Does H E Shaw Furniture Company Grand Rapids Michigan still exist?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The H.E. Shaw furniture company in Grand Rapids Michigan was operated from
1911-1933.

Depletion of Michigan's forests put an end to the logging industry, requiring furniture companies to import lumber, as they still do today. Due to a nationwide industry slump between 1905 and 1910, furniture workers received only minimal raises or none at all. This, combined with extremely long hours and poor working conditions, led to 3,000 workers striking in 1911 demanding a 9-hour day, a 10 percent wage increase, and the abolition of pay based on piecework. After four months, the strike ended, but later management granted most of the laborer's requests.

The Grand Rapids residential furniture industry never fully recovered after that strike. World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II led to lessening demand for residential furniture and the Grand Rapids furniture companies did not make the transition well during the war economies. Many companies went under or moved south to be closer to a larger lumber supply.

Which lake is bigger Lake Michigan or lake Huron?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes, as most will tell you. But by strict definition of lakes, however, Huron and Michigan are actually a single lake, because they lie at the same elevation and water flows both directions through the Straits of Mackinac. That lake (called Michigan-Huron or Huron-Michigan), is larger than Superior.

Can a Humpback whale survive in Lake Michigan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Humpback whales need saltwater to live, and Lake Michigan is a freshwater lake.

Humpback whales primarily feed on krill (saltwater shrimps) and small, schooling (saltwater) fishes. While they may migrate 16,000 miles EACH year, they go where the food is, in summer. Then they live off of their fat reserves all winter long.
