TO FEATURE CABINETS.
The agency for the Capital roll cabinets made by
the Capital Furniture Co., Noblesville, Ind., has been
taken over by Lyon & Healy. The territory assigned
includes the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and Machi-
gan and every state west of the Mississippi. There

has been well known to the trade for a number of
years. Special activities for featuring the cabinets

piano accessories department of Lyon & Healy.
HOOVER ADVISES LUMBERMEN.
The ability of a nation-wide industry to attain effi-
ciency and conservation within itself was discussed

Washington, last week. Further conservation and
standardization in Iumbsr production, Mr. Hoover
said, could be accomplished by the industry itself
more satisfactorily than through federal regulation.
