lifting.” He expressed pleasure that efforts were being made to place Southland beech on the English market for furniture making and motor-car bodies. His firm, he said, was one of the first in New Zealand to recognise the merits of New Zealand beech for furniture making, not only for external and polished work, but for framework, owing to its durability, strength, and the way in which the joins knitted together. For such purposes there was no better timber.
