ment of Forestry of Pennsylvania in cooperation with the United States 
Forest Service, the work being done under the direction of Robert S. Conklin, 
Commissioner of Forestry of Pennsylvania, and O. T. Swan, in charge Office 
of Industrial Investigations, United States Department of Agriculture. The 
statistics were compiled from data collected in the summer of 1912, covering 
a period of one year from July 1, 1911 to June 30, 1912, inclusive. 


ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 


In the preparation of the text of the Pennsylvania Wood-Using Industry Re- 
port, the Forest Service desires to acknowledge the kind assistance of Hon. 
I. C. Williams, Deputy Commissioner of Forestry, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,_ 
and Mr. John L. Strobeck, Forester; also of Foresters James E. McNeal, W. 
- Gardiner Conklin, R. Lynn Emerick, and Walter D. Ludwig, of Pennsylvania, 
Department of Forestry, who assisted in the actual collection of data.

WOOD-USING INDUSTRIES OF PENNSYLVANIA 


INTRODUCTION. 


In the work of practical forestry, Pennsylvania is a leading State and 
bears this distinction as a result of the development and operation of an 
effective State-wide policy. To this Commonwealth also properly belongs the 
credit of being the cradle of American forestry.: When William Penn made 
the well known provision in the Charter of Rights, that for every five acres 
cleared one should be left in woods, the seed of forestry was first sown. Fol- 
lowing this, as early as 1700, the proprietary Government enacted forest 
fire laws, and from that time to the present, State Legislatures have de- 
bated upon and passed similar enactments. Popular sentiment favoring the 
practice of forestry by the State, grew steadily from the beginning, but in 
the past 20 years it has developed with remarkable rapidity. Directing. this 
educational propaganda were men who have since gained prominence and 
who stand high among those recognized as authorities pertaining to forestry 
subjects. 

Naturally, much has been written and said on all phases of forest con- 
servation and improvement in Pennsylvania. In the discussions, the economic 
importance of forests, aside from the collateral values they are regarded as 
possessing, has been reckoned usually in terms of production of the rougher 
forest products, such as lumber, lath, shingles, crossties, cooperage stock, 
telegraph poles, fence posts, mine timbers, cordwood for fuel and distillation 
purposes. The commercial gain that comes to the State through the millions 
of feet of lumber that the forests supply through their conversion into such 
finished commodities as vehicles, boxes, handles, novelties, has always been 
recognized; but reference thereto has been made only in a casual manner 
as the detailed data have not heretofore been available. It is a well es- 
tablished fact that the cutting and shipping away of lumber and other 
forest materials like pulp wood, cooperage stock, chemical wood, etc., is not 
as permanent a commercial and industrial gain as when those materials find 
a home market and are held for the manufacture of finished articles within 
the State, but to what extent this development has taken place in Pennsyl- 
vania, no previous investigation has ever attempted to ascertain. This study 
has been projected, therefore, with this special view, and of outlining the 
relations of the wood-consuming industries to the growing forests, as well as 
of collecting information respecting wood uses and factory waste. 

The information presented in this report covers the period of twelve 
months, prior to July, 1912. It was gathered in the late summer and fall of 
that year by the Department of Forestry of Pennsylvania, and by the Forest 
Service, United States Department of Agriculture, working under a co- 
operative agreement. The information was solicited from the manufacturers, 
not only from those producing complete wooden commodities, but from those 
making wooden parts of products, axe handles, brush blocks, and piano 
cases, for example; those factories that use lumber as a means of manufac- 
turing other commodities, like patterns and flasks in foundry work, and fac- 
tories of all kinds that require lumber in the marketing of their wares by 
manufacturing their own boxes and crates. The names and locations of all 
manufacturers were obtained through the assistance of the postmasters in the 


(8)

State, and the thoroughness and accuracy of this report were made possible by 
the kind co-operation of the wood users in giving detailed information as to 
their individual operations. Report blanks were mailed to each, with the 
request that they be filled in and returned. After a time, agents represent- 
ing Pennsylvania and the Federal Government were sent throughout the State 
to visit factories which had failed to report, and more particularly to study 
at close range processes of manufacture, waste problems, and industrial 
conditions. On completion of the field work, in accordance with agree- 
ment, the data were compiled and the report written by the office of Indus- 
trial Investigations of the Forest Service, whereupon the manuscript was 
turned over to the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry for revision and 
publication. 

For a number of years the Federal Government has kept a record of the 
annual production of rough lumber and other forest products by States, and 
for the last seventeen years the State has been gathering similar statistics 
for Pennsylvania. These reports should not be confused with the present in- 
vestigation, which in no way concerns the output of sawmills, except in a sup- 
plemental capacity. This investigation relates to the rough lumber after it 
leaves the sawmills and to the bolts and billets after they leave the woods, 
tracing them through different channels into commodities of final manufacture. 
It is not the purpose of this study to record the total quantity of wood used 
annually in the State. Much of it, in the form of rough lumber, goes into 
construction, which needs no other change than cutting or trimming the tim- 
bers, planks, or boards, to fit them into place in the house, bridge, tunnel, 
concrete forms, scaffolding, fences, etc. This material has not been taken 
into account and neither have the large quantities of dressed lumber which. 
are brought into the State in the form of fiooring, siding and ceiling, finished 
and ready for use. In addition there are parts of products made in other 
states and sent into Pennsylvania merely to be assembled; vehicle parts 
and box shooks are examples; also there are commodities partly manufac- 
tured, like club turned handles, spokes, rough bobbins and speeders, chair 
stock, ete., that have not been included in Pennsylvania but accredited to 
states in which the principal operations that change the forest material into 
the finished articles occur. 


PURPOSE OF THE STUDY. } 


The Pennsylvania investigation has been conducted under the same plan 
as that followed by the Forest Service in 30 other states. Eventually, the 
information from all the states will be correlated in a national study and a 
series of publications issued by the Federal Government relating to the 
wood-using industries and the commercial woods of the United States. 

Every factory was asked to state the amount of each species used, the com- 
modity into which each was made, the form in which it was received, and 
whether these woods came from within Pennsylvania or from outside the State. 
Inquiries referred also to tendencies of manufacture, closer utilization, and 
methods followed for waste utilization. As stated above, no data were solicited 
from sawmills or those producing veneer, laths, shingles, crossties, cooper- 
age, stock, posts, telegraph poles, chemical wood, pulp wood, ete. This in- 
formation for all the States has been kept and reported annually by the Bu- 
reau of the Census, and such of these statistics as relate to Pennsylvania, 
appear in the appendix of this report; they were taken from the census 
bulletins issued for 1911-1912. Apart from the concerns producing 
the above named rough forest products, there are scattered throughout Penn- 
sylvania nearly 5,100 factories that take wood and convert it into articles 


10 


of final form. These have been separated into classes or industries, and as 
much as possible of the data which they represent has been similarly ar- 
ranged and is presented in this report in tabular form. 

The question of the disposal of that part of the rough lumber cut going into 
the various channels of manufacturer is answered by this report and by the 
others of this series. For instance, the furniture woods are grouped together 
in the order of their importance as to amount consumed and in the same 
way is presented the species demanded for the making of other chief commod- 
ities, like chairs, vehicles, refrigerators, matches, farm implements, sport- 
ing goods, etc. 

The Pennsylvania Department of Forestry and the United States Forest 
Service are constantly receiving inquiries from points throughout this and 
nearby states concerning markets for various kinds of timber and lumber, 
and are called on for data on practical uses of wood and for suggestions and 
advice on possible solutions of waste problems. This report will answer 
many of these questions. The farmer, the timber owner, and the sawmill 
man are aided in selling their material by having the information of the 
kinds of wood the manufacturers demand and of the forms and prices apply- 
ing to their purchase. The manufacturers in turn are benefited in these 
added opportunities for buying raw material and in the suggestions offered 
for finding in the waste of another factory suitable materials for making 
their own wares. The report may also suggest to manufacturers possible 
substitutes of cheaper woods for the more costly ones that are being used, 
besides pointing out the chief regional sources from which the industries 
procure their raw material. Dealers in wooden products throughout the 
- country can learn what the Pennsylvania manufacturers have to sell, while 
those outside of Pennsylvania who desire to dispose of their lumber or wood 
in other forms can find what the manufacturers demand. 

To illustrate the use of this bulletin for reference, suppose information is 
requested concerning the raw material the handle makers demand. On page 
96 appears Table 59, giving the list of handle woods, the prices and amounts 
of each, and other pertinent information, while in the directory appended 
to this report, grouped also by industries, appear the names and addresses 
of the handle manufacturers buying these woods, page 186. Again, sup- 
pose information is needed as to what uses are made of ash, with a view of 
selling to the best advantage. By first turning to the list of uses on pages 
145, 146, one can find all commodities made in the State for which the manu- 
facturers demand ash. Should interest be attracted to the use of this wood 
in the form of lumber, say for passenger cars, by means of the table of 
contents the industry table embracing prices f. o. b. factory and other data 
referring to car building material is quickly found. Then by turning to the 
names of car builders in the directory, all preliminary information is at 
hand relating to the conditions of marketing this material with the factories 
engaged in the industry. 


FOREST CONDITIONS. 


The earliest settlements were naturally in the hardwood regions of ths 
eastern part of the State, where were found extensive forests of various 
species of oak and hickory. Chestnut, yellow poplar, black walnut,. elm, 
white ash, basswood, and other valuable trees were also common and often 
attained large size. In the southern tier of counties were magnificent for- 
ests, mostly of deciduous growth similar to those in the eastern part of 
the State. Probably in no region of the United States were there finer 
hardwoods than here, and magnificent specimens still etude confirm this 


11 


presumption and make one realize the almost inconceivable wealth Pennsyl- 
vania had in her timber lands. West of the Allegheny River the prevailing 
timber was largely hardwoods, similar to those in eastern Pennsylvania; 
but in the central and northeastern parts of the State, in the mountains, 
is the home of the cone bearing trees, the pine and the hemlock. With 
these, especially in the northern counties, were associated beech, birches, 
sugar maple, ashes, the black cherry, and scattered stands of other hard- 
woods. At first there was an exceedingly limited market for timber, and the 
gigantic trees that constituted the forests proved a hindrance rather than 
an asset. The same destructive method of cutting them and rolling the 
logs together to be burned was pursued in Pennsylvania, with the same 
zest as in other timbered states. Even the older living citizens recollect the 
custom of removing timber by fire from ground which was to be used for 
agricultural pursuits. Farm land was needed above all, but the unabated 
desire to clear away the timber was not limited to areas suitable for cropping 
but was extended into thousands of acres that have since been abandoned, 
after being denuded, as unsuitable for profitable farming. 

In the days of the early settlers of Pennsylvania, there was practically no 
market for hardwoods aside from what was required for local use. In com- 
parison with the demand for softwoods to meet the needs for buildings and 
other structural purposes, the call for hardwoods was. very limited. 
White pine was then regarded as the principal and only desirable lumber, 
and was the first in demand when the exploitation of the Pennsylvania for- 
ests began. Large rafts of pine logs were floated down the Susquehanna 
River and its tributaries as these streams drained a region abounding in the 
growth of this wood. About this period, large quantities of timber were 
sacrificed for the bark, which was peeled for tanning purposes; the logs being 
left in the woods to rot and burn. Not long after eastern woods had begun 
to be felled, similar activities were started in the forests of the far western 
part of the State. Here the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers afforded 
the means of rafting large quantities of timber from that part, which, 
after being manufactured into lumber, was taken to market by water through 
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. The introduction of railroads extended the 
lumber industry inland, remote from the rivers, where the finest developed 
stands of conifers and hardwoods were abundant. After the great demand for 
white pine had considerably increased its price, hemlock began to attract 
attention. Though at first considered an inferior lumber, this prejudice 
soon faded away and Pennsylvania was destined to meet a constantly in- 
creasing demand for this species and has since been among the three States 
leading in hemlock products. 

The marketing of the stands of magnificent hardwood forests which had to 
give way to provide room for agriculture and homes for farmers, was for 
many years an important economic problem in this State. There was little 
demand for this kind of timber abroad and still less in any of the other 
States. This presented the situation that if the hardwoods were to be ex- 
ploited at all, it would be necessary to develop a market at home, by the 
establishment of factories like those concerned in this report, which would 
consume this material for making various manufactured products. These 
wood-working industries though prosperous, developed gradually at the out- 
set. Later they not only rapidly increased in number, but grew to substan- 
tial proportions and contributed largely to the industrial expansion which gave 
Pennsylvania probably her early recognition as one of the leading manu- 
facturing states. The products turned out by these industries not only 


12 


found markets in other states, but were demanded as important articles for 
export to European cities. 


Ve 


IMPORTANCE OF MANUFACTURING. 


Besides the forests, the other natural resources of the State—coal, petro- 
leum, gas, ore, stone, clay, and rich productive soil—have also influenced the 
starting and growth of particular industries. These resources, with the 
further advantages Pennsylvania offers through its harbors and waterways, 
and a network of railway systems, making raw material accessible and 
products easily marketed, have gained for Pennsylvania a commercial prestige 
surpassed by only one other state. 

In the report of the 13th Census, taken in 1910, the Federal Government 
shows the valuable farm products taken from Pennsylvania in 1909 to ap- 
proximate nearly 1662 million dollars; the value of mineral products, 
including the output of mines, wells, and quarries, amounted to 2264 million 
dollars; while for the same period the factories, 27,563 in number, gave an 
added value to raw material of nearly 14 billions dollars. Manufacturing 
then is preeminently the first of Pennsylvania industries. 

The wood-using industries, with which this report deals, constitute one of 
the important classes of the State’s manufacturing enterprises. The value 
of the commodities turned out by them, together with that of the rough 
forest products produced, such as crossties, telegraph poles, etc., annually 
approximate $100,000,000. Although this is small compared to the production 
of factories using iron and steel, it is next in importance and indicates 
clearly the part that forests and their affiliated industries have and are still 
taking in the commercial development of the State. The capitalization of 
these wood factories amounts to over $63,000,000, and they give employment 
to nearly 100,000 wage earners, many of whom are skilled mechanics. It 
is known that the continued operation of these industries depends upon the 
future timber supply. And equally obvious is the fact that if these factories 
have to shut down and move closer to other timber producing regions, the re- 
sult will be general industrial depression and loss. 


FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY. 


For more than fifty years lumbering has been actively carried on in Penn- 
sylvania, and has been especially active for the past twenty-five years. 
Valuable scattered tracts of old growth hemlock and hardwood timber are 
still to be found in the State, but they represent only a small percentage 
of its wooded area and before many years pass they will be consumed. It 
is, therefore, recognized that the second-growth forests will have to be de- 
pended upon to meet the demands of the manufacturer, and this can only 
be made possible by the practice of forestry, according to a definite State- 
wide policy similar to that which this State has already inaugurated. 

Studies by the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry of forest conditions 
in the State, have pointed out vast areas like that contained in the State 
forests already established, that are better suited to forest growth than for 
agriculture. A large portion of these areas has a forest cover of valuable 
young trees in situations most conducive to their rapid growth. By the same 
practical and systematic management which is now being followed on the 
established forests, all of these lands can probably not only maintain the 
present lumber output of the State, but increase the production in a com- 
paratively short time: In other words, the State, by looking to the future 
timber supply, can continue her three fold industry of growing timber, cut- 
ting it into lumber, and making it into commodities.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY. 


This report is divided into three parts. Part I relates to the species 
of wood used by the wood-working factories in Pennsylvania, independent of 
their particular uses and the factories purchasing them. There is a general 
discussion of each wood, its range, and importance in the State as a lumber 
tree, the proportion of the amount used grown within the State, and a brief 
though particular enumeration of the properties of the wood. Uses are re- 
ferred to only in a general sense by calling attention to the industries report- 
ing the wood in large quantities. 

Part II concerns the wood-using factories of Pennsylvania which have 
been divided into industries according to products manufactured. Following 
this is a discussion of individual industries, referring to the products manu- 
factured, processes of manufacturing, woods demanded, and the principal 
qualities determining their use. In a majority of cases, the most suitable 
wood for each particular purpose is known, but the second best of the avail- 
able kinds is pointed out where possible, and in this way, as well as in 
others previously mentioned, the report will prove valuable to wood users. 

Part III is a summary of wood uses, independent of any industry classifi- 
cation or statistical data. In compiling this list, the Forest Service en- 
deavored to arrange it to include every wooden commodity manufactured in 
Pennsylvania. It constitutes the most nearly complete compendium of uses of 
wood that has ever been arranged, and will be of particular value for reference. 
Part III further includes the directory of the names and addresses of manu- 
facturers, grouped according to industries, who supplied the information con- 
tained in this report. The appendix presents data pertaining to Pennsyl- 
vania taken from reports of the Bureau of Census, United States Department 
of Commerce.

PART I. 


KINDS OF WOOD. 


A summary of the kinds of wood consumed in Pennsylvania manufacture, 
together with the cost, total quantity, and average price are presented in 
Table I following. Seventy-two kinds of wood were used within the State 
in the year 1911-12. White pine heads the list, representing nearly 143% 
of the total, but had longleaf, loblolly, and shortleaf pine been grouped 
under the term ‘southern yellow pine” it would have stood first in the list, 
and in amount equal to more than +} of the total consumption. 

It is interesting to know that the consumption of lumber in Pennsylvania 
exceeds the production. In 1912 the lumber cut by the State was 992,180,000 
feet while the quantity consumed by the wood-using factories was 1,114,000,000 
feet. Of the quantity used, 313,683,000 feet or 28% was accredited to the 
State, leaving 800,536,000 feet as coming from the forests of other States 
and from foreign countries. Cost is the principal consideration with the 
manufacturer purchasing raw material and the fact that his own State pro- 
duces the same kind of lumber that he uses is of little consideration unless 
that material be the cheapest and readily and conveniently procured. That 
-only a little more than one-fourth of the State’s lumber production is con- 
sumed in factories within the State suggests a probable duplication in distribu- 
tion that does not tend to economy. This condition is worthy of considera- 
tion by both lumber consumers and lumber producers, and when generally 
understood, can, through the medium of the reguiar trade agencies, be con- 
siderably improved. 

So far as possible in this study, the data were presented by species rather 
than by genus in order to enable one more easily to study uses according to in- 
herent properties. It is of far greater value to know that a wood is white 
oak, yellow poplar, or sugar maple than to have merely the generic name, 
oak, poplar, or maple. Owing to the many difficulties encountered this effort 
was but partially successful and was followed only to the extent warranted 
by the information furnished by the manufacturers and by general information 
as the particular uses of woods or the location where they were cut. 

The southern states, and next to them the Lake states, contribute more of 
the shipped-in material than any other lumber producing region. Shipments 
of white pine, sugar maple, beech, birch, ash and elm were reported as 
originating in the Lake region. The largest part of the shipped-in supply of 
oak, yellow poplar, hickory, chestnut, and sycamore came from the forests 
of West Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee, included within the 
hardwood region. Canada contributed a larger amount of wood but not as 
many kinds as the region embracing New York and the New England states, 
while the Pacific coast states sent a supply of six woods that aggregated nearly 
10,000,000 feet. That such a large amount should have been brought over so 
great a distance to meet the demands of the Pennsylvania wood-users: is 
significant of the growing scarcity of native eastern soft-woods.

Under the heading “Kind of Wood” the above table shows two separate 
lists of names. In the first column appear the names of the several woods as 
they are known to the trade, called common names. The scientific names 
which the botanists use to distinguish species are shown in the second column. 
In this and similar State reports, it has been the purpose of the Forest 
Service to call woods by their proper name with a view of standardizing 
nomenclature. Common names vary considerably according to locality but 
botanists as a rule are in agreement as to the scientific names. There are 
exceptions to this and among those shown in the above table are hickory, 
beech, locust, and sassafras. It will be noted that two botanical names are 
given for these woods. The first set is used by the Forest Service as given in 
the publication issued by the Federal Government entitled “The Check List cf 
the Forest Trees of the United States.” The second set is from the seventh 
edition of Gray’s Botany which is used as a standard by the Pennsylvania 
Department of Forestry. 

Thirteen of the species shown in the above table are foreign woods, the 
most prominent being Spanish cedar, and mahogany, followed by ebony and 
teak. Those accustomed to purchasing foreign woods in the form of ‘logs, 
flitches, or lumber may regard the average cost of these woods as excessive. 
This is because a part of the supply of these woods is purchased in the form of 
thin veneer which, in order to be included in the tables of this report, was 
reduced to feet board measure with no allowance for waste or the cost of 
production.

THE WOODS GROWN IN PENNSYLVANIA. 


Of the seventy-two woods which the manufacturers reported using, the en- 
tire amount of only six was home grown. 
mountain laurel, sometimes called kalmia, black locust, sassafras, sumach 
and willow. The forests in the State also furnished a part of the supply 
of thirty-six other woods, making an aggregate of State-grown material used 
equal to a little more than 28% of the total consumption. 

Instead of arranging the woods in the order of the quantity consumed, as 
in Table 1, they are shown in Table 2 alphabetically according to their 


generic names. 


Thes 


e were aspen, 


(or popple) , 


This arrangement throws together consecutively the birches, 


the cedars, the oaks, the maples, and the pines, and allows an easy compari- 
son of amounts of each species used, and if desired, an aggregate of any of 
them can be made readily. For a more convenient comparison of the home- 
grown woods with those grown out of the State, not only the quantities of 
these two classes are given for each species but also the per cent. which 


each class represents.

SPECIFIC DESCRIPTIONS. 


Notwithstanding the very general. substitution of other materials like con- 
crete, metals, stone, and clay for wood there is no clear indication that the 


call for lumber and other forest products is decreasing at this time. 


With 


the opening of the Panama Canal and the changing conditions which are con- 
stantly taking place in trade, it is difficult to predict what the future will 


bring forth. 


As it is there is a large demand for lumber of all kinds and es- 


pecially for the better grades of native woods. If there were an inexhaustible 


supply of timber now as there appeared to be fifty years or more ago, there 
would be less reason for making a study of this kind; but on account of the 
growing shortage of commercial timber it is most important that investiga- 
tions be made to determine the qualities of woods that best fit them for a 


particular use. 


With this in view, this section of the report has been de- 


voted to a brief account of the several woods used by the manufacturers, 


19 


In dealing with the properties of woods in the following paragraphs, a 
graded set of terms, such as hard, very hard, fairly hard, soft, very soft, 
ete., is used. These terms of course indicate an approximate scale and 
apply only to the average run of woods, as many conditions governing the 
growth of the tree affect materially the structure of the wood so that the same 
kind appears to have slightly different qualities. Generally the scale of terms 
used will serve to give a fairly clear idea of the properties of woods. To 
prevent confusion in their application, efforts have been made not to use them 
too loosely. The schedule setting forth the terms showing the relative grada- 
tions to which all descriptions of qualities conform will be found on page 60. 
By reference to this schedule the properties of the woods described may read- 
ily be studied and compared. 

Lumbermen divide woods into two general classes, hardwoods and soft- 
woods. This classification is not based so much upon the qualities of hard- 
ness and softness as upon distinction which custom has standardized because it 
is practical and holds true generally. Hardwoods are trees with broad leaves, 
while the softwoods have the needle leaf. 


THE SOFTWOODS. 


There are nineteen species of conifers going into final manufacture in 
Pennsylvania. Ten of them are pines, constituting nearly fifty per cent. of the 
total consumption, and of these the supply of seven is obtained entirely from 
other states, and of the three home-grown species, scrub and pitch pine are 
required in relatively small amounts, leaving white pine the foremost soft- 
wood representative of the Pennsylvania forests. Pine lumber is generally ad- 
mitted to be the most valuable wood that the earth produces and the species 
that are used in Pennsylvania together with the other softwoods are described 
in the order of quantity as follows: 


PINES. 
White Pine (Pinus Strobus). 


