 I don't think that you will be able to date it exactly, but here is the information I have on Continental from a 1941: "Continental Furniture, High Point, NC, was organized in 1901 for the manufacture of bedroom furniture. This factory is manufacturing one of the outstanding lines of this country in the higher grade solid mahogany and solid maple bedroom furniture. The company employs about 200 workmen. Fred N. Tate, president and treasurer was in charge of the company at its inception and has remained as the active head of the business ever since. RT Holton is vice president; JM Teague superintendent, and RT Holton, sales manager of the firm."
