In 1917, the firm added cedar chests to their line. In 1926, the H.E. Furniture Company became the Honderich Furniture Company. The company manufactured, at various times, desks, book cases (beautful glass door pieces, "occasional furniture" (coffee tables, end tables, etc), and dining room suites. The furniture was enduringly practical, modest (for the most part) and affordable. There was certainly a pride associated with its manufacture.

Dow and Kirkham (Fry & Blackhall, Wingham) who operated it under the Honderich name. In 1969, the plant was sold to Electrohome. It was in Milverton, Ontario.