White pine was the first lumber tree in Pennsylvania that attracted the 
attention of the lumbermen. It was not found in this State in thick stands of 
vast areas like the white pine in the Lake regions and parts of New 
England, but it grew plentifully in various parts of the State. The trees were 
generally of large development, and in the early years of lumbering, Pennsyl- 
vania trees contributed a large proportion of the total white pine cut of the 
country. In 1880 the estimated cut of white pine in Pennsylvania amounted to- 
380,000,000 feet, in 1900, 221,000,000 feet, and in 1910 only 92,000,000 feet. 
In a few localities the remnants of the original stands are still being cut and 
here and there trees are found scattered among the hemlocks and hardwoods, 
besides the second growth that helps to make up the supply. White pine 
reproduces vigorously and in certain parts of the State under favorable con- 
ditions grows with astonishing rapidity. In quantity, it is the most used of 
any wood for manufacture in Pennsylvania, and owing to its valuable 
qualities of being light, soft, comparatively durable, of whitish color, easily 
worked, and holding its shape when in place, it is called for by the factories 
comprising thirty-two of the fifty-four industries. The largest quantity was 
used for making planing mill products and general mill work, and the 
next largest for boxes, these two industries accounting for 71% of the supply 
going to the Pennsylvania factories. It is interesting to note that white pine 
cut for Pennsylvania was only 2,000,000 feet more than the reported quantity 
of home-grown wood used. This gives white pine the distinction of being con- 


20 


sumed by manufacturers in the largest proportion of the amount cut in the 
State of any home grown tree that is important in the production of lumber.

Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata). 

In quantity shortleaf pine is the most important yellow pine used by the 
Pennsylvania wood users. It was demanded, next to white pine, in the 
largest amount of any wood going into final manufacture in the State. 
Twenty-four industries report using this wood, but over ninety-one per cent. of 
the total went to three of them: boxes, planing mill products, and car con- 
struction. Shortleaf pine grows in Pennsylvania and, to a limited extent, is 
sawed into lumber; but the manufacturers report the use of the home cut 
wood in very small quantities and purchase almost their entire supply. in 
the southern states. Shortleaf pine is a soft, yellow wood with considerable 
sap.and has wider rings than the longleaf pine. Its qualities may be indicated 


21 


as intermediate or coarse grained, moderately hard, dense, tough and 
elastic, strong, stiff, durable, resinous, moderately stable, rather easy to 
work, and takes paint well. It is not infrequently bought and sold as longleaf 
pine, especially that coming from the Gulf states. The Virginia and Carolina 
shortleaf pine is generally handled under the name North Carolina pine, 
being a mixture of loblolly and shortleaf in the proportion of about four 
to one.

Longleaf Pine (Pinus palustris). 


For strength, stiffness, and durability, longleaf pine is considered superior 
to other species of yellow pine. The distinguishing features of the wood are 
its narrow rings and its relatively small proportion of sapwood. It is hard, 
with fine straight grain, dense, moderately heavy, elastic, tough; splits 
rather easily, is fairly hard to work, and does not take paint well. Nearly 
three-fourths of all that is used in the State is consumed in car building, al- 
though seventeen other industries reported its use in varying small amounts. 
The most prominent among these are planing mill products, ship building, and 
the manufacture of tanks and silos.

Lobloliy Pine (Pinus taeda). 


Loblolly pine does not grow in Pennsylvania though it has a wide range 
extending from southern Maryland through all the southern states and ex- 
tends as far west as Texas. Most of that used in Pennsylvania was re- 
ported as coming from Virginia and North Carolina, in which states it con- 
stitutes the largest proportion of the lumber production. It is a soft, wide 
ringed, thick sapped, yellow pine. It has very coarse straight grain, is 
moderately hard, strong and durable, resinous, brittle, easy to season and 
work, and takes paint well. It closely resembles shortleaf pine and meets 
similar uses, so that no attempt is ever made to distinguish it commercially. 
Over 51,000,000 feet is demanded yearly by the Pennsylvania wood users 
for a great variety of purposes, but over nine-tenths is reported by the box 
makers and the manufacturers of. sash, doors, blinds, and other planing mill 
products.

Pitch Pine (Pinus rigida). 

Pitch pine furnishes the largest amount of yellow pine lumber that is 
cut in Pennsylvania. The tree has a large proportion of sapwood and is de- 
cidedly resinous. It grows scatteringly throughout the State and is more 
extensively used than the total in Table 7 would indicate, owing to the 
fact that after it is cut into lumber it is difficult for the manufacturer to 
identify it. The wood is very brittle, of medium weight, hard, coarse 
grained, weak, ctiff, durable, and does not hold paint. Its principal use in 
Pennsylvania for manufacturing is for boxes and crates, though it meets a 
wider demand for structural work and for other uses where rough timber is 


required without further manufacture.

Western White Pine (Pinus monticola). 


This is not the species which produces the white pine lumber of Pennsyl- 
vania and the Lake states, but in appearance the wood closely resembies 
eastern white pine and is suitable for most of the purposes for which the 
eastern wood is used. Idaho, western Montana, and Washington supplied 
the most of it used in Pennsylvania. The industries demanding it are the 
makers of planing mill products and the car builders.

Scrub Pine (Pinus virginiana). 

This tree occurs most frequently in the coastal plain region from New York 
to Virginia, and for that reason is found in New Jersey and Delaware more 
extensively than in Pennsylvania. Its range extends from the clay ridges 
in the southeastern part of the State westward and northward into the foot- 
hills and mountain regions, scattered among the hardwoods. The common 
names in different localities are: Jersey pine, nigger pine, and bastard pine. 
On cut over areas restocking is heavy and springs up rapidly but the reproduc- 
tion is best on old fields where in some localities it forms thick stands. It 
grows more slowly than loblolly or shortleaf and only a comparatively small 
proportion of the trees reach a size large enough for lumber. It has coarse, 
straight grain, wide sapwood, and is very brittle, soft, moderately 
strong, stiff, splits rather easily, is fairly durable and resinous. It 
can be recognized readily by its short dark green needles, two in a sheath, 
and by the fact that cones generally remain on the trees several years after 
they have dropped their seed. In Virginia the box makers and excelsior 
manufacturers use large quantities of this wood, while in Maryland and 
Delaware, it is cut into railroad ties, converted into boxes and crates, and, 
to a limited extent, is used for building materials. In Pennsylvania a 
quantity equal to the entire cut of yellow pine went to the box makers.

Sugar Pine (Pinus lambertiana). 

Sugar pine is the largest pine tree in the United States and is cut almost 
entirely in California. The name is due to a sugary substance which exudes 
from the tree when the wood is bruised. It is a true white pine and the wood, 
except for its being slightly more resinous, is quite similar in appearance to 
eastern white pine. The uses of the two pines are almost identical, and for 
a number of purposes the western wood is substituted forthe eastern. Sugar 
pine has a fine straight grain, narrow sapwood, is soft, fairly dense, of very 
light weight, moderately strong, stiff, non-elastic, easily split and seasoned, 
and very easy to work. Over a million feet are annually demanded by the 
Pennsylvania manufacturers. The largest quantity goes to the producers of 
sash, doors, and blinds. It is also demanded in considerable quantities for 
foundry patterns and for special uses in store and office fixtures.

Western Yellow Pine (Pinus ‘ponderosa). 

This species next to Douglas fir is more extensively cut into lumber than any 
of the other western woods, and in the western and central states is used 
for every purpose for which wood can be employed. Its range includes nearly 
all of the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast states. On the market it goes toa 
large extent as white pine. Sometimes it is called California white pine and in 
the eastern states dealers give it assumed names, as in Philadelphia it was 
found being sold as maraschino white pine. The wood in a large number of 
cases closely resembles white pine and by ocular examination it is difficult 
to distinguish. It is, however, a true yellow pine, fine grained, and al- 
though somewhat heavier and more resinous than white pine, meets a number 
of uses for which white pine has heretofore been used. It is a cheaper wood 
and for that reason is a valuable lumber tree and has great possibilities. 
Box makers and the planing mills are the industries using it most extensively 
in Pennsylvania,

HEMLOCKS. 


Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis). 

Although the cut in Pennsylvania is over 150 times the amount the manu- 
facturers use, it is interesting to note than twenty-seven per cent. of the hem- 
lock going into further manufacture came from other states. In 1912 Penn- 
sylvania ranked third in the production of hemlock lumber, being surpassed by 
Michigan and Wisconsin. Of the imported wood, West Virginia and New 
York furnished the largest amount. This is the eastern species of the hem- 
lock, that grows from Nova Scotia to Georgia and as far west as Minnesota. 
It is light, brittle, cross grained, and coarse. It is more difficult to work 
than the pines and has more of a tendency to warp and twist. It is, however, 
strong and stiff and non-resinous, holds nails well, and is fairly durable. 
It is cheaper than similar grades of the principal pines, and in the east 
central states it is more largely used than any other wood for framing, 
sheathing, and other uses of rough lumber in building construction. Among 
the factories of the State, the box industry and that of the planing mills 
use the largest amounts of this wood, but ten other industries demand small 
quantities for a variety of purposes. 


Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla). 


Another species of hemlock was found being used in Pennsylvania, and it is 
interesting to note that it is the kind that grows only in the far western 
states commonly known as western hemlock to distinguish it from the eastern 
wood. This tree usually attains larger sizes than the eastern hemlock, but, 
like the latter, is found in association with other species and seldom in pure 
stands. It ranges from two to five feet in diameter and when cut into 
lumber, generally classes higher, showing less defects than its eastern relative. 
It is used by only one industry in Pennsylvania, the makers of tanks and silos.

CYPRESS. 


(Taxodium distichum) 


In Pennsylvania cypress next to yellow pine is the most widely used of any 
lumber coming from the southern states. It is typically a swamp tree of 
the southeastern coast and gulf region and up the Mississippi Basin as far 
as Missouri. The wood is light, soft, straight-grained, and of fine texture. 
Though more difficult than some woods to season properly, it holds its shape 
when thoroughly dried and is one of the most durable woods for which the 
manufacturers call. These qualities make it desirable for many purposes. 
The planing mills use the largest quantities, not only for porch, cornice, and 
other exterior work, but also for doors, sash, panels, moulding and other 
interior finish. The other seventeen industries in the State demanding this 
wood and the quantities used are listed in the following table:

SPRUCE. 


Two. species of eastern spruce, namely, red and white, and one north- 
western species, Sitka spruce, are reported by the Pennsylvania manufactur- 
ers. It is impossible from the information obtained to present separate 
statistics for the eastern species. The red spruce, the species common in New 
York, Maine, and New Hampshire, is the tree appearing on the mountains in 
various parts of Pennsylvania. In 1912 spruce was reported cut by 129 saw- 
mills of the State. The white spruce came into the State largely by water 
through the Great Lakes, from Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, where 
it is the common lumber tree. In appearance, qualities and sizes white 
spruce resembles red spruce. Spruce lumber irrespective of species is being 
substituted for white pine, especially in constructive work, box making, 
tanks and silo manufacture, and many other less important places where white 
pine was formerly used. Compared with it, however, spruce is weaker, less 
durable, more brittle, harder to work, whiter and of finer grain. It is non- 
resinous and therefore valuable for containers of foodstuffs. The western 
wood, Sitka spruce, comes from Washington and is used for a few special pur- 
poses. The planing mills reported its entire amount.

DOUGLAS FIR. 
(Pseudotsuga taxifolia). 


Over three and a third million feet of Douglas fir, often called Oregon pine, 
is brought from the far western states to Pennsylvania to meet the demands. 
of three industries: Ship building, planing mill products, and the manu- 
facture of tanks and silos. It is primarily reported for structural work, be- 
cause it possesses superior tensile strength, and, because it grows in large 
sizes and timbers of large dimensions are readily obtainable. In this latter 
respect it is the chief competitor of longleaf pine in the eastern and middle 
states. It is also valuable as a decorative wood, owing to its attractive grain 
and figure and the fact that it takes stain readily. This accounts for its 
rapid growth in popularity in recent years for doors, moulding, wainscot- 
ing, stairwork, and for other interior finish.

CEDARS. 


Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana). 


The Pennsylvania wood users report the use of three woods known as ced- 


ars. 


Two of them grow in Pennsylvania and the other is a western wood. 


Red cedar, often called juniper, has a range covering all the states east and 
several west of the Mississippi River, but now commercially most abundant 
in Tennessee and southward. The Pennsylvania factories consume annually 


861,000 feet of this and only about two per cent. was cut in the State. 


It 


was called for by nine industries, the most important of which were makers of 


professional instruments, 


products, furniture and caskets. 


including the lead pencil makers,

Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata). 


The western cedar is the largest cedar that grows and it is the foremost 
shingle wood of the country. It is commonly cut into wide boards and plank 
and is more abundant than eastern cedar, but the wood is lighter, weaker, 
softer, less durable, and more spongy in texture. The red cedars are so named 
on account of the color of the heartwood and the white cedar on account 
of its lack of color. The planing mills are the only class of factories bring- 
ing the western red cedar into Pennsylvania. 


Southern White Cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides). 


Southern white cédar grows principally near the Atlantic Coast on lowlands 
and is best developed in states from New Jersey southward. The western 
limit of its range is in the extreme eastern portion of Pennsylvania, but 
none of the wood the manufacturers used was State-grown. The boat builders 
and the tank and silo makers accounted for ninety-seven per cent. of all the 
nearly four million feet used in the State. White cedar lumber is readily 
seasoned, easily worked, splits straight, and is regarded the most durable 
of any of the domestic woods. It possesses a remarkably straight, fine grain 
and a fine compact structure. It is probable that a small per cent. of this 
wood reported as white cedar may have been the northern white cedar often 
called arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis), but there was nothing in the informa- 
tion received to indicate it. Arborvitae is found on high elevations as far 
south as North Carolina but south of New York State rarely attains sufficient 
size to be of any commercial importance.

REDWOOD 


(Sequoia sempervirens). 

This tree is closely related to the famous “Big Trees,” which attain the 
largest size of any known tree. Practically all of the redwood lumber 
produced in this country comes from California. Redwood, and the sugar 
pine, the other California. wood described above, are the highest priced 
softwoods that the Pennsylvania manufacturers report. Owing to its fine 
texture, great durability, stability in place, and excellent quality, redwood 
is more and more entering the eastern markets in spite of its cost. Its name 
is due to the red color of its wood, which fades when long exposed to the 
weather.

TAMARACK. 


(Larix laricina). 


Pennsylvania marks the southern limit of the eastern species of tamarack. 
Of the limited quantity of lumber used by the factories, a small per cent. was 
from timbers cut in the extreme northwestern part of the State. It is dis- 
tinctly a swamp tree, but the wood in its physical properties is similar to 
southern pine, although it is claimed to be more durable. In quality it is 
lard, dense, moderately heavy, strong, very stiff, moderately tough, elastic, 
hard to split, difficult to work, non-resino@s, and with an intermittent grain. 
Qnly two industries in Pennsylvania reported the use of tamarack. It went 
for parts in boat building and to the planing mills for finished material used 
in house construction. 

BALSAM FIR. 


(Abies balsamea.) 


Balsam fir is found growing in Pennsylvania, but being near the southern 

limit of its range the trees are of small size and of little commercial value. 
In the Lake states and in New England, as well as throughout the whole 
‘of Canada, this tree grows in swamps, usually associated with tamarack, 
black spruce, white cedar, etc. It appears also on the uplands, but it is 
much less common. The wood is soft, weak, and perishable, but has long, 
tough, colorless fibers, which make it valuable in paper manufacture. Like 
black spruce, its principal use is for pulp. 

In Canada ninety-five per cent. of this wood is said to be cut for this pur- 
pose. The lumber serves many of the purposes for which spruce is de- 
manded, but in Pennsylvania the planing mills were the only class of manu- 
facturers reporting it. 

THE HARDWOODS. 


In the use of wood for making articles of final form a larger quantity of 
softwood is demanded than of hardwood; but the hardwoods meet a greater 
number of uses than softwoods and are more important as to distribution 
among the various industries. The hardwoods form about forty-five per 


3 


34 


cent. of the total lumber cut in the State, and of the thirty-five kinds reported 
for manufacture, exclusive of the imported foreign woods, all but five were 
cut wholly or in part within the State, while of the twenty-three conifers 
or softwoods a portion of the supply of only thirteen were returned as State- 
grown. 

OAKS. 

The oaks are the leading hardwoods consumed by the Pennsylvania wood 
users. In trade the wood of the oaks is separated into two general classes, 
white oaks and red oaks, but the botanist’s classification, which is based on 
difference in flower, fruit, and leaf, divides the oaks into more than fifty 
species. The manufacturer bases his distinction upon the qualities of the 
wood. The white oaks possess an even grain and fine texture, and are 
usually strong, hard, heavy, tough, dense, and durable but difficult to 
season; the red oaks are less strong and durable, and not so dense, 
but more easily worked because softer, more easily kiln-dried and, on ac- 
count of being more porous they take stains and varnish more readily. Oak 
is brought into Pennsylvania in greater quantities than any other wood ex- 
cept shortleaf pine notwithstanding the fact that the cut of State-grown oak 
exceeds the quantity used by the manufacturers by over ninety million feet. 
There are many instances in which oak is demanded because it is the best 
suited and often the only practical material for the purpose. This accounts 
for the wood being first in importance for meeting a greater number of uses 
in Pennsylvania than any other American wood. Thirty-five industries de- 
mand some one or more of the white oak group and thirty-two industries 
one or more of the red oaks. The number of uses reported, as shown in 
the summary in the following pages, for the white oak is 738 and for the 
red oak 310. The car builders consume over one-half of the former and con- 
siderably more than one-third of all the latter that goes into further manu- 
facture in the State. The furniture makers, including the chair industry, 
use over six and one-half million feet more red than white oak, but on the 
other hand, for vehicles, ship building, machine construction and agricul- 
tural implements white oak is largely preferred to red oak. For a comparison 
of the qualities of the two classes, the white oaks may be said generally to 
have intermediate straight grain, and are very hard, porous, very heavy, 
very strong, moderately stiff and elastic, and tough. They also split easily, 
are durable, rather difficult to season and to work. The red group generally 
are relatively coarse, straight grained, very hard. very porous, heavy, strong, 
stiff, non-elastic, and tough. This wood splits rather easily, is moderately 
durable, and rather difficult to season.

YELLOW POPLAR. 
(Liriodendron tulipifera). 

Forty-one classes of factories demand yellow poplar, which next to sugar 
maple, shows the widest distribution among industries of any wood that 
Pennsylvania factories demand. In this particular it excels white oak. The 
number of particular uses (see table of uses) reported for yellow poplar, 
however, is nearly 50 per cent. less than for white oak, while the total poplar 
used in the State was less by forty million feet. Yellow poplar is of 
fine texture, more easily worked, takes paint readily, and holds its shape 
after drying better than any other domestic wood. In texture it is similar to 
basswood. Because it is frequently called whitewood it is often confused 
with basswood, but is softer. There is a great difference between the heart- 
wood and the sapwood of yellow poplar; the former in a number of in- 


36 


stances being sold on the market as yellow poplar because of its yellow 
color, and the latter as white poplar or whitewood, and _ therefore 
number of instances being sold on the market as yellow poplar because of its 
yellow color, and the latter as white poplar or whitewood, and therefore 
often regarded by users as separate species. The tree is frequently called 
tulip tree and the wood tulip poplar. There is but one species of this genus 
in this country. It is interesting to note that of the total amount of yellow 
poplar going into manufacture, over thirteen million feet were cut from State- 
grown timber. This amount was about two million feet less than the reported 
cut of this species in the State.

MAPLES. 


Three maples are cut for lumber in Pennsylvania, sugar maple, sometimes 
called hard maple (Acer Saccharum), the red or soft maple (Acer rubrum), 
and the white or silvery maple (Acer saccharinum). Of these the sugar 
maple is commercially the most important-and it is probably the most 
valuable wood produced in Pennsylvania. This is because of the abundance of 
maple sugar it produces, the choice figured woods known as bird’s eye and 
curly maple, etc., and the many uses for which this wood alone is the most 
adaptable, owing to its combined qualities or strength, hardness, stiffness, 
and its ability to hold its shape after being properly seasoned. Forty-two 
industries report its use, which is a greater number than for any other wood 
named in-this report. It is abundant on well-drained land, particularly in the 
northern, western, and middle portions of the State. Next to white oak, 
sugar maple was reported as meeting the greatest number of uses, and was the 
fourth important hardwood in the total cuantity used. It also bears the 
distinction, among the woods that are used in quantities exceeding 5,000,000 
feet, of furnishing the largest proportion of State-grown wood.

Red and Silver Maple. 


Red and silver maple both go in commerce under the name of soft maple. 
The former is cut from the hills and mountains of the State, 
grows abundantly and is associated with beech, birch, and hemlock, while 
the latter thrives best in bottomlands and along streams, in company with 


the willows; black ash, and river birch.

The wood of these soft maples is 


similar to that of sugar maple except that it is lighter, softer, and slightly 


tougher.

Relatively, they meet only a few uses and’ are distributed among 


Maple lumber, including all species, ranks next 
to oak in the hardwood cut of Pennsylvania.

CHESTNUT. 


(Castanea dentata). 


Over 1,000 sawmills in Pennsylvania report the cut of chestnut, and the 
production of this lumber exceeds that of any other hardwood cut in the 
State. Manufacturers, classified among twenty-seven industries, report chest- 
nut for nearly 200 separate and distinct uses. Though Pennsylvania is second 
in importance in the production of chestnut lumber and annually cuts nearly 
twice as much as the manufacturers consume, only forty per cent. of the total 
quantity purchased was home-grown wood. The wood is coarse straight 
grained, light weight, moderately strong and hard, very stiff and brittle, dur- 
able when exposed, easily seasoned, and holds nails well. The wood is also 
rich in tannin and is therefore largely used in making tannin extracts. Its 
other valuable qualities are ease in working, great porosity, stiffness. non- 
elasticity, light weight, and brittleness. It has an attractive grain and a beau- 
tiful figure, and therefore has lately grown in popularity for inside finish of 
houses and buildings. Nearly two-thirds of the reported usage by manufactur- 
ers in Pennsylvania is for these and other planing mill products. The largest _ 
demand for chestnut is for rough forest products, as posts, telegraph poles, 
-eross ties, mine props and tanning extract. The growing tree is subject to at- 
tacks by boring insects, which make the wood usually defective. Large 
quantities of the chestnut lumber used in Pennsylvania, therefore, are of the 
low grade known as “sound wormy” which shows the galleries of insect larvae, 
but is otherwise sound. It is this grade which the box makers use in amounts 
equal to more than twenty-three per cent. of the total, and it is this grade that 
the furniture manufacturers and piano builders demand for veneer backing, 
being light, holding its shape well, and with a special affinity for glue, and is 
especially adapted for this purpose. The casket makers use chestnut ahead 
of any other wood as experience has proved that this wood is one of the most 
durable underground. The sound wormy grade is most frequently employed 
as the injury by the borers does not seem to affect particularly its lasting 
qualities. 
In recent years, the chestnut bark disease that has killed chestnut trees in 
New York and southern New England has made great inroads on the stand 


40 


in Pennsylvania. The rapid spread of the infection and its devastation in the 
infected areas of the State has produced such an alarming situation that the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania adopted measures looking to the possible con- 
trol of the disease. A chestnut tree killed by the blight is killed by the gird- 
ling of the trunk. The disease does not injure the wood although it pene- 
trates a few annual rings. The problem of utilizing the blight killed wood, 
the Federal Government has ascertained, is merely a question of using dead 
timber. The wood generally answers for all purposes for which healthy 
chestnut is demanded, and recent official strength tests have proved that 
sound killed chestnut is fully as strong as live healthy wood. To owners of 
blight killed timber, the Forest Service has pointed out the necessity of its use 
within two years after death as subsezuent to that period, deterioration, due 
to checking, insect injury and decay, is quite rapid.

BEECH. 


(Fagus atropunicea)=(F. grandifolia). 

Considering that thirty-three industries demand beech for more than 230 
distinct uses, it can properly be termed one of Pennsylvania’s important hard- 
woods, though not many years ago it was considered by manufacturers of 
little value, There is but one species in Pennsylvania and its stand is abund- 


41 


ant, especially in the northeastern, northern, and western portions of the 
State, where are located most of the 800 or more mills that report cutting it. 
Pennsylvania produces more beech lumber than any other state east of the 
Ohio river, and in this respect stands third in importance in the United 
States. It is quite surprising that so large a quantity of low grade beech 
lumber, such as is used by the box makers, was shipped in, if one considers 
that the cut of this wood in Pennsylvania exceeds the consumption of home- 
grown wood by over 22,000,000 feet. The wood of the beech tree is not first 
class lumber like its associates, the maples and birches. It is usually cross- 
grained, not durable, difficult to season, and frequently warps and checks 
when in place, even after it has been thoroughly dried. It is, however, 
strong, hard, and moderately stiff, and these qualities combined, together 
with the fact that it is cheap, make it desirable for a great number of uses. 
It is especially adapted for turning stock and for that reason it is one of the 
leading woods appearing in the chair industry and in the making of brooms and 
mop handles. The planing mills use it largely for flooring, but for this 
purpose it is not in so great demand in this State as in the New England 
states, where a large quantity of beech shipped from Pennsylvania is used, 
being preferred to the New England wood owing to its better quality. The 
brush makers want large quantities of beech for scrubbing and other cheap 
brush blocks, while the woodenware and toy makers demand it in large 
quantities for many special uses. It is the most important wood for 
laundry appliances, especially for clothes pins, for which it is used probably 
in larger quantities in the country at large than any other wood.

