Abstract:

This history of furniture making in High Point tracks the development of the industry in this area, the furniture center of the South. Four factors are identified as key to High Point's success and expounded upon by the author: its proximity to then undepleted stands of excellent heartwoods, its favorable climate, excellent water power, and that it had plentiful, cheap, and dependable labor from surrounding rural areas.
