niture retailer, was announced yes--
terday. .

Mr. Lindberg will assume man-
agement of the store immediately ,
and will operate it as a home-own-
ed. independent furniture firm. He
will be assisted by Bernard Ro—
lander, who has been manager of
the House of Lindberg, and Ray

of the Leath store on W. State st.
for the past 12 years.

Until his recent resignation as

Company from Mrs. Grace Learn.
Mr. Lindberg has been associated
with Leath 85 Co, since 1915. He
became associated with Mr. Lcath

opened here in that year.

Mr. Lindberg later became vice

of merchandising and buying for
the chain of stores. Upon the death
of Mr. Leath in 1927, he became
president of the company.

The House of Lindberg, of which
Mr. Lindberg now assumes owner—
ship and management, was named
in honor of the Rockford man by
Mr. Leath when it was opened just
before Mr. Leath’s death.

The store is outstanding among
furniture firms of this city in that
it is housed in a new building. de
signed expressly for the purpose f0
which it is used. A bungalow’K
built into the lobby.

In assuming ownership of the
firm, the lease on the building was
transferred to Mr. Lindberg.

Mr. Lindberg will leave Sunday
for the furniture shows at Chicago
and Grand Rapids, and upon his
return here he will be able to offer
the latest styles and types of furni-
ture.

Rockford—made furniture will be
featured in the future by the
House of Lindberg, Mr. Lindbergl
declared yesterday. Mr. Lindberg'
expressed himself as pleased at the
forward—looking policies of the lo-
cal factories in producing new
styles of furniture at low prices.

Mr. Lindberg is a Rockford man.
He was born here and educated in
the public schools of Rockford.‘Not
only is he acquainted with the re—[
rail side of the furniture industr
but he is equally well versed ii ,

Appeal Is Made
For Mercy Colony
In First Lutheran

Hvassman Chorus Gives

Excellent Program

_ The Rev. E. K. Jonson, pastor of
Ebenezer Lutheran church, of Chi-
cago, presented an appeal last night
for the Colony of Mercy, and inter-
denominational philanthropic pro-
Ject, at a concert given last night
in First Lutheran church by the
Hvassman Covenant chorus, of Chi-
cage.

The Rev. Mr. Jonson told of the
work in the colony and of its need
for funds. The corporation has
bought 400 acres of land near Elgin,
where unfortunate persons may go
for rest or to recuperate from ill-
ness. Epileptics and those who can
not be cared for in homes for the
aged or children’s homes are the
especial care of the Colony of Mercy.

To be a founder of the colony, an
individual or group is asked to give
$1,000 to the corporation, and al-
though no concerted campaign will
be conducted in the city, persons in-
terested may communicate with
Levin Faust, Hjalmer Lundquist, the
Rev. J. A. Benander, or other mem-
bers ofthe board. Appeals will be
made from the pulpits and indivi»
duals will be asked to contribute to
the cause of the Colony of Mercy.

Members of the Hvassman Coven-
ant chorus presented an excellent
program with talks last night.
Under the direction of A. L. Hvass-
man, the group toured Sweden in
1926, and were enthusiastically re- .
ceived. Mrs. Ruth Fredberg and Mrs.
H. Culberg are soloists of the group
and Miss Alpha. Turnquist is accom-
panist.