RED GUM. 


(Liquidambar styracifiua). 


Red gum in late years has grown in commercial importance more than any 
other domestic wood. It was formerly considered of little value, owing to 
difficulty in seasohing; but with the coming of improved methods of kiln-dry- 
ing, both for veneer and lumber, these obstacles have been overcome and the 
wood has become available for a great number of uses. It was reported in 
Pennsylvania by twenty-three industries. The red gum tree grows in Pennsyl- 
vania, especially in the southeastern and middle portions of the State, where 
its cut was reported by 130 mills. It is not related, as its common name indi- 
cates, to the other gums, the water gum, and black gum, the cotton or tupelo 
gum, though often growing with them in the southern extension of its range. 
The red gum has a starlike leaf and bears its numerous seeds in spiny, round 
balls. The black gum has an oval leaf, and bears a small bluish black drupe 
containing a single seed. The wood of the red gum is fairly strong, soft and 
tough. It has a slightly interlocked grain, a fine, uniform texture, and takes 
a good polish. The color of the wood is not uniform. The sapwood is almost 
white and on the market is sold separately as sap gum. The heartwood is 
generally a reddish light brown. In some trees it is uniformly dark, while 
in others the dark wood runs in irregular streaks mottling the wood and giv- 
ing it a figure resembling Circassian walnut. Pennsylvania furniture makers 
use this wood in the largest quantities, finishing it often to imitate more ex- 
pensive hardwoods, mahogany, walnut, quarter-sawed oak, and cherry.

BASSWOOD. 


(Tilia americana). 

Probably a larger per cent. of the cut of basswood in Pennsylvania goes to 
the manufacturers than that of any other hardwood. Four hundred and thirty 
mills in 1912 report cutting over 10,000,000 feet, while the wood-using fac- 
tories consumed almest 8,000,000 feet, making more than 200 distinct com- 
modities. There is one species of basswood of commercial importance growing 
in Pennsylvania, and it is found in all parts of the State, but more abund- 
antly on rich, well drained soils. It is a favorite shade tree and for that pur- 
pose is extensively planted. Lumbermen often refer to the tree as linden and 
call the lumber “linn,” but throughout its range it is probably most commonly 
known as basswood. This is due to the “bast” or inner bark, which is of 
considerable commercial importance for making cords, ropes, and doormats. 
Especially in midsummer is the tree easily identified, when the fragrant yel- 
low flowers attract the attention of the passer-by. 

Basswood is the softest hardwood and in its qualities is similar to yellow 
poplar and aspen. This wood is stiff, light, weak, and non-durable, with an 
intermediate grain, wide sapwood scarcely distinguishable, and a lack 
of taste and odor. Jt is more easily worked than any of the other hardwoods, . 
with the probable exception of yellow poplar, does not warp or check, is 
tough, and takes paint well. It is used by thirty-one of the wood-using 
factories, besides being preferred by slack coopers over all other woods for 
heading, particularly flour and sugar barrels. p

BIRCHES. 


Three species of birch are of commercial importance in Pennsylvania. They 
are sweet or cherry birch, in Pennsylvania often called black birch (Betula 
lenta), well distributed throughout the State; yellow birch (Betula lutea), 
found mainly on altitudes associated with beech, maple, ash, and elm; and 
that called red or river birch (Betula nigra), of little commercial impor- 
tance, inhabiting the banks of streams and rivers in all parts of the State. 
In 1912, the cut of birch in Pennsylvania exceeded by nearly 8,000,000 feet the 
quantity of State-grown lumber reported by the manufacturers, these fac- 
tories drawing forty-three per cent. of their requirements from the producing 
regions of other States, principally New York and Vermont. Sweet birch 
lumber can be identified by the fact that its sapwood is nearly white and its 
heartwood red or nearly black. It is a fine wood, hard and strong, easily 
worked, takes a high polish, due, it is claimed, to the bright lining of the 
wood cells, and takes stains readily, which allows its use in imitation of more 


45 


expensive cabinet woods. It has an intermediate grain, is hard, dense, heavy, 
moderately stiff, tough and durable, rather difficult to season, hard to split, 
and rather easy to work. Curly birch is an accidental structure in the wood, 
due to cross grain corresponding to the similarly figured maples and is 
highly prized by cabinet makers and manufacturers of high class furniture. 
Yellow birch is also an excellent wood. Much of it is marketed with sweet 
birch without distinction. In Pennsylvania it was not possible to determine 
to what extent the two woods were desired for similar purposes, or for what 
uses the manufacturers preferred the one to the other; so accordingly they 
have been presented in this report under one name. 

In vehicle making birch bolts are used extensively in competition with elm 
for hubs, and it is in this industry that the red or river birch finds its chief 
market. Birch lumber cut from river birch is usually of low grade and most 
of that used in Pennsylvania was reported’ by the box makers, who used 
birch of all species in larger amounts than any other industry. The planing 
mills and fixture makers demanded birch for interior trim in imitation of 
mahogany, and the furniture makers called for it for the same reason be- 
cause it is the nearest approach to mahogany of any of the domestic woods.

THE HICKORIKS. 


Two industries in Pennsylvania, vehicle parts and handles, together use 
nearly five-sixths of the 18,000,000 feet of hickory going into products of final 
manufacture. The remainder is divided in varying small amounts among eigh- 
teen industries, of which car building, making of mine sprags, and machine 
construction are the principal ones. On account of the. variety of special 
uses for which hickory is demanded, a large amount of waste is occasioned, 
both in the preparation of the raw material as well as in the finished commod- 
ity. This waste probably exceeds that of any other valuable hardwood. 

Six species of hickory grow in Pennsylvania and some of them are found 
more or less generally throughout the State. In the tree they can be readily 
identified by their botanical characteristics, but when cut into lumber the 
species are difficult to distinguish. The information available to guide in 
their separation was so meager that they are therefore presented in this re- 
port under the generic name hickory. The growing scarcity of hickory, to- 
gether with the fact that no suitable substitutes have been found for it in a 
number of its special uses, accounts for the high average price the manu- 
facturers paid for it. Apart from its scarcity, the wood is a most valuable 
one, owing to its combination of qualities of extraordinary hardness, 
strength, toughness, and flexibility. No such combination exists in any other 
domestic hardwood. Further, it has a straight grain, is moderately elastic, 
hard to split, and very perishable; it is a difficult wood to season and to work 
and to be made to hold its shape.

THE ASHES. 


Ash is one of the most widely distributed of the North American trees. 
It ranges from the Rocky Mountain states eastward through every state but 
Maine, and the fact that 606 Pennsylvania sawmills in 1912 reported cutting 
this wood, indicates that the tree is also well distributed throughout this 
State. Manufacturers do not distinguish the species for particular uses but, 
like the oaks, they separate them into classes, white ash and black ash. 
In Pennsylvania the white ash (Fraxinus americana) and black ash (Fraxvinus 
nigra) are the most important commercial species of ash growing within the 
State and they make up the bulk of the material which the Pennsylvania 
manufacturers consume. The white ash is one of Pennsylvania’s valuable 
hardwoods. It possesses a coarse, straight grain, fine texture, is moderately 
hard and strong, besides being rather resilient and tough. However, it lacks 
durability. The manufacture of vehicle parts, handles, agricultural imple- 
ments, boats, sporting goods, and framework of various kinds where the 
cualities of strength and toughness are desired call principally for white ash, 
both in Pennsylvania and the country at large. 

The uses of black ash are quite different from those of the white ash be- 
cause of its different qualities. It is much softer, not as strong or as elastic, 
and is more durable. Black ash has a pronounced attractive figure and is 
more desirable for decorative work. It is, therefore, called on to meet 
large demands for interior finish of houses, railroad and trolley cars. The 
lack of taste and odor makes ash valuable for containers of foodstuffs, such 
as butter tubs, woodenware, flour barrels, and boxes of various kinds. Only 
forty-six per cent. of the ash going into further manufacture was State- 
grown, in spite of the fact that the lumber cut exceeded by over 4,000,000 
feet the amount of home-grown material used.

elm (Ulmus americana) and cork elm (Ulmus racemosa); but it is possible 
that small quantities of slippery elm (Ulmus pubescens)=(U. fulva) were used, 
but because it is cut in this State in only small quantities it is usually mar- 
keted mixed with white elm and, therefore, was not identified and reported 
separately. Cork elm is the most valuable of the three elms because the 
wood is most durable, but white elm in Pennsylvania is the most abundant 

species and composes the largest proportion of the 3,000,000 feet of elm that 
the Pennsylvania sawmills cut in 1912. Elm, irrespective of species, is’ one 
of the strongest and most elastic hardwoods growing in Pennsylvania. In 
addition to being heavy, tough, hard, and dense, it is hard to work and 
difficult to season. The two species reported are together demanded by 16 
industries. The largest amount of the cork elm went to the vehicle maker, 
while the chair industry was foremost in demanding the white elm. The 
trunk makers also bid for a large amount of this wood for slat material.

COTTONWOOD. a 
(Populus deltoides). 


Cottonwood belongs to a widely distributed tree family, which includes the 
willows, aspen, balm of gilead, and other poplars (not yellow poplar). The 
cottonwood referred to in this report is the Populus deltoides, the tree found 
in large sizes and most abundant in the lower Mississippi Valley. It grows 
in moist soil in almost all the states east of the Rocky Mountains. Owing 
to the difficulty in seasoning cottonwood, it is better adapted for veneer than 
lumber. Yellow and white cottonwood are often distinguished in trade. The 
former refers to the heartwood, the latter to the light colored sapwood of 
the tree. However, the amount consumed for veneer production in the United 
States is only about 10 per cent. of the lumber cut. The manufacturers of 
built up lumber used this wood in large amounts as veneer. On account of 
its qualities of toughness, flexibility, and its capacity for being easily worked, 
it is especially adapted for bent work as in vehicle bodies and auditorium 
chairs. It is also popular with trunk makers for trunk boxes and tops. The 
lumber serves many uses as a substitute for basswood and yellow poplar, and, 
like these woods, is light, weak, and non-durable; but of fine even texture and 
a lack of taste and odor. The last two named qualities commend it as a 
material for food containers, while for packing cases and crates its other excel- 
lent qualities, combined with its whitish color, make it especially desirable as 
a background for printing and stenciling. This tree is not commonly cut 
in Pennsylvania, which accounts for the fact that only about one and one- 
half per cent. of the total amount used was State-grown. JHleven industries 


4 


50 


together demand over six and one-third million feet of cottonwood, of which 
74 per cent. is used by the box industry, nearly 8 per cent. for laundry ap- 
pliances, and 6 per cent. by the furniture makers.

THE GUMS. 


Black gum is the common name given in various states to three trees, 
black or sour gum (Nyssa sylvatica), cotton gum or tupelo (Nyssa aquatica) , 
and water gum (Nyssa biflora), all belonging to the dogwood family. Red 
“gum, though it bears the name of “gum” does not belong to the same family 
and, therefore, has been discussed under a separate heading. One of the 
above named species, the black or sour gum, grows within the State. It is 
found in wet lowlands and along the slopes of the foothills and mountains. 
It is not abundant and only a little over 5 per cent. of the total of nearly 
‘5,000,000 feet used by 11 industries is State-grown wood. It attracts atten- 
tion by its bright green summer foliage, which in the autumn turns to brilliant 
yellow and red, and also by its clusters of two or three oblong berries of 
‘hluish black color and sour taste. The woced of this tree has an interlaced 
‘fiber and is difficult to split and work; hence it is valuable for certain special 
uses, such as vehicle hubs, pulleys, mine rollers, mauls, mallets, and cogs. 
In the South it is cut into veneer and goes into wooden dishes, berry cups, 
fruit baskets, and veneer boxes,

CHERRY. 
(Prunus serotina). 


In the lumber cut of cherry, Pennsylvania is second only to West Virginia. 
Notwithstanding the fact that the production of cherry in Pennsylvania is 
nearly 5,000,000 feet more than the consumption, one-third of the require- 
ments of the manufacturers was supplied by the forests of other states. 
Black cherry is the only cherry species used commercially. Its technical 
quality is high in that it combines strength and hardness, a fine straight 
grain, compact structure, and stability. It also takes a fine polish and excels 
most other hardwoods in its capacity to hold its shape. It is this quality 
which commends it for electrotype backing. In Pennsylvania this is its chief 
use. The car manufacturers give it preference over any other domestic wood 
for the best grade interior finish of passenger coaches. It is a favorite with 
the fixture and furniture manufacturers. The qualities, in addition to those 


mentioned above, are durability, stiffness, density, and ease in splitting. It 
is somewhat brittle, with a fine, straight grain.

BLACK WALNUT. 
(Juglans nigra). 

The cut of black walnut in Pennsylvania is.equal to three times the total 
consumed by the factories and five times the quantity of the home grown wood 
that they report. Black walnut is the most expensive hardweod native to 
Pennsylvania and was demanded by 17 industries. It is very durable, easy 
to work, hard, porous, strong, stiff, heavy, stable in place, non-elastic, and 
with an intermediate straight grain. The makers of caskets and coffins used

HORNBEAM. 


(Ostrya virginiana). : 
Hornbeam is frequently called ironwood because of its great weight and 
strength. It has an intermediate grain, is somewhat contorted, is very 
hard and dense, tough, stiff, durable, and difficult to split, besides being 
heavy, difficult to season and hard to work, but capable of wearing smooth 
by use. The wood being heavy, tough, and resilient, is used extensively by 
the handle makers and the manufacturers of vehicle parts. Its other uses 
in this State are for mine sprags and for sides of cheese boxes. It is possible 
that the material reperted for the last named use may have been blue beech 
(Carpinus caroliniana), which is also called ironwood and closely resembles 
hornbeam. Nearly three-fourths of the total amount of the material that is 
used was supplied by the State, while of that coming from a distance a part 
was supplied by Canadian forests.

BLACK LOCUST. 
(Robinia pseudacacia—R. Pseuco-Acacia). 

All the black locust used by the Pennsylvania manufacturers was grown 
in the State, and in quantity was equal to more than one-tenth of the total 
lumber cut of locust in the United States. This was because the wood is 
demanded for uses which usually require raw material in the forms of billets 
and bolts, and it is an exception that it leaves the sawmills in the form of. 
planks or boards. Only three industries use this wood in Pennsylvania and 
two of them cut it into billet form. They are the makers of insulator pins, 
brackets, and mine sprags. The third industry, vehicle part manufacture, 
purchases locust in bolt form and uses it for wagon hubs. This species has 
the distinction of being the most durable native hardwood both in the open 
when exposed and in contact with the ground, thus accounting for its exten- 
sive demand for fence posts. It has a coarse, straight grain, is hard, porous, 
heavy, and tough, splits easily, holds its shape well, and easily turned.

CUCUMBER. 


(Magnolia acuminata). 

This tree frequents the mountain slopes and grows to large and symmetrical 
dimensions. It is a member of the magnolia family, which includes the yellow 
poplar. It derives its name from the similarity in form and appearance of 
its fruit cone to the cucumber. The appearance and technical quality of the 
wood so resemble yellow poplar and the uses of the two are so nearly identical 
that as a rule they are marketed together without distinction. Owing to this 
fact it is probable that the manufacturers use more cucumber than the table 
shows, and it also accounts for Pennsylvania’s not being included with West 
Virginia and Virginia in the production of this kind of lumber. The prin- 
cipal industries using this wood are planing mill products and boxes.

BUCKEYE. 


Buckeye, like cucumber, often loses its identity and goes to market mixed 
with yellow poplar. It is called for separately by the manufacturers of arti- 
ficial limbs to meet what may probably be termed its most exacting use, but 
for this purpose was not reported in Pennsylvania. The wood is light, 
soft, cross grained, compact, and difficult to split. The color is creamy 
white and so uniform that the sapwood can hardly be distinguished from the 
heartwood. Two species of buckeye are native to Pennsylvania, the fetid 
buckeye (Aesculus glabra) and the yellow or sweet buckeye (Aesculus 
octandra). The western part of this State is the eastern limit of both species 
and it is impossible to ascertain the quantity of each that the manufacturers 
use. This wood is more evenly distributed among the various classes of manu- 
facture calling for it than any other shown in this report.

APPLEWOOD. 
(Pyrus species). 

This wood may be of many species and is consumed in larger quantities 
in Pennsylvania than in any other state in which reports similar to this 
have been made. It is demanded for a few special purposes, the manufac- 
ture of smoking pipes being the most important, while under the heading 
of printing material, it is used for wood type. As in other states, it is used 
for making carpenters’ tools, particularly handsaw handles.

DOGWOOD. 


(Cornus florida). 


Nearly all of the dogwood going into final manufacture in Pennsylvania 
was grown in the State. It is exceedingly hard, strong, of compact structure, 
and tough, and these qualities together with its ability to wear smooth give 
it preference over any other wood in the manufacture of shuttles, and com- 
mend it for mine sprags. These two industries use 95 per cent. of the total 
amount reported. Three other industries use the remainder.

PERSIMMON. 
(Diospyros virginiana). 

The persimmon tree belongs to the ebony family which is confined largely 
to tropical regions. The wood has all the good qualities of ash, works more 
smoothly, and retains a friction polish. Besides it has a very fine, rather 
straight grain, and is hard, strong, tough, porous, very heavy, and 
splits easily. Persimmon has two important uses for which there is extensive 
demand, last-blocks for children’s shoes, and shuttles used in textile mills. 
In the country at large, the greatest quantity probably goes to the latter in- 
dustry, but in Pennsylvania:the makers of boot and shoe findings used all 
but 124 per cent. of the quantity consumed.

BUTTERNUT. 


(Juglans cinerea). 

Butternut is relatively common on good soil in Pennsylvania. It is used 
by a greater number of industries in this State than in any other. Nearly 92 
per cent. of the total quantity used in Pennsylvania is grown in the State. 
The most surprising fact in connection with the use of this wood is the con- 
sumption of butternut for excelsior at the low price of $15 per thousand feet. 
The excelsior makers used more than one-third of all reported, while the 
fixture manufacturers, the ship builders, and the manufacturers of pulleys 
were the next in importance, these four industries together consuming 74 per 
cent. of the total. The rest went to four other industries in varying small 
amounts. Butternut is often called white walnut. Its qualities include 
porousness, brittleness, stiffness, lack of resiliency, capacity to split, easy 
to work, and it is considerably lighter, weaker, and less durable than black 
walnut.

MINOR SPECIES. 


Domestic woods used in only small amounts, and not of sufficient im- 
portance to discuss separately, are as follows: Holly (American), used by 
the novelty makers, brought in from the southern Mississippi Valley; State- 
grown aspen (popple), used for excelsior; willow for woodenware, likewise 
produced in the State; home-grown mountain laurel used by the furniture 
makers; and sassafras cut in Maryland and purchased by the ship builders. 


FOREIGN WOODS. 


This term is employed to cover all woods brought into Pennsylvania from 
foreign countries other than Canada. There are ten of them and Spanish 
cedar in quantity is the most important. 

Only two states have shown so large a consumption of Spanish cedar as 
Pennsylvania. Nearly 6,000,000 feet is consumed annually and comes prin- 
cipally from the West Indies and Mexico. This tree is not a softwood like the 
native cedars, nor is it related. It has broad leaves, confining its range to 
the tropical countries. Its aromatic odor, pleasing color, and lightness, to- 
gether with the fact that it holds its shape and is easily worked, make it~ 
-the favorite cigar box wood. Boat builders and furniture makers in Pennsyl- 
vania also report this wood in small quantities. 

Over 3,500,000 feet of mahogany is brought into the State each year. The 
furniture makers use the largest amount, although 17 other classes of manu- 
facturers demand it for raw material, and seven of them in quantities ex- 
ceeding 100,000 feet. The supply of true mahogany comes from Mexico, 
the West Indies, Central America, and a few states in South America,. but 
it was not possible in any way to ascertain which of these countries sup- 
‘plied the Pennsylvania factories, as mahogany lumber is purchased from 
American dealers who import the logs and cut them in this country. 

Ebony comes next as to quantity among the imported woods and surpasses 
the consumption of this wood in any other state. The most is used for um- 
brella handles although the demand for smoking pipe material is also con- 
siderable. There are many species of ebony and they are found in various 
countries. Probably the kind coming from Madagascar and India is used 
most commonly in this country. 


60 


Boxwood comes to this country from Turkey and the West Indies. From 
the high average price paid for that used in Pennsylvania, it is safe to con- 
clude that most of it was Turkish wood which is much more costly. Box- 
wood was imported into this State to make shuttles for silk weaving and to 
furnish material for wood engravings. 

Teakwood, strong and very hard, and with a smooth oily texture, is im- 
ported from Ceylon, Siam, and India, and in Pennsylvania the entire supply 
went to two industries, ship building and patterns. 

Circassian walnut grows in the mountains in southern Russia near the 
Black Sea. While very expensive. it is held in high favor in this country for 
furniture, store, office, and bar fixtures, and cabinet work. It is nearly 
always used as veneer with a backing or core of an inexpensive native wood. 

The olive wood went to the smoking pipe manufacturers. It was brought 
from France in the form of billets. 

Rosewood was the highest priced wood that was purchased in the form of 
lumber by the Pennsylvania manufacturers. -It is a native of Central America 
and the northern states of South America. 

Lignum-vitae was imported in log or in bolt form from practically the same 
region as rosewood. It is a wood of special value on account of its extra- 
ordinary weight and strength. Bowling balls are turned from this wood after 
long and careful seasoning. 

The eucalyptus used in Pennsylvania comes from Australia. and goes to 
the furniture makers. The eucalyptus grown in the United States is not 
valued for so many uses as is the imported wood.

PART II. 


INDUSTRIBS. 

The kinds of wood the Pennsylvania manufacturers demand, their botanical 
relations, their sources, and their qualities, have been discussed in Part I. 
tn Part II are considered the factories using the different woods, and the 


the extent to which they call 


for them, and the uses to which they put them according to inherent qualities. 
For convenience the discussions are divided into classes called industries and 
thase making similar or closely related commodities are grouped together. 
In Pennsylvania there are 51, and Table 46 following shows how the more 
than 1,100,000,000 feet of lumber yearly manufactured in the State is ap- 
portioned among them. The largest industry requires nearly 280,000,000 feet 
of raw material, 14 others more than 10,000,000 each, and the smallest less 


than 100,000. 


A few other industries which could not be separated because 


the factories composing them numbered fewer than three, have been grouped

In the consumption of wood four classes of factories in Pennsylvania lead 
all other states: brushes, patterns and flasks, 


toys, 


and mine equipment; 


in seven others the State stood second; car construction, printing material, 
caskets and coffins, laundry appliances, playground equipment, machine 
construction, and tobacco pipes. The State was third in box making and 
the manufacture of wooden clock cases. Excelsior factories, manufacturers 
of insulator pins and brackets, and the makers of butcher blocks and skewers 
were the only industries procuring all of their wood from the forests of 
the State. Nineteen others use a larger amount of State-grown than shipped- 
in material, leaving 29 that find the major portion of their wood supply out 
of the State, every industry reported the purchase of some Pennsylvania 
wood. It is surprising that the box makers, who use only low grades, used 
more shipped-in material than any other industry, while on the other hand, 
the handle makers, who usually seek their raw material over a wide extent 
of territory, procured considerably over two-thirds of their needs within 
the State. 

Nearly $32,500,000 are annually expended by the Pennsylvania wood users 
for raw material. Not over 20 per cent. of this is paid for home-grown woods, 


63 


leaving not less than $25,000,000, a large portion of which each year goes to 
other states. In a. great many cases this purchase money could be expended 
at home, since it is quite evident that the State is not manufacturing as much 
of its annual cut as is possible. On the succeeding pages the several industries 
are considered separately in the order of the quantity of wood consumed. 


PLANING MILL PRODUCTS. 


