White Furniture Company, was a major American producer of hand crafted fine furniture for over a century, (1881–1993). Founded by the White Brothers of Mebane, North Carolina, the factory notably produced furnishings for the US Government and The Grove Park Inn.
==Origins==
In 1881 brothers Dave & Will White founded White Furniture Company.〔(Encyclopedia of North Carolina :: UNC Press )〕 They used a small loan and $275 from working as telegraph operators as capital. The White's Father, Stephen A. White III, had acquired an amount of debt which soiled the family's name. The brothers White pledged to repay their father's creditors and such was the catalyst behind starting the factory.
Will White served as the company President and Dave White as general manager. "The White Brothers were aggressive businessmen who took seriously their place in the town, and who, like many in the New South, equated industrial growth with civic duty and regional pride."
Working with only a plane and a () the initial manufacturing was limited to only round oak dining tables and wagon wheels. While reaching an early success in 1886 a local businessman invested funds to expand White Furniture and purchase more advanced machinery. Within a brief time span the company employed thirty two people and manufactured tables, chairs, and a bedroom set. The solid oak bedroom set sold for nine dollars and included a bed, dresser, and washstand.
