School Furniture.
It is gratifying to Chicago pride to know that her enterprise can successfully compete with Eastern firms even on their own chosen fighting ground. The well-known firm of A. H. Andrews & Co., of this city, have been pushing their trade to the East until the present year they have the contract for supplying several large cities, including Philadelphia, their first order being 3,000 desks. By reference to the proceedings of the board, last night, it will be seen that the contract for seating the three new buildings just being completed in this city, was also awarded to the same house. Andrews’ “Gothic School Furniture” has acquired a national reputation.