The extent to which lumber is used in Pennsylvania in the manufacture of 
building materials is shown statistically in Table 47. This does not, of course, 
include large quantities of rough lumber used for construction which needs 
no further change than the hatchet, chisel, and saw to fit it to place on 
the building. The factories grouped into this industry include four classes. , 
(1) Factories specializing in the manufacture of sash, doors, and blinds or 
any one of these commodities. Formerly these products were made by small 
mills operating in nearly every town and city in Pennsylvania doing a general 
planing mill business but within recent years specialty manufacturing in 
enormous quantities has demonstrated that these commodities can be manu- 
factured, distributed, and sold cheaper than they can be made at home in 
small quantities. (2) Factories producing only planing mill products or the 
more universal commodities kept in stock like flooring, ceiling, siding, stock 
finish, ete. Planing mills operated in connection with large sawmills are 
the principal source of these commodities but portable mills having planers 
and local sash and door factories also produce large quantities. In this class 
are included mills specializing in the manufacture of hardwood flooring which 
in Pennsylvania is an important industry, also parquetry flooring. (38) There 
are planing mills and builders’ factories engaged in the general planing mill 
business. This class is the most numerous and widely distributed over the 
State. They manufacture chiefly according to special design and usually for 
local consumption. Included in their production are special size sash, doors, 
blinds, and in small quantities floorings, ceiling, ete., besides material for 
window and door frames, stair work, cupboards, mantels, panel work, colon- 
nades, grills, and all exterior and interior house finish. A number of fac- 
tories belonging to this class are formidable industries, especially those located 
in cities. (4) Industries other than wood-using that maintain a woodworking 
shop equipped to manufacture various commodities like those mentioned above 
for their own needs and mainly for the repair and upkeep of their own plant. 
Steel mills, collieries, railroad companies, textile mills, and various other 
large manufacturing enterprises are examples. ; 

Qver 25 per cent. of the lumber cut of the United States is demanded for 
manufacturing products belonging to this industry and more wood and a 
greater number of kinds goes into this line of manufacture than into any other. 
It is not surprising, therefore, that these same facts apply to Pennsylvania 
and that in this report the planing mill industry as to quantity leads all 
others. The table following lists the kinds and amounts of woods used but in 
no manner does it represent all the lumber required in the State in this line. 

Forty-four kinds of wood were reported by the factories grouped under this 
industry which is the largest number making up any of the forty-eight indus- 
tries comprising this report. This can probably be explained by the many 
and varied uses of lumber for building purposes in which operations range 
as in Pennsylvania from the construction of a rude shanty to expensive 
palatial residences. 

An examination of the list of woods in the table shows that a number of 
the species used in large amounts do not grow plentifully in the State. The 
Pacific coast states furnished a considerable quantity, including western white 


64 


pine, western yellow pine, redwood, Douglas fir, western red cedar, Sitka 
spruce, and sugar pine. The region of the southern states contributed large 
amounts, equivalent to 34 per cent. of all, including more particularly the 
several species of southern yellow pine lumber and cypress. The Ohio valley, 
the Lake states, and New England, sent in varying amounts, which explains 
the comparatively small quantity of home-grown woods used by the planing 
mills. It must be remembered, however, a large number of these species are 
not common lumber trees in Pennsylvania. 

Only 28 per cent. of the total amount of lumber used was produced in the 
State. But of the species consumed that are plentifully cut in Pennsylvania, 
the reports show the demand for a high per cent. of home-grown woods. For 
instance, over 45 per cent. of the white pine, 67 per cent. of the hemlock, one- 
third of the chestnut, 80 per cent. of the sugar maple and beech, 60 per cent. 
of the birch, and half of the basswood reported by the planing mills, were 
cut from State timber, indicating the importance the forests bear to the de- 
velopment of the State. The planing mill industry is not only the most promi- 
nent wood consuming industry in the State but it appeals more widely to the 
interest of every class of citizens than any other. In order that the supply of 
lumber the State contributes for building material may be maintained and 
probably increased in the future, it is necessary to protect and improve the 
forests as far as possible. With this in view the Commonwealth has put into 
effect and has in operation a progressive forest policy which if given popular 
support will help to solve the problem of future lumber supply.

BOXES. 


Next to building material, more wood goes for making boxes and crates 
in Pennsylvania than for any other use. Over six hundred factories reported 
the information collated in Table 48. Not more than half of these were regular 
box manufacturers, as is shown by the list of names in the appendix. There 
are included glass factories, steel mills, refractories, machinery manufactur- 
ers, makers of electrical apparatus, foundries, furniture makers, silk and 
textile mills,- paper factories, large jobbing and department stores, etc., 
which maintain box departments for making packages and shipping contain- 
ers to meet their own requirements. The uses of boxes are so numerous in 
Pennsylvania that it is not practical to attempt to mention or list them. 
Generally it can be said they are of two kinds, set-up boxes and box shooks. 
The former includes the nailed, the reinforced, the veneer, the locked corner, 
and dovetailed, or boxes that are sold ready to use. The nailed box is 
usually sold in the locality in which it is made. It is rarely shipped put 
together. The large number of this kind accounted for in Pennsylvania was 
principally in the large cities where there is an extensive demand or else near 
to factories and mills using the wooden packages. The reinforced box is a 
nailed box, the nailed joints and often the body of the box being reinforced 
with cleats, wire, or steel bands. These are used for shipping ponderous ma- 
terials where the package is subjected to great strain. Of late this method has 
also become popular for containers for light materials, including large boxes 
for millinery, etc., when only very thin resawed material about three-eighths 
to one-fourth inch is used and the necessary strength supplied by the cleats. Re- 
shippers belong to this class, most frequently reinforced with steel bands.

They are box crates for carrying back and forth bottled goods and are made 
of strong material. All that are used in Pennsylvania are not made in the 
State. Many are shipped in from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. 

The veneer box has recently made remarkable progress. The question of 
saving in weight and the revenue from the sale of second hand boxes, which 
lately is being given considerable attention by shippers, has helped the veneer 
package. The single ply box, wire bound, competes actively with the fiber 
shipping box but the progress these have made is not so surprising as that 
of the three ply veneer box. In these the sides, top, and bottom are panels 
built of three sheets of veneer with the grain transversing and well supported 
with cleats of thick material. The panels are not only strong and light in 
weight but the appearance of the single piece sides makes an attractive pack- 
age. The glue pot enters as an important factor in their manufacture as a 
good glue joint is the most essential requirement, and, if assured, panel 
making is simple and makes both for economy and efficiency. Many more 
of these boxes are shipped into Pennsylvania knocked down than are made in 
the State. The panel makers are largely in the south where the stands of 
cheap veneer woods, principally the gums, are easily accessible. 

White pine and basswood are the woods for dovetailed and locked corner 
boxes and large quantities are annually demanded for their making. These 
are small size containers but probably present the most attractive appearance 
of any form of wooden packages. They are used for articles of food, pow- 
dered substances, jewelry, etc., as the close joints make them more dust 
and moisture proof. The dovetailed box requires no gluing but the locked 
corner does. Both kinds are made in Pennsylvania, the latter in the largest 
quantities. Boxes with the bevel joint corner are not made any more in large 
quantities. Only a few manufacturers in Pennsylvania reported them. 

Shooks are knocked down boxes sold conveniently bundled to facilitate their 
being assembled and nailed. Different from nailed boxes made and sold in the 
same region, shooks are manufactured close to the source of the raw material 
and sent over long distances to consuming centers. A large part of the boxes 
used in Pennsylvania, but not made there, are brought in in shook form. 
Shook making includes both shooks for boxes and knock-down crates. Rough 
lumber of any thickness or kind used to do for crating, and the lumber yard 
rather than the box factory was the source of the supply. Today the manu- 
facturer shipping his wares in crates desires to express as much character in 
his package as do those using box containers. In consequence, the shook 
makers are called on for neat and attractively designed crates and like shooks 
they are sold with the several parts bundled together, due attention having 
been given to the size, kind, and thickness of the material in accordance 
with the weight and character of the goods to be shipped in them. 

Another increasing use for crating is the growing tendency to crate articles 
of steel, iron, and other infrangible metals which heretofore were shipped un- 
boxed. This more especially applies to Pennsylvania than any other state 
because of the number of industries manufacturing steel and iron products. 
Massive parts of machinery and electrical apparatus, sheet steel, engines 
and motors, parts of steel bridges, farm machinery, steam and hot water 
radiators, stoves and ranges, galvanized iron goods, steel frames for street 
cars, etc., are examples, and crating is intended more to prevent scarring 
the finish than to protect from breakage. 

As Table 48 shows, the Pennsylvania box makers do not demand a few 
kinds of wood greatly in excess of others. Nor do they use State-grown woods 
in preference to lumber that comes from other timbered regions. There were 
34 kinds of wood and the total of 11 were shipped in from other states. Of 


67 


these the principal were several species of southern pine, and the gums that 
come chiefly from Virginia and the Carolinas. The total quantity is equiva- 
lent to 65 per cent. of the total box material used. White pine, chestnut, hem- 
lock, yellow poplar, and beech were in quantity the principal Pennsylvania 
woods reported, and cherry, sycamore, and butternut the only kinds re- 
ported as entirely home grown. Considering the cut of hemlock in the State, 
the amount used for boxes and crates was disappointing. But in this par- 
ticular, this report should prove most useful as with the names and addresses 
of the box makers and of those using lumber for crating the opportunity is 
given for increasing the home market for the low grades of lumber cut in 
the State. 

Woods are listed in the table that are rarely used for packing boxes. Their 
appearance can be accounted for by the fact that they are for novelties which 
are more or less fancy boxes like sewing cases, for toilet articles, utility 
boxes, shoe polishing outfits, and those more or less ornamental used in stores 
for keeping cutlery, jewelry, drugs, ete.

CAR CONSTRUCTION. 


Formerly all rolling stock except locomotive engines were built of wood 
but in recent years cars made entirely of metal or of wood with steel under- 
frame equipment have begun to be substituted both for freight and passenger 
cars; and in the increasing extent in which they are meeting the demand 
each year, it is safe to predict that the amount of wood used in this industry 
will show a rapid decline. In this connection it is interesting to note that the 
last session of Congress in the interest of public safety had four bills pend- 
ing requiring replacement of wooden passenger cars with steel equipment on 
all railroads. This movement is largely in accord with the present policy of 
the railroads as recent statistics show that approximately 90 per cent. of the 
passenger cars ordered for future delivery were specified to be of steel con- 
struction. 

Notwithstanding the increasing substitution of metal for wood in car build- 
ing, lumber in large amounts is still in demand. In Pennsylvania 228,000,000 
feet or more reported for building or repair of cars for 1911 made that in- 
dustry as to consumption third in the State. The building of cars of all kinds 
is represented by Table 49. Electric cars for city and interurban transporta- 
tion is a division of the industry which requires special mention as more wood 
is used for passenger vehicle equipment in this line than in any other. Vast 
amounts of lumber are required each year for building mine cars. The num- 
ber of mining establishments appearing in the directory appended to this 
report indicates to what extent work of this kind is done by wood-using de- 
partments maintained in connection with mining operations. Only one other 
state exceeds Pennsylvania in the quantity of wood used for car construction. 
The order of the principal states and the amount consumed is as follows: 


TNinoise sy... ssa 407,000,000 feet 
Pennsylvania, ..... 228,000,000 feet 
New York, ........ 77,000,000 feet 
nei may vac ewede eke 59,000,000 feet 
QHIO Le eS Sains 56,000,000 feet 
Missouri, i202... 51,000,000 feet 
Win einiays cin sects 51,000,000 feet 


Twenty-nine woods were used by the car builders in Pennsylvania and long- 
leaf pine heads the list, contributing a little over one-third of the total. The 
superior tensile strength of this wood, its durable properties, and being 
easy to fit brings it first in demand by the car builder. If all the species of 
southern yellow pine were combined the amount would represent over one- 
half the car material reported and taking into consideration the needs of this 
industry in other states this wood is pre-eminently the principal wood for 
car construction. Lumber brought from the western states is not used so ex- 
tensively in Pennsylvania as in other eastern states. Douglas fir and west- 
ern white pine appear in the table but they were demanded in very limited 
quantities. The progress made of late in the use of steel underframes for cars 
of all kinds and especially gondolas and box cars has perhaps affected the 
use of oak more than any other wood as when these basal parts are made of 
wood, oak, preferably white and chestnut oak, are the kinds most extensively 
called for. The great strength of oak and its shock resisting capacity still 
brings it into wide use for car framing and such purposes, like draft timbers, 
tie beams, engine beams, platforms, truck parts, etc., and on account of its 
conspicuous figure, for interior finish of passenger and trolley cars. In this 
latter capacity it served with ash, birch, yellow poplar, cherry, mahogany, 
walnut, and red gum. Ash, poplar, and Douglas fir are the woods used in 


69 


building the principal parts of locomotive cabs. The floors of the cabs are 
of sugar maple, the bumpers, pilots, and other parts of the engines are 
made of white oak. 

The annual drain on the forests of the State by the car builders amounts to 
over 41,000,000 feet. This is less than one-fourth of the total but compared 
with requirements of other states where the industry is important the quantity 
of home-grown car material used in Pennsylvania is the largest. Some part 
of the supply of 20 of the 29 woods were cut in the State. Oak, white pine, 
hemlock, maple, ash, and beech in the order named as to quantity being the 
most prominent while the statistics for other woods are as follows:

FURNITURE. 


Pennsylvania in the quantity of wood consumed does not compare with a 
number of other states in the manufacture of furniture, but this industry is 
one of the oldest in the State and includes in its production the highest 
grades of furniture and therefore is of considerable economic importance. 
Furntiure can be divided into two general classes: (1) Articles of utility like 
refrigerators, kitchen cabinets, provision safes, cupboards, etc. These are 
not a part of the industry here considered, but like chairs have been pre- 
sented under a separate classification. (2) Commodities where the appear- 
ance is as important as durability. In a large number of instances a piece 


70 

of furniture is not only pleasing to the eye in its ornamental appointments 
but from a practical point of view is made of the most suitable material for 
the purpose.. Wood, on account of its natural, attractive grain will be the 
regular furniture material as long as hardwood timber lasts, and at present 
there is almost as wide a choice of material in this line as there is lumber 
available for more common uses. Of the 85 woods listed in Table 50 some 
part of 22 are wholly or in part decorative woods. Painted or enameled fur- 
niture is again coming into favor and in Pennsylvania a considerable quantity 
of the softer hardwoods was reported for this line of work. 

Among the products included in this industry are bedroom furnitures, 
chiffoniers and bureaus, dining tables and buffets, parlor outfits including up- 
holstered furniture, hall appointments, desks, china closets, and book cases. 
Many of the woods reported went only into parts of furniture not visible, 
such as coring, frames, brackets, reinforcements, drawer slides, bottoms, and 
table slides. 

Of the exterior woods for the cheaper grades of furniture, solid woods with 
pronounced grain are most available like red and white oak, ash, chestnut, red 
gum, butternut, etc. The more expensive work is usually backed with a 
fairly strong wood adaptable to glue, stable when in place and finished with 
veneer. This method produces the most pleasing and attractive effects and 
a permanence rarely to be achieved by the use of solid woods. Indeed it is a 
rare occasion when the expensive woods such as mahogany, Circassian wal- 
nut, rosewood, bird’s eye maple, black walnut, etc., are used in Solid pieces. 
Veneer is purchased from the veneer mills according to surface measure, the 
sheets ranging from 1/24 to ? inch in thickness. The foreign woods are import- 
ed in the form of logs and flitches and are cut to veneer by mills in this coun- 
try. Cores or backing for veneer are made of solid and built-up lumber pur- 
chased ready-made with several layers of cheap domestic woods glued with 
grains transversing. This material has the advantage of being freer from warp- 
ing tendencies than lumber, besides being lighter, having exceptional strength, 
and not liable to split. A number of the most particular uses of the several 
woods shown in the table for furniture have been arranged in the following 
order:

CHAIRS. i 


Pennsylvania is one of the three leading states in the manufacture of chairs. 
Over 30,000,000 feet of wood is annually required for their manufacture and 
of this amount considerably over half is furnished by the forests of the State. 
The order of the first six states in quantity of wood consumed for chairs is 
as follows: Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New 
York, and Vermont. It may occur to some that chairs should be grouped with 
furniture but in Pennsylvania as in other states their manufacture is essen- 
tially a distinct industry, generally the form of the raw material is different, 
the processes of manufacture are in nowise similar, and the products are 
marketed separately. 

Dimension stock is the form of raw material that is utilized in the chair 
industry perhaps to a greater extent than any other. Sawmills cutting hard- 
woods and factories using them, principally beech, birch, and maple, often 
operate as a side line the bolting of low grades and waste into these squares. 


74 


Many go as far as to turn the dimensions on lathes after bolting and sell them 
in that form to chair factories ready to assemble. In the case of the lumber- 
men, frequently small crooked logs, tops, wind shakes, cut offs, which can be 
worked for sale in no other way, are thus disposed of. The chair makers, 
therefore, play an important part not only in lending to the industrial de- 
velopment of the State but also to the movement of conservation in their ef- 
forts to encourlage utilization or waste. One manufacturer purchases hardwood 
slabs and edgings from a nearby sawmill and transports this material to his 
factory for turning handles and chair stock. Another purchases part of the 
refuse of hardwood stave manufacturers, selects the core and other large 
pieces, and converts them into chair dowels and rungs. 

Chair dimensions include stock of various sizes and kinds for the large 
number of different designs the chair manufacturers turn out. Table 51 shows 
the number and kinds of woods that were used in Pennsylvania. Not all 
chair material is in dimensions by any means. Because seats and backs are 
altogether cut out of plank ranging from 14 inches to 24 inches thick and be- 
cause the factories are not able to secure enough dimension and turned ma- 
terial to meet their requirements, they are compelled to buy large quanti- 
ties of plank and rip them up into squares for posts, pillars, spindles, 
rounds, dowels, etc. The chair stock is always seasoned before used, but 
those producing squares and turned stock often use unseasoned wood allow- 
ing it to air-dry under cover: after being manufactured. To prevent loss 
caution is taken to make allowance for shrinkage and the producer is particu- 
lar to see to it that the chair stock is straight grained, practically free from 
defects, and accurately manufactured to conform to specifications. 

Perhaps the largest part of the wood used in Pennsylvania is required for 
turned chairs but quantities are also demanded for straight line designs where 
the parts are cut considerably wider than they are thick. The demand for 
these in late years has been on the increase and has led up to the mission 
patterns in which the stock is still wider and heavier. 

Unlike the parts of turned chairs, the manufacturers do not buy their 
material for the square designs to any extent in the form of dimensions 
but usually cut them from plank. This is unfortunate because the sawmills 
have a considerable amount of waste which it is practical to cut into dimen- 
sion stuff suitable for this line of manufacture. Millmen should note this 
opportunity and consider negotiations for furnishing this material from 
waste; and, on the other hand, the economy to ,the manufacturers should 
induce the latter to consider the advisability of making overtures to the mill- 
men. Oak, both red and white, ash, and chestnut are the principal woods 
for chairs of square and mission designs. Other woods like red gum, birch, 
and elm are used and a figure is stamped on them resembling oak, mahogany, 
and other woods. That the better grades of chairs are made in Pennsylvania 
as well as cheaper ones, is evident by the quantity of mahogany brought into 
the State each year to meet the demand. Birch is most used for imitating 
mahogany. Woods used for various parts of chairs are as follows:

VEHICLES AND VEHICLE PARTS. 


The statistics presented in Table 52 represent the wood used both for motor 
and horse drawn vehicles. Though there is considerable material used in 
the manufacture of motor cars including both pleasure cars and commercial 
trucks, fully 90 per cent. of the material reported went into the latter. The 
rapid growth of the automobile industry has greatly increased the demand 
for the vehicle woods, but, according to reports, has not made a correspond- 
ing reduction in the demand for horse drawn vehicles. In fact a number of 
Pennsylvania manufacturers, especially wagon makers, remarked upon the 
increased production of horse drawn vehicles in the last five years; and 
those that formerly specialized in building buggies and wagons and now are 
engaged in making autos have in most cases not relinquished the manufacture 
of the horse vehicle but have increased their facilities and manufacture 
both kinds. 

Often carriage manufacturers are practically nothing more than assemblers 
of parts. They buy the wheels and other portions of the running gears and 
the bodies and tops already manufactured and enter into production only as 
finishers. In the same way wheelwrights and repair shops that are dis- 
tributed in nearly every village and town throughout Pennsylvania purchase 
much of their material like spokes, rims, hubs, hounds, and felloes ready to 
use. Information was not solicited from these classes of establishments as 
the scope of the investigation excludes them. 

The number of manufacturers making vehicle parts is large in Pennsylvania 
and the quantity of wood they consumed represents the largest proportion of 
that shown in the table. Most of this class report making only one commodity 
as hubs, spokes, rims, poles or shafts. A few, however, specialize in manu- 
facturing two, but in no instance were there reported as many as three.

G7 3 

Thirty-two kinds of wood are used by the vehicle industry. That so many 
kinds are required is surprising, but this can probably be accounted for 
by the search being made for substitutes which has brought species heretofore 
little used into this industry for experimentation. For instance, elm was 
formerly the chief hub wood, but now birch has proved practical and large 
quantities are consumed by the hub makers. Yellow locust and black gum 
are also extensively used. Hickory was the principal spoke wood but now 
vast amounts of white and red oak are demanded; while yellow poplar does 
better than any other wood for bodies, large quantities of cottonwood and red 
gum are taking its place and some manufacturers prefer these because they 
do not split so easily and are susceptible of taking a higher polish. White 
ash is chiefly used at the present time for vehicle bows but it is not so wall 
adapted to this use as hickory, white oak, or cork elm. 

Hickory is the premier wood in vehicle making and white oak the next. The 
use of both of these is confined mainly to the production of gear parts. In 
the manufacture of heavy wagons, which is one of the most important divisions 
of this industry in Pennsylvania, white oak and red oak, the latter to a 
much less extent, are in the greatest demand. Yellow poplar, which comes 
third in the list, indicates the high grades of vehicle made in the State, as 
only the high priced carriages, delivery wagons, and automobiles can af- 
ford this wood on account of its cost. In the manufacture of automobile 
bodies and to a small extent for horse drawn vehicles metal has proved a 
formidable competitor of wood, but the fact that it is used for cheaper grades 
indicates that the use of wood gives better results. Next-to yellow poplar, 
ash entered into body construction more than any other wood and in some 
states in which studies similar to this have been made the quantity used in 
this line exceeds that of yellow poplar. In Pennsylvania ash stands fourth. 
All of the rich cabinet woods reported were employed by the automobile 
body makers. ‘

SHIPS AND BOATS. 


The Delaware River’s close and direct connection with the Atlantic Ocean 
as far up as Philadelphia affords sufficient depth and natural advantages to 
make that city one of the principal harbors of the Atlantic coast. All kinds 
of seafaring vessels land at its ports, including men-of-war and ocean liners, 
and railroads have located their terminal docks along its banks on the Pennsyl- 
vania side providing conveniences for the loading of coal, grain, and other 
commodities for export. In the western part of the State the Ohio River 
and its navigable tributaries afford excellent advantages for river navigation 
and accordingly the transportation of coal, sand, ore, lumber, steel, and 
other heavy freight for short hauls has become an important industry. Flat 
bottom boats are the kind used, such as packets, river tugs, barges, scows, 
flats, ete. A number of rivers in Pennsylvania, navigable only for small 
crafts, traverse parts widely known for their picturesque scenery. These 
are rarely used in commerce, but are inviting to the pleasure seekers for 
sailing, rowing, and canoeing. It is evident that in order to meet the local 
demand, the industry of ship and boat building in Pennsylvania must neces- 
sarily be varied. Crafts of all kinds are built in the State, from dreadnaughts 
and ocean steamers down to the shell used by the professional oarsmen. 

In building large vessels, steel construction has, to a large extent taken 
the place of wood. Probably in no other industry has substitution been carried 
so far as in shipbuilding. It has been less than a century when wood for 
this kind of boat was the most important and valuable material used, and 
though still required, its use is only incidental and answers principally for 
decking, interior finish, furniture, masts, spars and booms, armor backing, 
templates, joinery work, etc. Smaller boats like steamers for inland water 
transportation, ferry boats, tugs, etc., use wood more extensively. Their 
hulls are of metal but their superstructure is mainly of wood while river crafts, 


79 


scows, and barges are entirely of wood, and the same is true of small sail 
boats, canoes, launches, and other pleasure craft. 

