Young of Cleveland, Ohio, president of the j Retail Furniture Dealers Association of the United States. New patterns to be offered by manufacturers: will combine sim plicity, quality and efficiency of workmanship in such a degree as to make possible a, lewer price to the retailer and consumer. Young said. Young arrived from the East Tuesday to attend a meeting of the Oregon Retail Furniture Dealers' association to be held tonight in the assembly room of the Portland hotel. He is accompanied by Douglas White of oan Fraisco, gen eral manager of the Retair Furniture. Dealers' Association of California. Abnormally high prices of furniture during the past year are attributed by Young to an increase in the cost of ma terials amounting to 300 per cent, and in some instances m 400 per cent, com pared with the market of 19M. Wages in furniture factories are approximately 100 per cent higher now than before the war. he. said, and the tendency has been toward subnormal j production During the past few weeks efficiency has been on the increase in the furniture industry and the increased output aids in extendi ing the market and offering.; goods at lower prices. President Young is enthusiastic as to the future of the furniture manufactur ing business in Portland. "The city has the best of shipping facilities, both by rail and water, and the recent increase in freight rates makes it possible for Portland manufacturers to compete suc cessfully with their EasteVn rivals in the territory west of the Rockies. The an nual consumption lof furniture In this territory amounts to between $30,000,000 and $40,000,000 and &t present not over 12 per cent of this volume is being man ufactured on the Pacific coast" Young will loavei Thursday for Seat tle to attend a -meeting of-; the Retail Furniture Dealers' Association of Wash ington.
