High Point Industry Shut Down, Dec. 9, 1920

High Point—The furniture industry at High Point is at a standstill, according to Fred B. Rhoades of Rhoades Furniture company. “Forty-two furniture factories have shut down,” said Mr. Rhoades. “One furniture factory and coffin concern are the only two doing any business. I will shut down my plants when we knock off for Christmas.” (From the Hoke County Journal, Raeford, N.C., Dec. 9, 1920)