This industry not only supplies a large part of the local demand but boats 
built in Pennsylvania are sold world wide. Other states have more extensive 
harbor facilities, water fronts, and inland waterways than Pennsylvania, 
but are not comparable in the size and importance of their shipbuilding in- 
dustry. In fact only one state surpasses Pennsylvania in the quantity of 
lumber consumed for boat building. New York in 1912 used 37,700,500 feet 
while other states in order for quantity are as follows:

The uses of wood in boat building are multitudinous. In an ordinary 
schooner made of wood there are 500 different parts separately named. A large 
number of them require lumber with special qualities, which probably ac- 
counts for ithe long list of woods shown in Table 53. It is impossible to under- 
take to specify here the different woods for all parts of the many kinds of 
boats produced in the State but a few of the principal uses of lumber were 
mentioned by the boat builders and from their reports the following list has

CANOES AND(SKIFFS. 


Longleaf pine is the principal species for shipbuilding. 


It is listed ahead 


of all other woods, not only in Pennsylvania but in all the important boat 
building states. Douglas fir is brought from the Pacific coast states especially 
for parts, as is seen above, requiring timbers of large dimensions and long 
lengths. It is easily worked, holds its shape, and, similar to longleaf pine, 
possesses great tensile strength and elasticity. The Pennsylvania ship build- 
ers demand more of this wood than is shown by the same industry in any 
other state. The same is true of hemlock and this is quite significant in that 
it serves principally for bottoms, planking, and other parts of river crafts 
for which white pine heretofore has been most extensively used. White pine 
still meets a portion of the ship builders’ demands, irrespective of its grow- 
ing price. Of the total amount used, 65 per cent. was reported as home 
grown. Mahogany, teak and Spanish cedar were the only foreign woods re- 
ported.

CASKETS AND COFFINS. 


This industry includes, in addition to caskets and coffins, outer or rough 
boxes and shipping cases. Caskets are the burial cases more universally used. 
Coffins, at one time in greater demand, are now but relatively seldom em- 
ployed. They are irregular in form, widest at the part corresponding to the 
shoulders, narrowing slightly towards the head, and considerably at the feet. 
The statistics for Pennsylvania show not over 5 per cent. of the wood de- 
manded by the manufacturers was for coffins. More than this amount is used, 
however, since many coffins are handmade. They are manufactured by cabi- 
netmakers who cater for local trade in all small towns throughout the State. 
The quantity of wood used by one is small, but for a thickly populated state 
like Pennsylvania the aggregate consumption would amount to considerable,, 
although it was found impracticable to collect statistics so widely scattered. 
Black walnut for many years has been the principal coffin wood and it is 
still called on for the better grades. Cheap coffins are of woods that are soft, 
easily worked, and at the same time adaptable to stain and polish. Yellow pop- 
lar is more used than any other kind for both factory and hand made coffins. 
in the southern states cypress is the leading coffin material, on the Pacific 
coast western red cedar, and in the Lake states basswood. 


83 


Twelve woods were reported by casket makers. They range from high 
priced mahogany down to low grades of chestnut and white pine. These burial 
cases are varied in design, some have an octagonal appearance—the cor- 
ners instead of being rectangular are cut off and squared. Some have rounded 
corners, and others are uniformly rectangular. Nearly all are cloth covered 
and though this permits the use of the lower grades, the lumber selected is 
free from the defects which would likely affect the strength and durability 
of the casket. Chestnut is the most used casket wood in all states because it 
has proved especially durable under ground, and it possesses the combined 
qualities of lightness and strength, cheapness, and an affinity for glue that 
holds the cloth. Some of the chestnut used in casket manufacture is of the 
best, but the largest part is the “sound wormy” grade. As far as durability is 
concerned this grade is sufficient and the fact that it is perforated with the 
small worm holes averaging the size of a pin head is an advantage rather than 
a detriment, as in covering the casket these holes afford an additional hold 
for the glue. Other woods generally competing as casket material are yellow 
poplar, red oak, white cedar, cypress, red cedar, white pine, walnut, red 
gum, white oak, sugar maple, and mahogany. All of them go for cloth 
covered caskets and some answer for burial cases finished with natural ap- 
pearance where the wood selected has a handsome grain and is susceptible to 
the highest polish, similar to that on piano cases. High priced caskets are 
of this kind and in addition the most expensive are richly carved. The Penn- 
sylvania manufacturers use quartered red oak and white oak, mahogany, and 
walnut for making these and also to a limited extent red gum, which, from 
the price paid, must have been selected to imitate Circassian walnut. 

The lumber used for outer cases, sometimes called rough boxes, and for 
shipping cases to protect the coffin or casket in transit, is made of similar 
woods, but the latter are more carefully manufactured, stronger and neater 
in appearance. At their destination they serve as rough boxes to receive the 
casket when put into the ground. White pine in Pennsylvania meets most 
of the demand and yellow poplar next. Other species reported were western 
white pine, red cedar, hemlock, chestnut, red oak, and mahogany.

MINE EQUIPMENT. 


In conjunction with the operation of coal mining, there is usually main- 
tained a wood-working department for the manufacture and repair of all 
wooden equipment required in connection with the work. Table 55 includes 
all the kinds of material used for these various purposes except that used in 
the rough, as props, lagging, caps, segments, sills, etc. In the interior of 
the mines lumber goes for uses in connection with ventilation schemes; brat- 
tices, doors, airways, manways, and for pit railing, etc. On the breakers 
in collieries it is used for tipple parts, drum bands, chutes, screens, scraper 
lines, flights, ete., besides it answers for parts of haulage systems, slope 
rollers for example, and for sprags and various other less important com- 
modities. The lumber used for mine cars and their repair has been included 
as shown above, under car construction, while that going into manufactured 
parts for houses, buildings, and other building operations was listed with 
similar material under the planing mill industry. The available statistics 
reported by both anthracite and bituminous operations in Pennsylvania are 


as follows:

Two commodities included in the above table deserve special mention and 
to show the kinds of wood used in making them, separate statistics have been 
arranged and are presented in the supplemental tables, 55a, mine rollers, 
and 55b, sprags. 


MINE ROLLERS. 


Table 55a shows seven woods going into slope rollers. They aggregate 
nearly 2,500,000 feet of material used annually, but this does not represent 
wood for rollers that are manufactured elsewhere and brought to the State 
ready for use. Slope mining in recent years is being superseded by the shaft 
method and with the change is a corresponding decline in the demand for 
rollers or pulleys used on the slope to prevent abrasion of the cable against 
the ground. Two-thirds of the roller material is black gum. That obtained 
from timber cut in the State is mostly the species, Nyssa sylvatica, but that 
coming from a distance, usually in the form of bolts, is a mixture of the 
above named species with water gum (Nyssa biflora), and a small amount 
probably of tupelo (Nyssa aquatica). Black gum is frequently the common 
name for all three. The first two species are the most desirable for rollers 
because of their interlaced fiber that will not splinter nor roughen but wears 
smooth to a polish by use. Further than this, the woods possess the superior 
qualities of hardness and toughness, and on account of their abundance, 
especially in the southern states, are the lowest priced hardwoods. Maple is 
especially adapted for slope rollers, but owing to its growing scarcity and 
high price black gum has largely superseded it. Formerly maple was the 
most used wood for the purpose, but the table shows that the demand for it 
at present is only one-sixth of that of black gum. 

Veneer cores, the symmetrically round pieces left after the veneer has been 
removed by the rotary cut process, are now being used for making mine 
rollers, when the species is one of the black gums. These cores are an off- 


86 


fall that represents to a large degree a complete waste and the fact that they 
are suitable for this line of manufacture should certainly be a means of utiliz- 
ing a large quantity of this discarded material.

SPRAGS. 


This is a second division of this industry which deserves special attention, 
not that it represents a commodity that is important in the amount of wood 
consumed nor economically prominent in the operation of large factories and 
the use of skilled labor, but because it serves to illustrate the tendency in 
Pennsylvania towards waste utilization. 

A sprag is a cylindrical wooden commodity pointed at each end, about 21 
inches long, ranging in thickness from 2} to 3} inches and is used in coal 
mining operations for checking and regulating the speed of a mine car as it 
runs in and out of the laterals leading to the shafts. The speed of the car 
is checked by locking one of its wheels. This occurs when the sprag, having 
been cast. between the spokes of the rotating wheel, strikes against the car 
still. 

Mine cars are not equipped with brakes like freight cars and upon the 
sprag often depends the safety of the car and more often a train when run- 
ning downgrade. Sprags must therefore necessarily be very strong and many 
companies are particular in the specifications of their orders for manufactur- 
ing them. Small sprags of not proper thickness are a slight economy, if any, 
‘as the frevuent breakages entail considerable waste. Also the species of 
wood used for making them, if not of the requisite strength, hardness, and 
durability, would in nowise pay in service the expenses of making the sprags. 

This industry excludes the softwoods and a number of soft hardwoods, like 
aspen, yellow poplar, basswood, etc. Chestnut is not suitable owing to lack of 
‘sufficient strength, though if easily available and very cheap, it is used to a 
limited extent. The most practical sprag woods, listed according to amounts, 
are given in Table 55b following:

Over 38,000,000 feet of wood is required annually for making sprags in 
Pennsylvania. This is not representative of all the material that is used as 
many of these commodities are made by hand and concerning which it is im- 
possible to get information; others are made elsewhere and shipped in for 
use in Pennsylvania collieries. 

Sprags at present are almost entirely made from young timber, pole size; 
coppice oak and maple being cut for this purpose. This is often a sacrifice 
of valuable second growth timber since it is practicable to make this com- 
modity from. material considered as waste. In that connection the present 
report may aid in bringing about the utilization of woods waste, like tops, 
limbs, cut offs, fire killed poles, etc., the most difficult to market of all the 
off-fall from lumber operations. 

In this connection the Department of Forestry of Pennsylvania recently 
made a valuable experiment, an outline of the results of which will prove of 
considerable importance not only to mining companies and others owning 
their own timber, but to all interested in forest conservation. S 

During the winters of 1911-12 fire killed a stand of oak and chestnut cop- 
pice 14 years old on 75 acres-in one of the State Forests in the northeastern 
part. of Pennsylvania. This timber was not merchantable because of the 
size and distance from market. The Department of Forestry conceived the 
idea of its sale in the form of sprags and accordingly arrangements were made 
with an owner of a sprag machine to move onto the tract and use all suit- 
able:-timber for making this commodity. A contract was made for manu- 
facturing and delivering the finished product to the nearest shipping point 
for $9.30 which included, owing to distance, a cost of $4 for wagon transporta- 
tion. Eleven dollars was the price received for the finished sprags at the sid- 
ing, leaving a balance of $1.70 a thousand pieces for stumpage. The De- 
partment of. Forestry scored a success in the undertaking partly because of 
the revenue received from the fire killed timber, otherwise a waste; also by 


88. 


this operation a vast amount of what would otherwise have been debris was 
removed from the woods, assuring less of a tangle when the trees fell and 
thus allowing a closer fall to the ground and quicker decomposition. 

Ten years ago sprags were made with ax and knife, 200 per day being the 
most one man could produce. Repeated efforts were made to eliminate the 
manual work by the invention of machinery, but it was not until four years 
ago that a manufacturer made a successful device which, with the work of 
two men, enables a possible daily output of from eight to nine thousand 
sprags. In ordinary commercial runs, however, the average production with 
this machine is probably not over half the capacity. 


FIXTURES. 


The fixture manufacturers make certain lines of commodities so closely 
related to similar ones grouped under the furniture and planing mili indus- 
tries, that it is difficult at times to determine under which classification they 
properly belong. 

Generally fixtures include furnishings for offices, stores, lodge rooms, sa- 
loons, banks, hotel lobbies, lunch rooms, courthouses, churches, dentists’ 
and surgeons’ cabinets, account registers, cash registers, index files, and 
other similar commodities. The materials for making these are distinguished 
from that going into high class inside house finish such as mantels, colon- 
nades, cabinet work, and general mill work. The latter are stationary, while 
fixtures are readily portable. From furniture woods they are separated ac- 
cording to the uses of the finished products. Office desks, book cases, store 
tables, etc., belong to furnishings of business headquarters while commodi- 
ties of the same name for residences go in the furniture class. Large manu- 
facturers specialize in one or the other lines but in small cities and towns 
where the local demand does not justify specialization the fixture makers and 
the planing mills manufacture products belonging to both industries. 

Nearly the same woods are employed for fixtures as for furniture but a 
larger part of the fixture material is of the higher grades. In both indus- 
tries the woods can be put into two classes, for outside finish and for interior 
or hidden work. Veneers enter largely into the former class and are growing 
in favor, chestnut being the favorite backing or core material. For painted 
work or store counters, bar tops, display racks, show window platforms, and 
other fixture parts, it is necessary to use solid wood instead of cheaper woods 
overlaid with veneer. This accounts for the average prices of the woods listed 
in Table 56 being higher than in the furniture industry. 

Yellow poplar, white oak, red oak, and chestnut supply the largest portion 
of the fixture material in Pennsylvania. Seventy-five per cent. of the quantity 
used is of these four kinds. Yellow poplar serves both for exterior and in- 
terior work. Its adaptability to hold paint and stains, its soft texture and even 
straight grain make it an easy material to smooth and commend it probably 
above any other wood for both exterior enameled work and for drawer bot- 
toms, reinforcements, hidden parts of show cases, shelving, interior of wall 
cases, partitions, etc. 

Oak with its ornamental figure is universally the premier fixture wood as 
it is the foremost furniture wood. Both classes of oaks, red and white, are 
in demand, and together the amount is greater than that of any other of 
the woods the Pennsylvania fixture makers purchase. A large part of oak is 
quartered stock which merely designates the method of sawing. It is the same 
as rift sawed and arises from first cutting the log into quarters and the 
quarters into boards, the saw crossing the circles of growth at or nearly at 
right angles. Oak shows more figure when the log is sliced ordinarily into 


89 


boards but the pleasing effect of rift sawing is more in favor and besides being 
desired by the fixture makers on account of minimum shrinkage and warp. 
Birch is ahead of any other domestic wood for imitating mahogany. The 
heartwood of the tree is used for this work. The sapwood has a much lighter 
color but like the heartwood is specially adapted to take stain and receive 
and hold a soft brilliant polish. Besides mahogany, birch can readily be 
stained to imitate cherry, Circassian walnut, fumed oak, bog oak, black 
walnut, and other pleasing effects. The figure of curly birch is especially at- 
tractive and it brings high prices, going into the highest grades of fixtures. 
Other finishing woods are mahogany, sugar maple, including large quantities 
of bird’s eye maple, cherry, red gum, black walnut, butternut, and Circas- 
sian walnut. The last named is the most expensive wood and goes only into the 
most expensive work. Red gum and butternut are frequently found richly 
mottled and in some respects resembling Circassian walnut. For that reason 
they are most frequently used of any domestic wood to be finished in imita- 
tion of this foreign wood. 

This industry calls on the State for only a limited portion of its raw ma- 
terial. Only a little more than one-third of the total was reported as home cut 
and of the entire amount of eleven of the woods shipped in from other states, 
two-thirds were oak and yellow poplar which being demanded in high grades 
made it necessary to obtain a large portion in regions where the virgin stands 
of these species are the most abundant. States in the southern Appalachians 
furnished most of this material. Of the woods listed in the fixture table that 
are abundantly cut in Pennsylvania the chestnut, birch, sugar maple, bass- 
wood, cherry, beech, ash, black walnut, and butternut, most of the supply 
‘used was State-grown. The fixture manufacturers, therefore, like the other 
class of manufacturers using home-grown material should be vitally inter- 
ested in conservation and the movement looking to the State’s future timber 


supply.

CLOTH, HOSIERY BOARDS, ETC. 

Cloth boards, commonly called wrapping boards, upon which to wind woolen 
and other textile goods, hosiery boards used in stocking factories and stores, 
hammer boards for beating brass and other sheet metals, and lap boards used 
by the seamstress, are the commodities which have been classed under Table 
57. The largest part of the total was for cloth boards and the species used 
were loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, yellow poplar, and white pine. The size 
of cloth boards varies from 6 to 8 inches wide and from 16 to 20 inches long 
and one-fourth to five-eights of an inch thick. 

Sugar maple supplies the entire demand for hosiery boards or driers. They 
are made of + inch material which is strong, dense and not liable to 
roughen up or splinter. Yellow poplar sufficed for sewing or lap boards and 
for stocking forms. Because maple does not split easily and is strong and 
hard, it is preferred of all woods for hammer boards. Considerable ma- 
terial is used in Pennsylvania for the manufacture of ironing and sleeve 
boards, meat, pastry, and steak boards or planks, but these have been listed 
and referred to under the industry entitled “Woodenware.”

PATTERNS AND FLASKS. 


Table 58 shows that nearly eleven and a half million feet of lumber are re- 
quired annually in Pennsylvania for making patterns, flasks, and for other 
needs of the moulders and foundrymen. Of this amount nearly 80 per cent. is 
white pine. All of this did not go for patterns, since white pine was demanded 
for flasks in greater amounts than was any other wood. It is, however, the 
predominant pattern wood not alone in Pennsylvania, but throughout the 
country at large. Its suitability is due above all to its susceptibility to hold 
shape under atmospheric changes, to its grain being close, straight, and 
even, with obscure figure, to its being easily worked, and at the same time 
not so soft as to be injured by rough usage, and to its being light in weight 
and easily portable. Since the pattern must be designed in the exact shape 
and dimensions of the article to be moulded, the highest grades of lumber are 
required, and, in many cases, material of considerable width is required 
and is usually often quarter-sawed, which will not warp as easily as straight 
sawn lumber cut without regard to grain. These are the factors which have 
increased the cost of this species to the point of creating a demand for a sub- 
stitute wood. Thus far no kind of wood experimented upon has been equal 
to white pine. It will be noticed that the western white pine cut in the Rocky 
Mountains appears in the table and also the sugar pine of California. Neither 
of these woods can be distinguished at sight from the eastern white pine. The 
western white pine is heavier than the eastern, and the sugar pine more 
resinous. The kinds of wood used for patterns in Pennsylvania are as follows: 


White pine. Yellow poplar. 
Cherry. White oak. 
Mahogany. Black walnut. 
Sugar maple. Butternut. 
Sugar pine. Teak. 
Western white pine. Silver maple. 
Redwood. 


Standard patterns, or patterns used often and therefore submitted to con- 
siderable wear, are made as durable as possible. For these very hard dense 
wood is required and mahogany, cherry, butternut, sugar maple, black wal- 
nut, and teak wood—the latter a foreign wood—are the ones used in Penn- 
sylvania. Large patterns, like those for moulding massive machine parts 
can not with economy be used entirely of these woods. Only the parts that 
come in direct contact with the sand, where the greatest wear is, are made 
of hardwoods, the inside or filler being of a softer, cheaper wood, and one 
more easily worked, such as white pine, sugar pine, yellow poplar, or red- 
wood. Mahogany is the best of the hardwoods for patterns, though cherry is 
the favorite of the domestic woods. These are of even straight grain and less 
liable to shrink and swell when enclosed in the matrices of damp sand. In 
addition they stand well the ramming, knocking, and rough usage a standard 
pattern receives. Sugar maple would be more used than it is were it not for 
its tendency to warp. Being hard, of straight, compact structure, with a 
capacity to wear smooth, and easily worked, it otherwise possesses excellent 
qualities for pattern material. 

For flasks lower grades of lumber are required than for patterns. Flasks 
serve as the frame or box, holding the sand in which to make the mould. 
A two-part flask is used when the pattern is in two pieces, one resting upon 
the other, the upper part is the cope, the lower the nowel. Flask material 
does not last long, its destruction being due more to frequent burning than to 
the general rough wear. The firing results from intense heat of the sand after 
the molten metal is poured into the mould. Buckets of water are conveniently 


92: 


at hand to extinguish a blaze as soon as it is discovered. Wood slow to take 
fire is the best flask material, though choice is usually limited to kinds near 
at hand or that are cheap. Redwood, when not too costly is preferred, because 
it is generally conceded to be more fireproof than any other domestic wood. 
Coating the inside of flasks with a fireproof chemical has been tried recently 


as an experiment. Flask woods in order of their importance in Pennsylva- 
nia are as follows: 


White pine. White oak. 
Loblolly pine. Pitch pine. 
Hemlock. Norway pine. 
Shortleaf pine. Sugar maple. 
Longleaf pine. White elm. 
Yellow poplar. Red oak. 
Spruce. Beech. 
Chestnut. 


The Pennsylvania forests furnished only one-fourth of the total pattern 
material used. This was probably due to the diminishing stand of white 
pine timber in the State of the size demanded by the high grade lumber 
pattern makers. Nearly seven-ninths of all that was used was shipped in from 
West Virginia, the Great Lakes region, and western states.

Hickory is unquestionably the best wood used for long-handle tools, includ- 
ing the maul, axe, striking hammer, sledge, and track tools used on rail- 
roads for construction work and for maintenance of way. Besides exceptional 
strength, this wood possesses other important qualities for handle material ,— 
weight, stiffness, shock-resisting ability, and susceptibility to wear smooth 
by use. Manufacturers of this class of handles usually specialize in this line, 
since the processes of manufacture and the machinery required are distinct 
from those employed in making other classes. Hickory is becoming scarcer 
each year, and this fact has induced a number of northern handle makers 
to move southward nearer to the source of the largest supply. Not a few 
firms, however, continue to maintain factories in the north and to ship 
billets, bolts, and rough-turned handle stock from the south to the north as 
far as Connecticut and New Hampshire. 

It is interesting to note from the following table that the Pennsylvania 
hickory handle manufacturers procure 66 per cent. of their raw material from 
the State. It would be well for farmers and timber owners in Pennsylvania 
who own stands of hickory to understand the increasing demand for the wood 
for handles and that second-growth hickory: is preferred. This tree is not a 
rapid grower but it is not so slow as many other trees and it will soon prove 
a good investment to preserve stands of second-growth hickory to aid their 
development, and to cut the timber only as it becomes large enough for handle 
bolts. The list given below shows the kinds of wood which are being tried as 
substitutes for hickory in handle making, white oak, cow oak, swamp oak, 
sugar maple, hornbeam, and ash being the principal ones. For coal-pick 
handles these woods are suitable and most largely used, there being less 
strain as to strength and shock-resisting than if used for the more strenuous 
work of the pick, axe, and maul. 


95 


The manufacture of fork and garden tool handles is another distinct class 
of this industry. What hickory is for the axe, pick, and sledge, white ash 
is to this class, namely, the pitch-fork and hay-fork, the long handle and D- 
shovel, and the hoe, rake, etc. Stiffness, toughness, and strength without 
excessive weight are the properties which commend ash for this use. It is 
surprising that the handle manufacturers demanding this wood procure only 
58 per cent. of their requirements from State-grown woods. This condition 
offers another opportunity to timber owners to encourage the growing of ash 
for handle stock, to meet the demand of the increasing home market. In 
forest management ash is an important tree. It is a fairly rapid grower 
and is not particular as to situation, as are many other trees. 

Other woods serve with ash for meeting the demand for this class of handles, 
but they are used in considerably smaller quantities. In the order of their 
importance, they are sugar maple, beech, birch, and cherry. In other states 
elm, sycamore, and soft maple are included. 

More wood in Pennsylvania is required for broom and mop handles than 
for any other class, and like hickory handles, the manufacturer makes no 
other kinds. The maples, chiefly sugar maple, the birches and beech be- 
cause they turn well and wear smooth in use, and to a less extent, bass- 
wood, red gum, ash, and sycamore, are the broom and mop handle woods; 
and all of them are reported being used in Pennsylvania. Sugar maple is 
preferred and only a few years ago was most used. Its demand for other uses 
at higher prices is probably the chief cause for bringing birch into first place. 
High grade material is required for broom handles and squares are usually 
cut direct from the log, the less desirable being put into mop handles. Mop 
handle squares were found being bolted in Pennsylvania from slabs and 
edgings of sawmills cutting beech, birch, and maple. 

For handles where weight is not an objection and strength is the foremost 
consideration, hornbeam or ironwood has been found very satisfactory. Cant 
hook and peavey handles, stomper and rammer handles are examples. 

