<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 185929, member: 44&quot;]This probably has nothing to do with your Rockford National furniture, but thought I&#039;d mention it. I found a John Cox in Utica, NY from 1882 to 1912+ involved with furniture. He first worked for a furniture store in Utica and on the death of the owner (1887) took over as manager of the store for the estate. c1890 he and an associate took over the store naming it Remmer &amp; Cox. c1896 Remner left the business and the store became John Cox &amp; Co. He opened a branch store in 1910. That label pictured in message #14 says &quot;Jno. Cox Utica, NY&quot; from Rockford National Furniture Co. in Rockford, Illinois. I believe it would be unusual for a manufacturer to ship furniture directly to a buyer/person. They would ship furniture to furniture stores where a person would buy it.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>History of Oneida County., New York from 1700 to...</i>, published 1912, Page 26, &quot;John Cox&quot;:</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/stream/historyofoneidac02cook#page/26/mode/1up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/stream/historyofoneidac02cook#page/26/mode/1up" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/stream/historyofoneidac02cook#page/26/mode/1up</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
