The Luger Furniture Company was a mainstay in hand-crafted wood furniture from its beginnings in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1854.  The business spent more than two decades in Wabasha, Minnesota, before putting down permanent roots in North St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1887, where they constructed an impressive new factory complex.  Throughout the years that followed, the Luger Furniture Company and spin-off St. Paul Table Company and Luger Cabinet Company would be the largest employers in the City and surrounding area, generating substantial commerce for the community.  In the 1950s, planning was underway to move the factory to Eupora, Misssissippi, in an effort to take advantage of lower wages and readily available resources.  In the midst of the transition efforts, however, a combination of factors doomed the relocation attempt and the company was unable to recover.  The business dynasty that helped drive North St. Paul's growth and development for nearly seventy years closed its doors for good