Applewood is very well adapted for handsaw handles, being hard, suf- 
ficiently strong, of uniform texture, and susceptible of high polish. The 
attractive uniform color has caused it to become the principal wood for bet- 
ter grades of handles. Red gum, cherry, and sweet birch have proved satis- 
factory for saw handles, but more because they can be finished to resemble 
applewood closely than because of any other special quality which they pos- 
sess. Beech furnishes the material for cheaper grades. Its color is against 
it and also the fact that it is not capable of high polish, but its toughness 
and greater strength and ability to wear smooth probably make it nearly equal 
to applewood. Other woods used for saw handles but not reported in Penn- 
sylvania are mahogany and black walnut. Saw frames for buck saws are of 
red oak, birch, and maple and handles of crosscut saws are of sugar maple, 
hickory, and beech. 

The bricklayers’ trowels have handles of dogwood and persimmon. These 
woods are dense in structure and among the hardest domestic woods and 
therefore best stand the wear for use as a hammer for imbedding the brick 
into mortar after placing it. The plaster trowels are made of basswood. Be- 
ing porous this wood absorbs the moisture from the wet hand of the mechanic 
and it is claimed does not slime. In the New England states popple or aspen 
is used for the same reason.

LAUNDRY APPLIANCES. 


The fourteen woods demanded by the Pennsylvania manufacturers for mak- 
ing laundry accessories are listed in Table 60 following and they aggregate 
a cut of over nine million feet. Four woods, sugar maple, beech, birch, and 
yellow poplar, contributed nearly 70 per cent. of the total. Of these sugar 
maple is the most important, in quantity furnishing more than one-half of 
the entire demand. Four woods were cut entirely outside of the State but 
nearly three-fourths of the aggregate employed grew in Pennsylvania, show- 
ing to what extent this industry, is dependent upon the forest resources of 
the State and why manufacturers should be interested in ‘the movement to 
protect and improve the forests. 

Clothespins are the smallest commodity grouped under this heading but 
they are not the least important as more wood is used for their manufacture 
than for any other laundry product. Over four million feet is the amount 
annually required. Fine grained beech and sugar maple in nearly equal quan- 
tities were the principal woods used. The other kinds include birch and 
yellow poplar. The last named and maple also are used for making clip 
pins, which are two wooden scales held together by a wire spring. The woods 
used in Pennsylvania as clothespin material are the same as those used in 
other states except in Virginia where the manufacturers report black gum, 
both the water gum and cotton gum varieties, which in those parts are in- 
discriminately called black gum. Three processes are necessary in the manu- 
facture of clothespins, (1) the rough billets are turned to proper form, (2) 
they are put through another machine which slits them, (3) they are finally 
consigned into revolving cylinders to be tumbled or smoothed by abrasion. 


97 


Ironing boards and stands are an important part of this industry and the 
woods used are selected according to their fitness for the several parts. The 
frames or the collapsible stand upon which the boards rest require a strong 
wood and one that turns readily. Sugar maple and beech are reported in 
Pennsylvania while in Michigan elm and yellow birch joined with these in 
furnishing this material. Ironing boards are preferably of a wood that is 
soft and easily smoothed and one that in the presence of high temperature 
holds its shape well. It should be made of light weight wood so as to be 
easily portable. Cottonwood answers well but buckeye, basswood, yellow 
poplar, and white pine are probably the favorites. Besides regular-size iron- 
ing boards, these woods were also reported for skirt and sleeve boards used for 
specialty work. 

Beech, birch, and maple, because they are strong, tough, and not easily 
split, were reported for making clothes racks, sometimes called horses, and 
for clothes driers. Light weight wood like basswood or aspen were used for 
the stringers. The racks are made of turned stock and fold together like a 
screen. The driers are revolving reels through the arms of which wire is 
strung for hanging clothes. These include the ones that are temporarily 
attachable to back porches of apartment buildings and also the kinds that 
are placed in back yards. Adjustable curtain stretchers used in laundering 
lace and other thin fabric window curtains are included in this industry. 
Basswood was the only wood used while a large amount of loblolly pine was 
called on for clothes props. 

Mangles are ironing machines used for domestic purposes in ironing flat 
work such as table and bed linen, towels, handkerchiefs, etc. In appear- 
ance they resemble clothes wringers, having their rolls operating at a tangent. 
Some of them are intended only for cold ironing or smoothing. In these the 
rolls are of wood and the pressure of the rolls alone does the work giving 
the clothes the same smooth appearance as if hot ironed. In Pennsylvania 
they are made alone of sugar maple but the Michigan report also shows 
beech and elm though in much smaller quantities. Machines are also made 
for hot ironing and in these the upper roll is hollow metal heated while 
the lower one is wood covered with padding and a top dress of muslin. Mangle 
rollers vary in size from. 34 inches in diameter and 20 inches long to 6 inches 
diameter and 24 inches long. 

Washing machines are of various designs and shapes, some in box form, 
some conical shape similar to a wash tub, and others are cylindrical. The 
last named is the design used in steam laundries. Cypress is more suitable 
than any other wood for washing machine bodies because it is less liable to 
warp and more durable in situations of alternating moisture and dryness. 
Ash and to a small extent white pine were also reported. Of the Pacific coast 
woods, redwood seems to give the best result. On account of the strength 
of sugar maple it was called on for the legs of washing machines; and 
beaters or agitators which work inside of the machine to turn the clothes 
in washing are made of beech or maple. 

The reasons which commend cypress for washing machines make it the 
principal wood for wash tubs. In Michigan spruce was the favorite wood 
while the Illinois manufacturers used cypress, cotton gum, and red gum in 
the order named. The increasing use of these woods, especially cotton gum, 
which is tupelo, is worthy of note. 

For washboards, the manufacturers require woods that are light in color, 
especially for the print board, which is stenciled. Yellow poplar alone is 
called on in this State but in Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan, basswood, cot- 
tonwood, and cotton gum were demanded. Washboard sides or posts are 


7 


98 


made from beech and sugar maple. The former is more extensively used. 
The rubbing surface at one time was made of maple and beech, but now 
metal or glass rubs have been substituted.

CIGAR BOXES. 


Cigar boxes are the only wooden tobacco containers made in Pennsylvania 
and the woods required solely for this purpose are listed in Table 61. In a 
number of southern states, plug and twist tobacco boxes were included with 
cigar box lumber and the factories known as the tobacco box industry. 
Cigar box material is bought as thin lumber and veneer, the former usually 
5-32 of an inch in thickness. This material, as is customary in commerce, 
was reported in terms of superficial feet. To make it comparable with the 
other tables of this report, however, it was reduced to board measure and 
valued on that basis. For this reason the cost of the material may appear 
somewhat high, especially since the cost of manufacture has not been elimi- 
nated nor has any allowance been made for waste. The prices range from 
$20 to $30 per thousand feet surface measure for Spanish cedar, $12.50 to 
$16.50 for yellow poplar and basswood and $14 to $17.50 for cotton gum 
and red gum. 

Though the eastern part of Pennsylvania raises the best grades of leaf to- 
bacco, the center of the cigar box industry is not located there but in the 
Pittsburgh region where the manufacture of stogies and cigars has gained 
a reputation. 

Spanish cedar, it is claimed, gives a delicate odor to the cigars which is 
attributed to no other wood. This accounts for the fact that it is the principal 
cigar box wood not only in Pennsylvania but in the country at large. Spanish 
eedar is native to the West Indies and Central America and is brought to 
this country in log form to be manufactured. It is a broad leafed tree and 
not a relative of the domestic cedars or junipers which are conifers. 


99 


Not all of the Spanish cedar goes into cigar boxes as thin lumber. Much 
of it is veneer glued to a native wood that is thicker and this two-ply stock 
supplies a large part of the demand of the cigar box material and at a price 
considerably below that asked for Spanish cedar lumber. Yellow  pop- 
lar, cotton gum, basswood, and red gum are the domestic woods which 
furnish most of the veneer backing. Yellow poplar is used in larger quan- 
tities in Pennsylvania than the combined amounts of the three other woods, 
probably because western Pennsylvania is near to the center of the yellow 
poplar lumber producing region. This region, together with a part of Penn- 
sylvania, includes mainly West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, Tennessee, and 
southern Ohio. Tupelo or cotton gum and red gum are equally well suited 
for built-up material. They work easily and with the recent improvement 
in kiln drying veneer the objection formerly made to their tendency to twist 
and warp has been largely overcome. The decreasing supply of yellow poplar 
and its large demand for many other uses are bringing cotton and red gum 
rapidly to the front for this line of manufacture. 

The domestic woods used are not all overlaid with Spanish cedar veneer. 
They are extensively cut to full thickness for boxes of solid lumber. To give 
these woods a cigar box appearance, which means to make it resemble Spanish 
cedar, the process of stamping is resorted to and improvements in this line 
give it an effect which makes it difficult without close inspection to dis- 
tinguish the imitations from the cedar. Where domestic woods are inde- 
pendently used, most often the inside of the box is covered with litho paper, 
advertising the name of the cigar and maker. Waste in cigar box manu- 
facture is largely utilized; the ends and sides can be made from what is 
left after cutting the tops and bottoms.

WOODENWARE AND NOVELTIES. 


The commodities produced by the factories grouped under this industry 
are many and varied. This accounts for the twenty different woods listed 
in Table 62, including small quantities of two foreign woods, rosewood and 
lignum-vitae. The total consumption of wood in this industry was over eight 
and one-half million feet annually and beech, mostly home-grown, was used 
in quantities greater than the total of any other five woods listed. Basswood 
represented the greatest amount of shipped-in material, a little over three- 
fourths of it coming from New York and West Virginia. 


100 


Woodenware refers to useful household articles, such as pails, buckets, 
freezers, hose reels, snow shovels, rat and mouse traps, comb boxes, broom 
holders, and towel racks, and also to utensils important in the equipment of 
kitchens, such as pastry and pie boards, meat boards, rolling pins, slaw 
cutters, fish and steak planks, lemon squeezers, potato mashers, ete. A 
portion of the pails made by this industry in Pennsylvania is for candy 
packages. Though these may more properly belong to the box industry, 
they have been included here with other pails and buckets, the method of 
manufacture being identical and the same factories making both styles. 
While white pine is the favorite wood for pail staves in Pennsylvania, as 
it is in nearly all other states where this industry is important, a few of the 
softer hardwoods like basswood, yellow poplar, buckeye, and willow are also 
employed. Bales or handles of buckets are rarely made by the pail manu- 
facturer. The variety wood-workers or manufacturers specializing in all 
kinds of turnings furnish them. Beech, birch, and maple are used in the 
largest quantities. 

Mouse traps belong to this industry. They are made of beech, yellow 
poplar, red gum, sugar maple, and white elm in the order named, and over 
1,500,000 feet of these woods are annually required for their making. Sugar 
maple and holly were used for rolling pins, the latter being shipped from 
Arkansas and being desired because of its density, toughness, whitish color, 
and its capacity to turn well. Beech being strong and not imparting a taste 
went for lemon squeezers except for the bowls which required a harder, 
denser wood. Lignum-vitae, sent in from the West Indies, was found most 
suitable and is used for expensive squeezers while glass bowls answered for 
cheaper ones. 

Planks for cooking planked fish and steaks have been made for years from 
one wood, principally white oak. Originally a common surfaced oak board met 
the demand but now they are manufactured in various shapes and sizes to fit 
the holders into which they are placed for service. To keep the essences 
from running off the plank they are frequently grooved which adds also to their 
appearance when not in use. Rosewood was the only foreign wood reported 
for toddy sticks but sugar maple and beech are most commonly used. 

Novelties are of so many different kinds that space here will not allow an 
attempt to name them. Novelty makers themselves can hardly list all the 
different articles they make because they produce specialties of all kinds, 
mostly to order, and usually have no standard lines. Those marked with 
an * in the legend of the accompanying illustration will give an idea of the 
class of commodities included as novelties.

TANKS, VATS, AND SILOS. 

The market for wooden tanks is broadening in spite of the fact that metal 
tanks are used to a considerable extent. In no other line is there a greater 
increase in demand for this commodity than by factories where tanks are 
needed to furnish water for manufacturing and engineering purposes. They 
are usually elevated to the top of the factory buildings, but most frequently 
on towers varying in height according to the pressure desired. Water tanks 
along railroads are in this class and southern white cedar, cypress, white 
pine, and longleaf pine, in the order of quantity, are the woods used for 
the staves. Shortleaf pine and hemlock went for tank covers. Tank staves 
are made of heavy material, the thickness varying according to the size and 
use of the tanks. Often the staves are as much as three inches thick and 
they must of necessity be made of the best grade of lumber since tanks are 
subject to strong pressure besides continued atmospheric changes, and the 
influence of water and other liquids has a deteriorating effect. z 

In selecting material for tank and vat staves the manufacturer is guided 
mainly by the use to which the finished commodity is to be put, as there 
are qualities in the several woods which commend them for certain kinds. 
The distillers and vinegar makers prefer yellow poplar for keeping-vats, 
but yellow poplar in some localities is too costly and its place has been taken 
by cypress and white pine. Brewery vats are usually of cypress and white 
oak. These woods are durable and strong and have no effects upon the 
taste and odor of the contents. Where a tank is closed and fermentation 
active or where one of extra resisting power is needed, white oak is preferred 
because close grained, heavy, and strong. Southern white cedar is also 
a favorite and though not so strong as white oak, when used it is strongly 
reinforced. 

Vats for the manufacture of oleomargarine are of white pine, cypress, and 
Douglas fir, while those in pickle factories are generally cypress, Douglas 
fir, and longleaf pine. Individual oil tanks call for white pine, white oak, 


102 


and chestnut. The use of the last named wood is interesting since Pennsyl- 
vania is the only state in which this wood has been reported for tank staves. 
It may be in the future that it will be called on more generally for this use 
owing to its being cheaper than most other tank woods and being sufficiently 
strong and durable. The tanners are not particular as to the kinds of woods 
used for their tanks, durability and strength being the principal considera- 
tions. Cypress and southern white cedar were the most prominent, the latter 
because of durability being the best qualified. 

The silo is given a place in this industry because generally it resembles a 
tank both when built and in its component parts and occasionally makers of 
tank stock also manufacture silos. The processes of manufacture of both, 
though not identical, are similar. The up-to-date farmer regards the silo 
as an almost indispensable part of his equipment as it furnishes a means of 
having succulent forage during the winter season. The demand for silos 
is growing rapidly and large quantities of high grade lumber go for their 
making. Longleaf pine, Douglas fir, cypress, red or Norway pine, and white 
pine are the silo woods the Pennsylvania manufacturers report. White pine 
is probably the best known, as it has been used longer than any other and is 
the only home grown pine reported. Its high price probably accounts for its 
use only in small quantities. Because cypress is durable in damp situations, 
it is regarded one of the best silo materials and in some localities is pre- 
ferred even above white pine. Next to southern white cedar it will outlast 
any other wood for silos. Longleaf pine from the South and Douglas fir 
from Idaho and Oregon are extensively used and are favored because staves 
can be made from them in sufficient lengths for one piece staves. Silos of 
this character are more easily erected than when the staves are in two or 
three pieces. These woods do not twist or warp; they are close-grained, 
strong, unaffected by acids or juices of the plants and are cheaper. Redwood 
is meeting a growing demand for staves according to silo makers in other 
states but none was used in Pennsylvania. It is claimed that redwood, next 
to cypress, is the most durable wood, can be gotten in long lengths, is free 
from sap and knots, is not given to check and warp, and will answer both 
for silos in exposed situations as well as for those built into barns.

MACHINE CONSTRUCTION. 


Most parts of the machinery equipment of paper mills, flour mills, ice 
factories, sawmills, cotton gins, etc., are made of iron and steel, but for 
others wood is required and it is the different kinds of lumber for making 
these parts that are listed in Table 64. Electrical machinery parts and other 
electrical apparatus are not included in this class. This information will be 
presented subsequently as a separate industry. It is natural to infer that 
wooden parts of machinery must, in a great number of cases, call for lumber 
of great strength. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that white oak is 
the preponderant wood, comprising over one-third of the total and that long- 
leaf pine and hickory follow it in quantity. The largest amount of hickory 
in the form of plank is shown in this industry. The vehicle and handle 
makers report using more but their raw material is in billet form, in squares, 
and in bolts. Douglas fir is the only Pacific coast’ wood listed. Like long- 
leaf pine it possesses considerable strength and because the trees grow large 
and of great height, timber of large dimensions and length can readily be ob- 
tained. This probably accounts for its appearance in this industry, far from 
where it is cut. The average price is nearly twice that of longleaf pine. 

Machine parts must necessarily be made from high grade lumber and in 
this connection it is interesting to note that nearly 55 per cent. of all that 
was reported was grown in the State. The factories included in this indus- 
iry are numerous, though compared with other industries they use small 
amounts of wood. The fact that the requirements of these manufacturers 
are met so largely by the forests of the State should elicit their interest in 
the movement to protect forests and thereby perpetuate the State’s timber 
supply. Some parts of 14 of the 19 woods listed in the table were cut in 
Pennsylvania, and their principal uses have been arranged in the order of

Threshing machines, including grain threshers and clover hullers, are 
the most important commodities of-this industry, and in this particular line 
of manufacture Pennsylvania leads all other states. There are many interior 
parts of these machines that require woods of different qualities. “The 
general tendency to substitute metal for wood has not proved practical and 
consequently a majority of these parts like grain registers, dust conveyors, 
and screen frames are still made largely of wood. Likely for the same rea- 
son, frames and siding or exterior panels of threshers call for wood and 
white pine and yellow poplar are the principal panel woods because these 
woods are light, easily worked, take paint readily, and are not given to 
twist and check. 

Straw-carriers, closely allied to threshers, are another product important 
in this industry in Pennsylvania. Woods similar to those for threshers 
are demanded; white oak, yellow poplar, and sugar maple in the order named 
being most frequently called for. 

Corn shellers and land rollers demand a considerable amount of lumber 
each year. Beech for framing, shortieaf pine, and yellow poplar for panels 
play an important part in making the former, and sugar maple and oak 
for the latter. The rollers of land rollers were formerly made of wood. A 
cross-section from a sycamore or yellow poplar log was usually selected and 
the rollers were usually made on the farm or at nearby blacksmith shops. 
Today these implements are in universal use and have been found indis- 
pensable, as a labor saver. The factories sometime ago began making them 
and now use metal almost entirely, but a small amount of wood is still in 
use and hard maple meets the demand in the State. The bottoms of the roller 
platforms are of shortleaf pine but any strong wood will answer for this 
purpose. The roller blocks or bearing frames are of hard maple. The hay 
baler manufacturers also use sugar maple ahead of other woods; but oak, 
both white and red, is indispensable for certain parts.

Basswood is the principal material for wooden toys and | for the wooden 
parts of metal toys. It is not only demanded in the greatest amount but 
it enters into the manufacture of more kinds than any other species. It 
alone supplied the material for the all-wood doll which is made in no other 
state. This doll is unique, ingenious, and wonderfully useful, in that 
nearly all parts,—body, arms, legs, hands, feet,—even the head—are 
made of solid wood. The face is artistically carved and when enameled in 
lifelike colors and the doll dressed, it is difficult to tell that it is made of 
wood. The parts of the body are jointed with steel bands having swivel 
connection, which gives flexibility and freedom of movement. The all- 
wood doll is made with facial characteristics representative of different 
nations and of comical characters. 

The making of toy pianos is another important division of this industry. 
Basswood is the prevailing wood again and it goes into all the various 
parts except the base of large size pianos where a stronger wood is needed, 
and ash and oak meet this demand. Because it is easily bored and turned 
to shape, this wood answers first for toy cannons. It is also principally used 
for wooden animals in menageries and for horse heads and bodies for stick 
horses. 

Though Pennsylvania was sixth in the list of states in the production of 
basswood lumber, the toy manufacturers reported purchasing 60 per cent. 
of their requirements from other states. Sugar maple, white pine, and 
yellow poplar were used not only in almost equal amounts but the average 
price paid for these woods was also nearly equal. That so much yellow pop- 


109 


lar was State-grown is somewhat surprising. In no other industry of this 
report does wood, State-grown, e {ual so large a per cent. of the total. 
Nearly six and a half million feet was required and of this over 85 per cent. 
is cut in Pennsylvania.

TRUNKS AND VALISES. 


Nine woods make up the four million feet of lumber required yearly 
in Pennsylvania for making trunks. A number of manufacturers do all 
the work from the arrival of the rough lumber to the covering, lining, and 
varnishing of the finished commodity, but others make only the rough 
boxes in the white, others slats, and others purchase the different parts 
already manufactured and merely put them together and finish them. The 
last named class of manufacturers did not make reports for this study be- 
cause they do not operate wood-working machinery and are merely as- 
semblers. The fact that white elm leads in quantity all other woods listed 
in the table indicates that in Pennsylvania the slat makers form the most 
important division of this industry. The quantity demanded, though’ fairly 
large, does not equal the amount of ash, which, next to elm, is generally 
the principal slat wood. Hickory is a frequently used slat wood on sample 
cases because of its strength but none of the trunk makers reported its use 
in Pennsylvania; its weight and its high price being against it. 

Basswood is the favorite wood for trunk boxes and in Pennsylvania fur- 
nished about three-quarters of the material which the manufacturers used. 
It works easily and holds its shape. The fact that it is fairly strong for its 
weight qualifies it more than any other factor for this use. Cottonwood 
is its principal commetitor and in the country at large is used in larger 
cuantities. Like basswood it enters largely into veneer and then into built- 
up lumber from which the better grades of trunk boxes are largely made. 
Three and four-ply are the thicknesses principally used. Besides being of 


110 


lighter weight than ordinary solid trunk box material it is also more sub- 
stantial and, therefore, in most cases, does not require slat reinforcement. 
The trunk maker does not buy veneer and make panels. He buys panels 
already glued together in various thicknesses according to his varied needs. 
Red gum appears in the table in only small quantities. In other states the 
demand for it for trunks seems to be increasing and, like cottonwood, is 
purchased mostly in the form of built-up lumber. 

White pine is a favorite wood for trunks made of solid lumber. It is 
purchased surfaced two sides and edged in thicknesses ranging from % inches 
to = inches according to the size and purpose for which the trunk is designed. 
In quantity the Pennsylvania trunk makers demanded white pine next to 
basswood. In the country at large loblolly pine is probably called on for 
solid trunk boxes ahead of any other wood. Lumber from second growth 
trees is preferred because of the large proportion of sapwood, its freedom 
from pitch, its light color and light weight. It goes for making the cheaper 
grades. As little of the wood is visible in the finished product, being covered 
with leather, cloth, and metal, the figure or color of the wood is not 
essential. 

To save weight, a light wood, cut as thin as the maximum stress will 
allow, is demanded for trays and inside compartments. Basswood met the 
largest part of the demand in Pennsylvania while in other states yellow 
poplar, cotton gum, buckeye, and cottonwood were the species principally 
employed.

BRUSHES. 


Pennsylvania surpasses all other states in the production of brush blocks 
and for their manufacture the factories consume over four million feet of 
wood annually. Of this material the forests of the state furnished over 93 
per cent. of the total, a fact which should appeal to this class of manufac- 
turers when giving consideration to the source of future supply of raw ma- 
terial and what measures are to be taken when the present timber stand is 
gone. Each kind of the almost multitudinous variety of brushes that are 
manufactured requires a block of special size and shape, and a wood pos-

sessing qualities adaptable to the special use of the brush. This accounts 
for the long list shown in the table. There are sixteen woods, and beech 
constitutes much the largest amount, being equal to almost half of the 
total. This wood is one of the most plentiful hardwoods growing in Penn- 
sylvania, having properties admirably suited for cheap brushes, and is 
one of the factors making the industry important in the state. Maple fur- 
nishes material for brush blocks considerably more desirable than beech, 
and, therefore, is in demand for a better grade of brushes. It follows 
beech in importance as to quantity but of course is higher priced. In no 
other industry is cherry reported in so large amounts as for brushes. Its 
low average price as compared to that paid for the same wood by other 
classes of factories in the State is quite surprising. This industry does 
not include altogether the production of cheap brush blocks such as are 
used for making scrubbing, creamery, and brewery, sinks, dust pan, horse, 
feather dusters, window, stove, carpet, paint, whitewash, and frescoing 
brushes, and stable and street brooms, but it includes blocks for better 
erades recuiring higher priced woods,—such as red cedar, ash, sycamore, 
holly, red oak, black walnut, rosewood, boxwood, and other foreign woods. 
The latter kinds are used for hair brushes, hat, jewelry, clothes, hand, 
nail, and flesh brushes. The absence of mahogany and ebony from the 
list of high grade brush woods is hard to explain but none of the manufac- 
turers reported them in this State.

SHUTTLES, SPOOLS, AND BOBBINS. 

