Description: 8x10 Photograph of the original plant and home office of The Lane Furniture Company and home of THE LANE CEDAR CHEST. In March 1912, a man named John Lane purchased a box plant in Altavista, Virginia. His son Ed Lane, twenty-one at the time and with little manufacturing experience, was encouraged by his father to try his hand at starting a chest factory in the newly acquired plant. Since the Lanes didn't know how successful their new venture was going to be, they didn't want to put their name on it, so they incorporated the little company as the Standard Red Cedar Chest Company, with John Lane as President and Ed Lane as Vice President and General Manager. Standard changed its name to The Lane Co. in 1922 and began national advertising that year. From cedar chests, Lane expanded to occasional tables in 1951, casegoods in 1956, and accent pieces in 1965 and is now recognized worldwide as a leading manufacturer of fine furniture and it all started in Altavista, Virginia. Actual print you receive will not have the watermark print across the middle as shown in picture.
