This digital collection consists of three Furniture trade periodicals published in Grand Rapids: The Michigan Artisan (July 1906 - June 1909), The Weekly Artisan (July 1909 - December 1910), and Fine Furniture (May 1936 - December 1937). These issues represent only a sampling of the full run of these publications, but they offer a glimpse into the world of furniture manufacturing in the early twentieth century.
The digitization was performed in 2007 by Graphic Sciences and was made possible by Thomas R. and Debra C. Dilley through the Grand Rapids Public Library Foundation.
You can search the furniture trade periodicals on the newspapers and magazines search page.