The industry making bobbins, spools, shuttles and other loom appliances 
is in quantity not so large and important in Pennsylvania as in Maine, 
New York, and New Hampshire; but the fact that these commodities manu- 
factured in Pennsylvania go almost entirely for use in silk mills, and only 


112 


a few for woolen and cotton mills, is quite significant. Sugar and soft 
maple furnished the bobbin and speeder material, and for quills sugar maple 
and dogwood met the demand, the latter to only a limited extent on account 
of its higher price. Bobbin material must be hard, tough, close grained, 
with a texture that smooths easily, and must not rough up in turning. 

Paper birch is the species from which small thread spools are manu- 
factured and Maine is the state where most of them are produced. Small 
spools are turned from a single piece of wood but no factories in Pennsyl- 
vania were found making them. The manufacture of large spools, the three- 
pieced product, used in loom weaving, called for a considerable quantity 
of lumber. The barrels, sometimes called middles, are made by a process 
similar to that used in making bobbins and speeders and when in the 
rough-turned form resemble them except the barrels are uniformly cylindrical. 
Sugar and soft maple supplied the material for their making in Pennsyl- 
vania, but in New England beech and the birches were also used. The 
heads of these spools, which are cut circular, were entirely of yellow poplar 
and are screwed on and glued to the barrel, which is threaded at each end. 

The most exacting demand for both dogwood and persimmon is for shuttle 
manufacture. These woods possess a hard dense fiber, wear smooth by use, 
do not rough up, and besides are heavy and strong. They are the favorite 
domestic woods for this purpose. Shuttles for silk weaving are made to 
only a limited extent of these woods. Foreign woods are also called on. 
Boxwood, both the kind that comes from the Caspian Sea countries and 
that shipped from the West Indies, was reported, and also small amounts 
of sarbo and doncella. They are the highest priced woods that are shown 
in the table. Formerly boxwood furnished nearly all the shuttle material 
but when its price became prohibitive dogwood took its place and proved a 
practical and satisfactory substitute. Persimmon has in comparatively re- 
cent years become prominent for shuttles, chiefly owing to the insufficient 
supply of dogwood to meet the entire demand. Shuttles are made from 
squares cut to the desired size called shuttle blocks and it is in this form 
that the manufacturers in Pennsylvania purchase their raw material. From 
the rough block to the finished shuttle there are twenty-two distinct opera- 
tions. 

White oak appears in this industry for making picker sticks and in no other 
state in which this article was reported was this wood used to any consider- 
able extent. Hickory is the principal picker stick material and in Penn- 
sylvania it supplied almost two-thirds of all wood demanded for this use. 
Quill boards are made entirely of yellow poplar and loom frames of sugar 
maple.

DESCRIPTION OF FIGURE 28. 


UPRIGHT PIANO. 


Figure I. 


The cases of the cheaper 
pianos, as a rule, are made of 
solid wood, generally sweet 
bireh, beech, or basswood, 
which is stained to imitate 
some higher priced wood. The 
eases of the more expensive 
instruments, with the excep- 
tion of the smaller parts, as 
the moulding, fall boards, 
pilasters, and key blocks, are 
always veneered, the veneer 
being of a  fine-finish wood 


such as mahogany, birds-eye 
maple, black and Circassian 
walnut, and rosewood, and 


from one to three-ply in thick- 
ness on a core of some good 
body wood such as sound 
wormy chestnut, red oak, yel- 
low poplar, and white pine.

DAIRYMEN’S AND POULTERERS’ SUPPLIES. 


The new methods in vogue for carrying on the dairy and creamery as well 
as the poultry business along scientific lines has brought about the use and 
manufacture of special equipment among which are included important 
articles made of wood. The factories manufacturing these articles are the 
ones that have supplied the data which has been compiled in the table fol- 
lowing. They are in no way related and have been combined only for con- 
venience in presenting the statistics since it is considered in this way the uses 
of the various woods may be more readily discussed. No one factory was 
found making the entire equipment for all of these above lines of business. 
They usually specialize either in one particular line or in the manufacture 
of a single commodity as incubators, butter tubs, egg crates, etc. 

Under dairymen’s supplies for Pennsylvania are grouped the making 
of churns, butter tubs, cheese boxes, churn vats, milk bottle washers, and 
curd grinders. Ash is the principal wood for churns, both for the staves 
and for the paddles because it retains its shape and is less liable than any 
other wood to impart taste. This wood is used for making all kinds from 
the small domestic churns propelled by hand to the large cylindrical churn 
used in creameries. For the same reason that ash is used for churns it is 
called for ahead of any other wood for making butter tubs and butter pails. 
Maple is used with it for bottoms and covers of butter tubs but the quantity 
is relatively small. In some states experiments have been made with cypress 
for butter tubs but it was not in use in Pennsylvania although it was re- 
ported with ash for churn vats. Over a million and a half feet of wood is 
required for making cheese boxes. Because white elm has the property of 
bending it is used for these commodities ahead of any other wood, not only 
in Pennsylvania, but elsewkere. Other woods are used in fairly large 
amounts probably more for the reason that they could be purchased cheaper 
than for any special adaptability. These woods include beech, yellow birch, 
oak, hemlock, and ash. Wooden parts of the curd grinding machines in 
cheese factories account for the appearance in the table of cottonwood, iron- 
wood, and a large part of the sugar maple. 

The manufacturers of poulterers’ supplies required almost as much lumber 
as the factories making dairymen’s equipment. Incubators and brooders were 
the commodities manufactured. Cypress in the largest amounts answered 


8 


114 


with yellow poplar and white pine for incubator cases and also for trays and 
other inside work. Its stability, affinity for paint and durability are the 
qualities desired for these uses. The bases and legs of incubators are of red 
oak and sugar maple, probably selected for strength. Brooder case woods 
are the same as for incubators except red oak instead of cypress went for 
frames.

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. 


A few manufacturers of this class specialize in building finished piano cases, 
and in the rough, which are called shells. Others make only the 
actions and keys. Others not included in this study buy their cases of one 
manufacturer, their actions of another, their sounding boards of a third, and 
their hardware from those specializing in that line, and operate merely in 
assembling the instrument and varnishing and finishing the exterior. 

Chestnut which combines sufficient strength with light weight and has a 
special adaptability for holding glue is favored above all woods for backing 
veneered cases, and in the quantity consumed leads all other woods reported 
by the Pennsylvania piano makers and organ builders. It is entirely a 
case wood for piano cases. That so much of the chestnut reported should 
have been shiped from other states to the Pennsylvania piano makers is sur- 
prising because the chestnut tree is common throughout Pennsylvania, and 
in the production of chestnut lumber in 1912 Pennsylvania is among the 
three leading states. Other woods used for veneer backing were red oak, 
white pine, yellow poplar, and soft maple, because they possess qualities 
of sufficient strength, are stable in holding their shape, are easily worked, 
and have a special affinity for glue. The woods used for exterior finish 
include red oak, white oak, and red gum, Circassian walnut, sweet birch, 


115 


mahogany, black walnut, and sugar maple. They are bought to a large 
extent as veneer because in that form the selection of the most attractive 
figures is possible. For the backs, posts, and diagonal sweeps, several 
species—sugar maple, beech, soft maple, yellow birch, and white ash con- 
tribute the material because hardness and strength are the properties de- 
manded. The bridges are of spruce, maple, and white ash, because they 
hold their shape well and are strong. The bottom boards are made of maple, 
oak, and hemlock, and the pedal boards of sugar and soft maple. 

Spruce is the most vibrant wood and therefore foremost for piano sound- 
ing boards and sounding board ribs. The red spruce native of the Ap- 
palachian and New England regions, and white spruce of the Lake states, 
have probably been preferred; but since sounding boards are made from 
wide stock of uniform structure, trees suitable for this purpose are sought 
over great distances. At present, therefore, sounding board material is 
shipped from the Northern Pacific Coast states and British Columbia, where 
Sitka spruce supplies the demand. Sounding board material which shows 
a number of small annual rings indicating a slow rate of growth is preferred 
and purchased for high priced pianos. It is usually cut from trees on high 
altitudes where the development is fairly restricted. 

Sugar maple, because it is a hardwood and easy to shape, is most used for 
actions, although some manufacturers use mahogany and sweet birch for 
action rails and red cedar and mahogany for hammer moulding and hammer 
shanks. Sugar maple, owing mostly to its hardness, is used to the exclusion 
of other woods for pin blocks. Red gum comes in for action parts, and 
the fact that it has been reported for this use in several other states besides 
Pennsylvania shows that its qualities have proved it practical for this 
kind of work. 

Piano and organ keys are usually from the upper grades of white pine 
and sugar maple, but in Pennsylvania basswood also served except for sharps 
or flats which, like the organ stops, are made of ebony. Ebony was not 
reported in Pennsylvania nor was any mention made of the manufacture of 
keys and stops indicating that these commodities are brought into the State 
ready manufactured. White ash, white pine, sugar maple, yellow poplar, 
and mahogany furnished the material for the key bottoms because they have 
little tendency to warp. 

Black walnut which is used in larger quantities in this industry than in 
any other is demanded almost entirely for the outside finish or cases of both 
pipe and reed organs. White oak, red oak, red gum, cherry, cotton gum, 
and mahogany also served with it for this use and for consoles and pilasters 
added only ornamentation. The frames and sills of organ cases were of 
shortleaf pine, chestnut, hemlock, and red oak, the wind chests and bellows 
of yellow poplar, basswood, white pine, sugar pine from California, and 
redwood, while white pine, shortleaf pine and yellow poplar answered for 
swell boxes. White pine is the principal wood for organ pipes but cherry, 
sugar pine, and redwood were also reported. Action chests are of a strong 
wood and red oak supplied most of the material. It is interesting to note 
that redwood has begun to be used by the eastern ‘manufacturers for interior 
organ parts. Being fairly strong compared to its light weight, easily worked, 
free from pitch, and possessing the property of holding its shape well are 
the reasons why it is held in high favor with the manufacturers and will 
probably be used more extensively in the future.

The largest amount and greatest number of woods of this industry go 
into cable and wire reels and spools for small size insulated wire. It will be 
noted that the softwood or conifers not plentiful in Pennsylvania are pre- 
terred in their manufacture which probably accounts for so great a per- 
centage of the material being shipped in from other states. Hemlock and 
black walnut were the only woods listed as wholly home-grown. Penn- 
sylvania wire manufacturers use a much larger number of wood reels than 
is indicated in this table but because they are manufactured elsewhere and 
brought to the State ready for use after being assembled merely, informa- 
tion concerning this material was not asked for. It had previously been 
accredited to the state where the reels were actually manufactured.

WATER PIPES AND PUMPS. 


Over two and one-half million feet of lumber is demanded annually. in 
Pennsylvania for making wooden water pipes and wood linings for iron 
water pipes. In coal mining operations the chemical action of the water 
that collects there holds in solution various minerals, chiefly sulphur, that 
have a deleterious effect upon iron. Pipes employed for conducting this 
water away, when of iron, are usually lined with wood to prevent corrosion 
or, aS in many cases, are made entirely of wood. White pine is demanded 
in the largest quantities for both of these purposes. The average price 
indicates that the lower grades were employed, as were the sugar maple, 
beech, and sweet birch and other species were used. Most of the white 
pine reported was State-grown, which is another instance of an industry 
at present depending on the forest resources of the State. Yellow poplar, 
the most expensive wood, came from a distance and went entirely into liquor 
logs, both for well and boat pumps, the latter used principally on boats for 
transporting ore coal and other heavy freight. In other states, according - 


118 


to quantity, cucumber is preferred for liquor logs but unless it was mixed 
with yellow poplar, as is frequently done in marketing this wood, none was 
used in Pennsylvania.

BASKETS AND VENEER PACKAGHS. 


The products of this industry are made exclusively of veneer cut from close 
grained non-resinous woods with the tops and bottoms of thicker material— 
thin lumber,—which is often sawed from the cores (that part of the log 
after the veneer has been removed), or from low grades of lumber. Formerly 
splint baskets were the kinds used. There is a wide difference between split 
wood and woods suitable for veneers. The former require straight grained 
woods, easily rived. The sapwood of white oak, basket oak, cow oak, ash, 
and hickory were among those frequently used. After the introduction of 
rotary veneer machines they began to make them, as they are doing in 
Pennsylvania, from veneer cut into wide strips and woven; and cheaper 
woods, usually with close compact cross grain without much resin, have 
taken the place of the splint woods. For stave baskets a great deal of the 
veneer is cut into staves varying in length from 12 inches to 18 inches. The 
bottom is of solid edged lumber, to which the narrow ends of the staves are 
tacked. The staves are held in place at the top and added strength is given 
at the bottom by the use of thin cut rims of white elm, beech, and soft 
maple. These baskets are made in many sizes and have a bent handle which 
is often of beech, hard maple, and white elm. Various woods answer for 
the veneer part of the stave baskets; the principal ones reported by Pennsyl- 
vania manufacturers are beech, soft maple, elm, ash, birch, and black gum. 

Other commodities made by this industry include packages used in mar- 
keting fruits and vegetables such as tills, hoppers, vendors’ trays, and the 
like. This industry in Pennsylvania used a comparatively small amount 
of wood compared with the amounts used in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, 
and North Carolina. The number of firms specializing in this line as well 
as in basket making justifies the grouping of the information concerning 
this line of manufacture into a separate industry instead of including it with 
the material going into boxes and crates, as has been the case in a number 
of other state reports where the veneer package industry is relatively un- 
important.

FRAMES AND MOULDINGS. 


Woods used in Pennsylvania for picture frame mouldings—plain, enameled, 
embossed, and carved,—electric wire moulding, and frames for school slates 
and blackboards, are listed in Table 75. This industry excludes all mould- 
ings employed in the interior finish of houses except those which are put 
in place by the paper hangers for drop ceiling work and for picture hanging. 
Furniture, casket, and fixture moulding are grouped with the material 
respectively for the industries making these commodities. 

Twenty-one woods are called on for the manufacture of the commodities 
mentioned above and scarcely one-fourth of the total quantity was cut from 
trees that grow within the State. Basswood is the principal material used, 
exceeding threé times the total of all others. It went principally for fancy 
finish such as gilt, enamel, and embossed mouldings. Basswood not only 
holds paint well but keeps its shape and is easy to work and to cut, nail, 
and fit to place. Yellow poplar met part of the demand but was consumed 
in relatively small quantities. Frames displaying the figure of the wood 
are usually the highest priced moulding. Mahogany, white oak, black wal- 
nut, ash, and chestnut are called on by the Pennsylvania manufacturers 
for these lines of work if they are finished in oil or wax to bring out the 
natural beauty of the wood or else are darkened by stains or ammonia 
fumes for mission effects. Red gum is an important wood in this industry. 
It stood third in a similar table in Illinois, second in Michigan, and fourth 
in New York. It answers with sweet birch for the imitation of expensive 
woods. 

Considerably over half a million feet of lumber each year is demanded in 
Pennsylvania for mouldings to conceal and protect electric wiring on walls 
and ceilings. Shortleaf pine and red oak were used in small quantities, but 
basswood met practically all the demand. Slate frames, except those covered 
with cloth, were entirely of beech. Basswood answered for the felt-bound 
ones and together with spruce supplied the material for blackboard frames.

REFRIGERATORS AND KITCHEN CABINETS. 


Table 76 lists the woods used in Pennsylvania in the manufacture of re- 
frigerators, kitchen cabinets, and cupboards. The combination cabinets and 
cupboards have become almost indispensable to housekeepers in that they 
provide a convenient place for all the accessories to cooking that are neces- 
sary to be kept at hand. In late years they have become popular and fac- 
tories making them specialize in this line. Because they are sold at low prices 
they are not usually made of the upper grades of lumber that are employed 
in the manufacture of furniture. Yellow poplar and oak, both red and 
white, and to a limited extent birch, are the woods mainly used in Penn- 
sylvania for the case or outside work. The interior parts, such as shelving, 
compartment partitions, drawer sides and bottoms, etc., are made of yellow 
poplar, spruce, cottonwood, maple and beech. The backs of these cases are 
also made of low grade material and none of special quality or kind was de- 
manded. Almost any cheap species, easily worked, will answer. In conse- 
quence, a proportion of nearly all listed in the table served for this use. 
Shortleaf pine, spruce, and white oak were reported for framing. 

Refrigerators run from what are practically small ice boxes to large sec- 
tional cases the size of a room used by butchers and others doing business 
requiring cold storage equipment. Refrigerators and chests for domestic 
purposes call for soft woods of conifers for linings. 'The reason for this is 
that many hardwoods have an odor and therefore are unfit for a storage 
compartment of perishable foodstuffs. Spruce is the principal lining ma- 
terial in Pennsylvania, and was also employed for ice pan supports. Cypress 
in some states is used for this purpose and in others white and yellow pine 
is used. The siding or outer case is usually hardwood,—white oak, white 
ash, red oak, birch, cherry, and red gum. They are selected as being 
not only best for the work intended, but the exterior properly finished gives 
the chest the appearance of an article of furniture, The case is not attached 


121 


to the lining, since between the lining and the case there is provided an in- 
sulation space, which in some refrigerators is filled with materials like 
sawdust, cork, and charcoal, and in other refrigerators the space is left 
unfilled, the dead air being regarded the most effective insulation. Lum- 
ber for refrigerators must be well dried as otherwise the extreme variations 
of temperature are apt to cause it to buckle and check. The large refrigera- 
tors or cooling rooms are built to order in the place in which they are 
used. Though hardwoods are called on for the exterior or case work of the 
higher priced work, softwoods answer to a considerable extent both for the 
linings and cases. The materials for both of these parts are usually rather 
thick and are preferred to guard more effectively against the penetration 
of heat. It is possible, so the Pennsylvania manufacturers claim, to secure 
a temperature of 38 degrees from ice alone in these large refrigerators.

EXCELSIOR. 


Formerly excelsior was called wood fiber but later it received its present 
name given it by an upholstery firm in its advertisement. In 1860 this 
commodity was first placed on the market by a Maine manufacturer, but 
it was not called on to meet much of a demand for a decade; then with 
the improved machinery invented by Europeans the manufacture of excelsior 
was greatly facilitated. Since that time it has become a staple product. 
According to a recent report by the Forest Service and the Bureau of the 
Census, it was ascertained that 85,000,000 feet of forest material is yearly 
demanded for its manufacture. Pennsylvania is not so important an excelsior 
state as either Virginia or New York, the former being second and the 
latter third. Pennsylvania is the tenth, consuming each year over one and 
a half million feet of wood all cut within the State, In the New Hngland 


122 


and Lake states, aspen or popple, basswood and willow are used; in Vir- 
ginia and North Carolina, scrub and loblolly pine, yellow poplar, and white 
pine meet the demand. In the Mississippi Valley states excelsior makers 
report the use of cottonwood, yellow poplar and yellow pine, and in the 
Pacific coast states black cottonwood alone furnishes all of the demand. For 
the United States, in quantity, aspen is the favorite excelsior wood, yellow 
pine next.. Pennsylvania manufacturers prefer basswood and yellow poplar 
next. These woods with aspen make the best grades of excelsior. The con- 
sumption of yellow poplar in this line of manufacture is greater in Pennsyl- 
vania than in any other state, though it is used in eight others. Butter- 
nut appears in only one other state, New Jersey, and, next to Michigan, 
beech finds its greatest demand in Pennsylvania for excelsior. Chestnut 
excelsior is solely a product of Pennsylvania and until this investigation, 
the Forest Service had received no record of the use of this wood for this 
purpose. Excelsior wood should be straight grained, soft, dense, light in 
weight and color, moderately non-brittle, stiff when dry, and odorless. 

The raw material used for making excelsior comes in the form of bolts and 
split billets, usually in lengths the multiples of 18 inches. The wood is 
thoroughly seasoned before manufacturing but if seasoned too long it be- 
comes brittle and often is injured by certain forms of incipient decay. The 
billets are set in the excelsior machines and without further handling are 
shaved into the finished product. The output of an eight block machine 
varies from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds per day according to the fineness of 
the product. From the cutting machines the excelsior is taken to the bal- 
ing room where presses, similar in operation to hay balers, put it into 
marketable form. 

The first use of excelsior was for packing wares liable to injury in trans- 
portation, but later it proved valuable for filling cheap mattresses and up- 
holstered furniture. In France not only does excelsior answer for this pur- 
pose, but highly improved machinery has made it possible to manufacture 
a product of such fine grade as to be a fit substitute for the absorbent lint 
used in hospital, or filtration purposes, and for weaving into floor coverings. 
Various grades of excelsior are frequently dyed without losing their elasticity. 
They serve as an ornamental packing material, and for color schemes in dis- 
playing goods in show cases, but none was reported in Pennsylvania. Table 
77 gives the available statistics.

PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. 


Under this industry are listed the woods used for making apparatus or 
wooden parts thereof that contribute equipment for public parks and play- 
grounds. Swings, merry-go-rounds, coasting boards, ferris wheels, croquet 
sets, see-saws, shoot-the-chutes, etc., are examples of the principal ones. 
Swings, however, were the only commodities manufactured in Pennsylvania. 
The total of the following table, 1,507,300 feet, represents the amount of 
material that is required each year for their manufacture. Not all of this 
material went into playground swings since swings of every description are 
included and some required more lumber for making than others. Accord- 
ing to quantity consumed, lawn and porch swings are the most important. 
The latter answer not only for amusement but are also useful as furniture ,— 
a suspended settee for porch appointments. Of late this commodity has 
grown rapidly in favor. 

Nine woods are listed in Table 78, and those species best suited for swing 
material, i. e., those possessing the necessary inherent qualities of strength, 
hardness, and durability when exposed are the ones included. The oaks, 
beech, and ashes in the order named, were the most prominent hardwoods. 
The chief conifers used were longleaf, shortleaf, and loblolly pine, the last 
named being used in the largest quantities. The pines answered mostly for 
lawn swings and principally for the staffs and the frame work or super- 
structure.

PRINTING MATERIAL. 


Electrotype backing, woodcut engravings, and wood type are the only 
products listed under this head. Four woods were demanded for their 
making. Cherry heads the list as to quantity and went entirely into elec- 
rotype mountings, which is probably the most exacting use it has. Because 
it is less liable to warp than any other American woods that possess the 
other requisite qualities for this use is the reason the electrotypers demand 
cherry exclusively. Its strength and density, its resistence to splitting, 
and its property to work smoothly are other important qualities which com- 


124 


mend it. Electrotype backing is not made, as formerly, entirely from solid 
lumber. Glue is to a large extent called on to put together narrow strips 
or thin layers for built-up mountings that are beginning to be used ex- 
tensively. The growing scarcity of cherry, together with the rapidly in- 
creasing demand for this line of work requires the electrotypers to pay a 
price over twice as great as that asked five years ago. 

For wood engravings, boxwood from Turkey and Russia was the only 
wood reported and in other states as well it met most of the demand, 
especially for high grade work. It is the most expensive wood that is listed 
in any industry. The price, $1,300 per thousand feet, is little, if any, above 
the usual cost of this wood for engravings and it is usually sold in terms 
of cubic inches, four cents being the average reported in Philadelphia. Owing 
to the high cost of this wood, engravers employ domestic substitutes to a 
large extent, but they are for the cheaper grades of work. Sugar maple, 
apple, and pearwood are the kinds most used. ; 

Metal has almost entirely replaced wood for printer’s type. Wood is 
still called for to a limited extent, chiefly for manufacturing large size type 
such as is used for printing billboard advertisements. Formerly boxwood 
furnished the material, but its high cost now stands in the way and sugar 
maple, which was the only wood reported in Pennsylvania, now furnishes 
most of the supply.

LADDERS. 


Nine manufacturers reported the making of ladders, including step iad- 
ders, travelling store ladders, firemen’s ladders, and extension ladders used 
by painters and other mechanics. In other state reports ladders have been 
classified under woodenware but owing to the number of concerns in Penn- 
sylvania specializing in making them and because of the large quantity of 
wood which they annually consume, their presentation under a separate 
heading is justified. 


125 


Loblolly pine and basswood supplied the largest part of the demand and 
were called on mostly for step ladders because being strong and at the same 
time light in weight they are well adapted for this line of use. Beech was 
used extensively for steps because of its strength, and in order not to make 
the ladders too heavy, it was used with a lighter wood for styles. Other 
step ladder woods were cypress, longleaf pine, and spruce. The staffs, which 
are the hinged supports, are made of various woods and usually of the 
same kind as the styles except those of considerable length where extra 
sirength is desired. In order not to add too much weight staffs are made of 
strips of small dimension and to meet the stress imposed are well braced and 
made from material free from imperfections. For extension and firemen’s 
ladders high grades are used. Spruce is most in demand for the styles or 
uprights while for the ladder rungs, hickory, ash, beech, and maple were 
employed in the order mentioned. 

