Columbia Furniture Co. Incorporates.

Attorney John A. Dunlap has prepared articles of incorporation for the Columbia FunTiture Company of this city. These articles have been sent to the secretary of state. The company incorporation is for 120,000, and the stockholders are S. 0. Penrol, G. E. Speigel, Dr. E. Besser, Dr. E. N. Loy and Mrs. E. N. Loy. All are residents of Rensselaer with the exception of Dr. Besser, whose home is in Remington. The company has a great number of orders ahead and they are doing a large business, employing about twenty men. This is an industry of great promise and Rensselaer should give it all the support possible. They are very much in need of a good rock road and it will be a great mistake if this is not made. This should be done by the township trustee or by some other means. The amount of hauling and traveling to and from the factory is large and a good road is a necessity.
