It also " normally produces dual sleeeping equipment, bedroom furniture, dining v room furniture and "push back" theater chairs. During the war years • it has devoted a substantial part of its facilities to the production of military goods and other items indirectly used in the war effort, and there has been some curtailment of its ordinary activities. Company : was organized as a result of the consolidation of four furniture, manufacturing companies which were under common control, the. oldest of them, Naperville Lounge Co., having been established in „ 1893 with an original Investment of $6,000. Net worth of approx¬ imately $9,189,000 as represented by capital and surplus shown in the consolidated balance sheet.of April 22, 1945, has resulted primarily and History reinvestment of earnings. '-; ;; v y manufacturing operations the company and subten plants which have an aggregate floor area exceeding- furniture its own • 2,000,000 square feet.- In 1944 production, despite wartime manufac--C turing restrictions, amounted to approximately 430,000 items of furni¬ ture, in addition to a large volume of war goods. Total shipments for the year exceeded $22,000,000. Employees currently number about 2,750, which is approximately 800 fewer than the pre-war average. " v of the company are distributed principally department stores and mail order houses. Approximately 9.87% of total consolidated sales of regular products in 1944 (not including war materials) represented sales to mail order houses. A relatively small proportion of sales is made to jobbers. Sales of "push back" theater chairs are made to theaters and toy others requiring such facilities. y to The products principal retail furniture stores, , Capitalization as 22, April of Preferred stock 1945 y Authorized "'..y :y Outstanding • (par $100)— Series A - series ' " 20,540 shs. 54,460 shs. 700,000 shs. • ' .
