O'— Old-Fashioned Dining Room And Bed Room Are Rapidly Disappearing Shelbyville, Ind., Jan. 21.— (INS) — is the old fashioned dining room and bed room disappearing from the modern home life? Furniture manufacturers are seeking the answer to that question. The pre-season “show" at Grand Rapids. Michigan, brought out the fact that the demand for dining room and bedroom furniture is lower that it has been for years. The reason given for the slackening of trade in these items is the tendency toward apartments in the cities. In these apartments a dinette takes the place of the old dining room and the. bedroom generally consists of a folding bed which shuts up and is hid in a closet during the day time. Local manufacturers say that they have felt the change in demand and are adjusting their factories to meet the changed conditions.
