<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 564866, member: 5066"]Well, I wouldn't exactly call Day's shop a "factory" as his work force consisted of 10-15 guys. The reason i mention Day is, it was very unusual for that particular man in that particular place at that particular time. Reasons i guess his life/work has been so well researched and documented.</p><p>The point being Day realized with his small operation that to continue selling furniture, he was going to have to compete with machine built furniture or the factories in Grand Rapids were going to put him out of biz, simple as that. He was not alone on that score, trust me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
