According to a 1941 issue of FURNITURE WORLD, "Basic-Witz Furniture Industries, Inc., Waynesboro, VA, manufacturers of bedroom and dining room furniture, have been in existence for 50 years, having started in a small way back in 1889" They operated out of Virginia and produced a full line of furnishings in most styles including MCM. No huge value though, comparable pieces often sell for under $500.00.
