There are no good tag lines about furniture, unless you include, "sit on it."  We are trying to acquire information about Kansas furniture makers, led by the Abernathy Furniture Company of Leavenworth and Kansas City, Mo. (1856-1953), for which we have a few pieces and catalogs.   Other furniture makers that got their start in Leavenworth are the Helmers and Klemp companies.  The collection also includes pieces by individual furniture makers.