Travelling ladders are so named because they are readily moved by the 
occupant without descending. They are used in stores. Pulleys, movable 
on a track, are attached at the top, and in some designs the bottoms rest 
on castors. Lightness of weight is not a consideration in these as in step 
ladders and thicker materials and heavier woods are therefore used. Long- 
leaf pine was used mostly but sugar maple, loblolly, and shortleaf pine 
also met a part of the demand. 

Sixty-five per cent. of the ladder woods were kinds that do not grow 
plentifully and some not at all in Pennsylvania. This accounts for only 
29 per cent. of the requirements of this industry being met by the forests 
of the State. Of the kinds reported common to Pennsylvania, the entire 
amounts consumed were home-grown except basswood, nearly one-half of 
which was brought in from forests of other states.

ELEVATORS. 


Fifteen manufacturers reported using wood for the manufacture and re- 
pair of freight and passenger elevators, both hand power and traction, lifts, 
dumb waiters, ete., and many of them are important industries maintain- 
ing formidable establishments. In the production of the finished commodity 
they give Pennsylvania a high standing among the states but in consumption 
of lumber they report the use of only a little over a million feet, annually, 
making this industry 35th in the list or 17th from the last. Not many years 
ago lumber was the most essential material the elevator manufacturers used 
but generally steel construction began to take the place of wood and proved 
to be such a practical and desirable substitute that now for power elevators, 
especially passenger, wood is employed only incidentally for a few minor 
parts. The sight of the old time wooden passenger elevator car today is 
an exception, but on the other hand many small freight elevators and dumb 
waiters are made entirely of wood, the initial cost being much lower than 
steel. Some are made that are part steel and part wood. The rough lumber 
demanded for elevator construction is shown in Table 81. EHleven kinds 
were reported and their principal uses are as follows:

This industry does not depend on the forests of the State to any great 
extent as a source of raw material. Less than one-quarter of the total was 
grown in Pennsylvania because the lumber chiefly used in elevator con- 
struction is of kinds that are rarely, if at all, cut in Pennsylvania. Long- . 
leaf, Norway or red, loblolly, and shortleaf pine, and cypress together 
constitute over 52 per cent. of the total. Sugar maple and ash were the prin- 
cipal home-grown woods demanded and from the average prices recorded the 
upper’ grades were principally purchased. The available statistics are:

CANES AND WHIPS. 


The variety of woods used for canes, umbrella and parasol handles ex- 
ceeds that reported by any other industry in Pennsylvania. Table 82 in- 
cludes 72 species of wood. Because the raw material for these commodities 
is most usually purchased in billet, pole or twig form, and very frequently 
by the piece, it was impractical to reduce the amount of the material re- 
ported to board feet except in a few cases when certain woods were used in 
comparatively large quantities. The total of Table 82 does not, therefore, 
represent the entire amount of wood that is used for manufacturing these 


128 


products in Pennsylvania, but in order that the remarkable number of dif- 
ferent kinds of wood,—many of which have not been reported in any other 
state report,—may be presented, they have been listed in the table without 
accompanying statistics. Most of them are high priced and a majority are 
foreign woods. As many as were readily available will be found included in 
the preceding illustration. A large per cent. of all the sugar maple and soft 
maple shown in the table went for dowels or shanks of umbrellas and para- 
sols, while the entire amount of beech answered for whip stocks and 
handles. Reed cut in large quantities from rattan shipped from the Orient 
was also used for whips but it was reported in pounds and could not be 
reduced to feet to be included in the table.

PLUMBERS’ WOODWORK. 


In connection with bathroom and toilet furnishings and other forms of 
plumbing installation there are certain useful commodities made of wood 
which have been grouped under this heading and the materials used for 
making them presented in Table 83. Drainboards, which serve as dish wash- 
ing tables, connected with the sink, call for a large quantity of wood which, 
on account of holding its shape, ash alone supplied. Usually these boards 
are grooved to facilitate drainage. Sweet birch, finished with a high polish, 
was mainly used for bath stools, some in imitation of mahogany but most 
of them painted or enameled white, the birch being specially adaptable to 
both kinds of finish. Water closet seats, lids, and tanks, are the other 
commodities of this industry in Pennsylvania and like the wood for fixtures 
and furniture, high grade material with considerable figure and susceptible 
of taking a polish is largely demanded. Yellow poplar is an exception as it 
answers in large amounts only for white enameled finish and is desired be- 
cause it holds its shape, takes paint readily, and is moderately strong. Birch 
is probably equally suitable except that it is more liable to warp, but this 
is overcome in the superior advantages it offers in being stronger and af- 
fording a higher polish. White and red oak, including considerable quar- 
tered stock, cherry, mahogany, ash, and sweet birch used for exterior work 
are the woods selected for figure and are finished natural with wax or var- 
nish. Chestnut in some states was reported among these woods but in Penn- 
sylvania where it is extensively cut, the manufacturers of plumbing wood- 
work made no mention of it. This industry does not depend largely upon 
the forests of ‘the State as the manufacturers report only 15 per cent. of all 
the wood they used as State-grown.

INSULATOR PINS AND BRACKETS. 


Durability and strength are the requisite qualities of insulator pin ma- 
terial, and locust is the wood principally used in their manufacture. In the 
country at large, its use for this purpose exceeds seven times the amount 
of all other woods combined and in Pennsylvania over 425,000 feet are used 
each year. White oak, red oak, elm, and osage orange are other woods 
used for pins in various states, but, unlike locust, where these are em- 
ployed they are ordinarily dipped in paint or some antiseptic solution, such 
as creosote, in order to increase their durability. In Pennsylvania locust 
was the only wood reported for insulator pins and the other woods appearing 
in the table were used for pole brackets.

BUTCHERS’ BLOCKS AND SKEWERS. 


The two important woods for butchers blocks are sycamore and sugar 
maple. On account of their desired qualities, hardness and uncleavability, 
together with their strength and tastelessness, they are first among the do- 
mestic woods for this use. Formerly butchers’ blocks were round, usually 


131 


a cross section of a large tree barked and trimmed symmetrically, varying 
in thickness from 18 to 30 inches. It is exceedingly difficult to season pieces 
of this size thoroughly and trouble results by blocks checking, rendering 
it difficult to keep them clean and sanitary. Lately considerable improvement 
in seasoning processes has partly overcome the only objection to sycamore 
blocks. The advancement made in the art of gluing woods, which has 
brought into prominence built-up lumber, has entirely overcome all check- 
ing difficulties and enabled the making of blocks lighter in weight but with 
requisite strength, equally as serviceable and with a more attractive ap- 
pearance. 

The built-up block is the only kind of block being made in Pennsylvania, 
and sugar maple is the wood used. The size of the pieces that are glued dif- 
fer slightly according to the dimensions of the finished block but most com- 
monly they are 3 inches thick, 4 inches wide, and 16 to 18 inches long. It 
is very important that the lumber for the blocks be thoroughly seasoned and 
to bring it to the desired condition both air and kiln-drying methods are 
used. Before gluing the pieces together, they are jointed by machinery in 
order that they fit perfectly, leaving no apertures along edges for glue to 
collect and thus taint the meat. That they may more readily adhere to the 
glue the smooth flat surfaces are roughened. This process is important 
since the rough usage given the meat block brings great strain on the glued 
joints which must be as strong as it is possible for the best glue to make 
them. The flat glue joint is used and to weld the pieces together after being 
heated and covered with glue, they are subjected for 12 or 14 hours to the 
pressure of a hydraulic machine. They are then bored for several iron rods 
that are added as a reinforcement for the glued joints. The legs are made 
usually of the same kind of wood as the meat blocks, namely, maple, but 
sometimes red oak is used. 

Hickory and white pine are the principal woods used for skewers. Those 
made from the latter wood are employed in kitchens for holding in shape 
croquettes and other dainties and by confectioners for taffy sticks. Hickory 
skewers were made to meet the demand of the butchers. Beech and maple 
are prominent for meat skewers but none were reported by the manufac- 
turers in Pennsylvania where these woods are common lumber trees.

WEIGHING APPARATUS, 

This industry as measured by the consumption of wood is one of the small 
ones of this report. It includes material for scale manufacture such as is 
used by, railroads, called track scales and hay wagon scales, often used in 
coal yards, besides platform and counter scales for stores, warehouses, and 
cabinet scales such as are used for compounding medicines, weighing gold, 
silver, and precious stones. 

Longleaf pine is the most common wood for large scales on account of its 
durability, strength, and elasticity. It goes principaily into the framework 
of track and wagon scales and was shipped to Pennsylvania from the Gulf 
states. Sugar maple is next in quantity answering more for the counter 
and platform scales than any other use because, being hard, tough, strong, 
and close grained with a tendency to wear smooth, it is specially adapted 
for this purpose. The handsome finish of mahogany and cherry, together 
with their compact structure, and the property of holding their shape, com- 
mend them for use as material for making the basal parts of cabinet scales 
and for the frame of the glass cases usually enclosing these scales.

PROFESSIONAL: AND SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS. 

The amount of lumber used by this industry is relatively very small, but 
the products grouped under it are numerous and vary according to the uses 
they serve in the several trades or professions included. In the quantity of 
wood used the pencil makers are the most important class. Similar to the 
pencil manufacturers in New: Jersey, New York, and other states, they 
report using’ only one wood, red cedar, which is brought to Pennsylvania 
from the southern states. Tennessee and Florida are at present the centers 
of production of this wood. Other kinds, both domestic and foreign, 
have been considered as possible substitutes because of the growing scarcity 
of red cedar, but the experiments indicate that only a few species have been 
found fairly successful and these answer mostly for a cheap pencil. This 
brings out how difficult it is to find a wood combining all the qualities 
reguisite for pencil material and how essential it is that pencil woods pos- 
sess qualities almost identical to red cedar. Pencil makers procure their 
raw material in the form of slats that are usually 24 inches wide and 7 inches 


133 

long, and inch thick. Not frequently the pencil makers manufacture 
their own slats, but there are concerns specializing in cedar products who 
convert their best material into pencil slats and the remainder into lumber 
for utility boxes, furniture squares, and closet linings. Formerly when 
cedar was abundant pencil slats were manufactured entirely from logs, but 
rapidly decreasing supply of cedar timber has brought into the market old 
stumps, fence rails, gate posts, barn and cabin logs, and material in various 
shapes and condition, even partly decayed and weather checked. As can 
be expected, therefore, waste incident to the sawing of pencil slats is large 
and has been estimated to be about four-fifths of the original amount pur- 
chased. A pencil slat makes six half-pencils. The same operation that grooves 
them to accommodate the lead also gives them their final form and the 
corresponding halves are identically made from another slat and glued to- 
gether. 

Carpenters’ tools belong to this industry. They include commodities made 
almost entirely of wood such as spirit levels, rules, gauges, mallet heads, 
level boards, etc. Tools part wood and part metal like screwdrivers, chisels, 
gimlets, etc., have been grouped under the handle industry. White oak 
alone met the demand for gauges which require a hard dense light colored 
wood and from the price given only the best grades were used. In other 
States boxwood and sugar maple were also used but neither. kind was re- 
ported in Pennsylvania. White ash and mahogany, because most stable 
when in place, answered for spirit levels and plumbs. In Connecticut and 
New Jersey, where a quantity of these commodities are made, cherry is an 
important wood and large quantities are used. Level boards were entirely 
of white pine, while for mallets a variety of woods is used. For carpenters’ 
and tinners’ mallets sugar maple answered while lignum-vitae, shipped from 
Mexico, and dogwood served for bung starters and coppersmiths’ mallets. 
Heads of mauls used by sheet metal workers are made of black or sour gum 
and it is interesting to note that recently this wood has begun to replace 
sugar maple for this use. Its interlaced fiber, which prevents it from split- 
ting, commends it, besides it is cheap and owing to the large dimensions 
the trees attain the bolts can readily be had in desired Sizes. 

In Pennsylvania, as in other states, boxwood is the principal rule ma- 
terial, both for mechanics’ collapsible rules and office rulers. It is shipped 
to this country usually from Turkey or other Mediterranean countries, and 
owing to its hardness, light color, and stability, it is preferred to any other 
wood for this commodity. The same qualities commend it to the makers of 
draftsmen’s scales, such as straight-edges, triangles, graduated and slide 
rules. if 

Camera makers report using three woods,—mahogany, cherry, and yellow 
poplar. The first two are the important ones, being strong, close-grained, 
and free from warping tendencies as well as ornamental. Yellow poplar is 
used in only relatively small amounts in this line of work and when so de- 
manded goes principally into kits. Ebony was the highest priced wood shown 
in the table and was reported by the makers of drafting instruments.

PULLEYS AND CONVEYORS. 

The commodities grouped in this industry are tackle blocks, belt pulleys, 
conveyors, and clutches, and thirteen kinds of wood are used for making 
them. Metal has to a large extent replaced wood in this line of manufacture, 
but studies similar to this in various states have shown that a considerable 
quantity of wood is still demanded for making them. For belt pulley rims the 
manufacturers in Pennsylvania call for birch, basswood, yellow poplar, cucum- 
ber, cottonwood, and butternut, and for the center arms, red oak, white oak, 
sugar maple, ash, and beech. 

Tackle block material must be dense, hard, strong, tough, and most diffi- 
cult to split. White ash, sugar maple, and a small amount of black gum are 
the woods reported in use in Pennsylvania though in other states elm is 
frequently used. Pulley blocks are of many types and sizes in order to meet 
a variety of uses. For example, those required on vessels, in building con- 
struction, in mines, on derricks and hoists by house painters, masons, car- 
penters, etc., range from a snatch block to the multiple pulley blocks. The 
latter is usually of the shoulder block type and designed for one or more 
sheaves. It is sometimes chambered out to receive a wheel in each compart- 
ment while at other times two or more wheels are placed side by side in a sec- 
tion. The old time block maker did much of the work by hand, but the im- 
proved machinery in recent years does the work with greater accuracy and 
in much less time. The lumber is ripped into dimensions the width of the 
block and the reciprocating saw then cuts the dimensions into shape, when 
they are passed on to be mortised. Often the wheel slats are cut by SNCS 
and then the blocks are ready for the sheaves. 

A small part of this industry consists in the manufacture of conveyors such 
as are used in factory elevators and warehouses to carry merchandise and 
grain. These require only a limited amount of wood for small parts and 
white oak and sugar maple are the species reported.

BOOT AND SHOE FINDINGS. 


Nearly all shoes in the United States are made over wooden lasts and, 
therefore, the manufacture of these lasts as well as other shoe findings is an 
important enterprise. In comparison with the quantity of woods consumed in 
other states, particularly Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, and 
New York, this industry in Pennsylvania is relatively small; but because of 
the substantial well equipped establishments, of the skilled labor employed, 
and in the high grade of products manufactured, it is of considerable 
industrial importance. Lasts, shoe forms, and wood soles are the commodities 
to which the statistics in Table 89 refer. 

Lasts are made from sugar maple and persimmon because they possess the 
essential qualities of hardness, density, capacity for smooth finish, and per- 
manence in final shape. No other domestic woods have been found equally 
suitable. The former goes into lasts, all sizes and kinds, both for leather 
and rubber shoes, and the latter for the better grades of children’s and misses’ 
sizes. Considering the great number of shoes made in this country, compar- 
atively few lasts are needed as many pairs are made over the same pattern. 
The wear on the last is considerable and it can be used steadily for no longer 
_ than twelve to fifteen months. For that reason only the high grade select wood 
is required. 

There are two distinct divisions of the last industry,—the manufacture of 
the last block from bolts, and the manufacture of the finished last from the 
rough turned blocks. The industry in Pennsylvania covers only the manu- 
facture of the latter and the fact that no last and filler blocks were found being - 
made in the State, though maple and basswood are commonly cut in Pennsyl- 
vania, explains the fact that the entire amount of wood used by the last 
makers was reported as coming from other states. 

Last block manufacture entails various difficulties in kiln-drying and many 
who have started the business have failed. Those who have mastered the 
obstacles and acquired efficient processes of seasoning manufacture on &@ 


136 


large scale and therefore reduce the number of block factories many times 
below the number of the last makers. Last blocks are split from bolts winter 
cut and then rough turned to various sizes on machines usually of special 
design. The seasoning begins after the blocks are turned. First, they are 
air-dried about twelve months after they are placed on racks under sheds. 
The seasoning is completed by means of dry kilns and for this a period, 
approximately three months, is required when the block is ready to send 
to the last maker. : 

Shoe trees, to be inserted into shoes to hold the shape, are an important 
part of this industry but none are manufactured in Pennsylvania. Formerly 
they were made solid of wood and were expensive. The best are still so 
made; but recently, by the introduction of a combination tree of steel bands 
and wood blocks, it has been made possible to make them to sell at a nominal 
cost. : 

Basswood is used as exclusively for forms or fillers as is sugar maple for 
lasts. Forms are turned similarly from rough turned blocks. They are used 
to maintain the natural shape of the shoe in samples displayed in show cases 
and when being handled by traveling salesmen. They fit the shoes perfectly 
and give an effect similar to the appearance of the shoe on jthe foot. Fillers 
should be light in weight to save cost in transportation in salesmen’s trunks. 
To reduce weight to the minimum many are hollowed, and basswood being 
soft, easily worked, light, and sufficiently tough, holding its shape well, is 
the most practical wood to use. The growing high cost of basswood has made 
a demand for a suitable substitute at a lower price but as yet none has been 
found. a 

Clog or wooden soled shoes have leather tops and are used by people working 
in wet and cold places, such as breweries, tanneries, creameries, mines, dye 
works, fish canneries, slaughter houses, paper mills, also in foundriés 
and metal works, and by others who desire a very durable shoe at a reason- 
able price. High grades of yellow poplar and basswood are the materials de- 
manded for clog soles in Pennsylvania, but in Jllinois, Michigan, and Ken- 
tucky, beech, maple, and basswood in the order named contributed the 
material.

SMOKING PIPHS. 


Pennsylvania leads all other states in the consumption of wood for smoking 
pipes. Five woods supply the raw material for this line of manufacture; two 
of them are foreign species. Applewood leads the list as to amount, and is 
the only wood reported cut in the State. The best grades of pipes are made 
from French briar, ebony, and rosewood, but the last named was not re- 
ported in Pennsylvania. The sapwood of sweet or cherry birch and red gum 
is used for cheap pipes, che former to imitate calabash and the latter rose- 
wood. Olivewood pipes resemble meerschaum when finished.

SPORTING AND ATHLETIC GOODS. 

Ash, on account of its strength and convenient weight, is probably the 
premier wood for baseball bats. The entire amount listed in Table 91 went 
for this use, and most of it was purchased in the form of squares, usually 
3 inches by 3 inches by 38 inches long. In other states bat maufacturers used 
several woods, the principal ones other than ash being hickory, willow, 
beech, ironwood, and maple. Though all of these are trees indigenous to 
Pennsylvania, and the wood easily obtained, the manufacturers in this State 
did not report the use of any. 

Twice as much beech was used for game traps as any other wood and its 
strength and density especially favor it for this purpose. Hard maple, its 
chief competitor, with small quantities of ash and birch supplied the rest of 
the material, purchased in the form of surfaced lumber. All used was cut 
in the State. 3 

Sugar maple, hard, tough, close grained, easily turned, has proved the 
best qualified wood for duck and ten pins. The quantity used in Pennsylvania 
is somewhat disappointing considering the large quantity of pins sold. Infor- 
mation was secured of a large number of duck pin squares being cut in the 
State, but they were shipped elsewhere to be manufactured and doubtless 
are sent back to be sold in the finished product. Lignum-vitae answered for 
bowling balls and, though a composition ball resembling hard rubber is being 
more generally used, the best bowlers prefer the wooden ball. Lignum- 
vitae is the highest priced wood shown in the table and is bought in the form 
of bolts shipped from the West Indies. No domestic wood possesses the com- 


138 


bined qualities for balls equal to lignum-vitae. It is very heavy, hard, dense, 
strong, and keeps its shape. Dogwood is the nearest approach and is used to 
a limited extent but is not durable. None was reported in Pennsylvania. 

Sugar maple and longleaf pine are the most used woods for bowling alleys. 
The latter wood, edge grain and best grade, is used for the bed of the alley, 
and the former for the approach and pin spot end and also for the return 
track. Spruce or longleaf pine are the best for the gutters, and for the buffer 
frames and sheathing shortleaf pine and hemlock were called for. 

Pool and billiard tables and shuffle boards account for the rest of the 
woods not mentioned above which are listed in the table. Chestnut and 
yellow poplar answers for frames of pool and billiard tables, red oak, white 
oak, ash, and sugar maple for the legs and also for sides and bodies. Cherry 
went into triangles for setting pool balls and maple was the only wood for cues.

SADDLES AND HARNESS. 


Hames are the principal commodity included in the following table. They 
require a tough, strong, close wood. Ash and white oak furnished the largest 
portion of the supply of raw material in Pennsylvania, which was purchased 
in the form of squares of various sizes, the principal sizes being 24 inches by 
24 inches, 30 inches long, and 2% inches by 2% inches, 32 inches long. White 
ash was the favorite as to quantity. Black ash and hickory, though used, 
contributed but small amounts. Pennsylvania is the first state in which 
hickory has been reported by hame manufacturers though it has for a long 
time been used by farmers for hand-made hames. According to reports from 
factories in other states, ironwood, sugar maple, beech, white elm, and 
red oak are suitable hams materials though their use was not reported in 
large quantities. 

White ash was the only wood called for in Pennsylvania for making saddle 
trees, which is the only product except hames classed under this heading. 
From other similar state reports, ash, though adaptable, is an uninportant 
wood for this use. The kinds most used named in the order of quantity and 
selected because of the quality of toughness with requisite weight are: White 


139 


elm, cottonwood, sycamore, soft maple, white oak, ash, hackberry, and 
basswood.

GATES AND FENCING. 

Table 93 lists seven woods used in Pennsylvania for fence pickets and 
gates, both farm gates and those used for the enclosure of front yards and 
lawns. White cedar, shipped in from the Carolinas, stands first as to quan- 
tity and in no other industry was it the principal wood. Its durability in ex- 
posed situations especially commends it for this use. Spruce is listed in the 
table in large quantities and the fact that it was preferred to several State- 
grown woods that could probably have been obtained cheaper and known to 
be more durable, is worthy of note. The durable properties of cypress, to- 
gether with its strength, favor it also as an excellent wood for gate and fenc- 
ing material. That cypress is demanded for the best lines of work of this 
character is seen from the fact that it is the only wood reported by railroads 
for crossing gates. In the lower grades it is popular for lawn fence pickets, 
for which use it serves with chestnut and white pine. Stubs, the wooden parts 
of patent woven wire fencing, called for chestnut and white cedar. Though 
white cedar was used in larger quantities, yet chestnut, because it is cheaper 
and at the same time possesses lasting qualities for outdoor uses, is destined 
to grow in favor for this purpose.

CLOCK CASES. 

In the quantity of wood consumed, the manufacture of clock cases in Penn- 
svlvania is one. of the minor industries. However, since wood is only one 
of a number of materials required, it is not a fair basis for comparison. Clock 
makers report the use of lumber for mantel and wall clocks, and to a limited 
extent for large hall and grandfather clocks. Mahogany is the principal 
wood used and represents over 50 per cent. of the total. This is the only in- 
dustry in which an imported wood leads the list of species. Next to ma- 
hogany, the oaks were in the largest demand for the exterior work of wall 
clocks finished natural or darkened by fumes or stain to produce the mis- 
sion effects. 

The backs of cases of all kinds and the bottoms of mantel clocks are not 
visible and are therefore made of cheaper wood. Yellow poplar and bass- 
wood met this demand because they hold their shape and are easy to work 
and nail. Yellow poplar is also called on to a limited extent for the base or 
backing of enameled work. The art of enameling wood has made rapid 
progress of late years and imitations are made not only to resemble foreign 
woods but also marble and other materials. 

Veneer takes a prominent place in this industry, both as a finish and as 
layers in 3-ply built-up stock used in making clock cases. The appearance of 
chestnut and yellow poplar in the table is accounted for in this form. In re- 
gard to the price shown for red gum, it should be noted that it was used for 
finish or exterior work and as it is frequently found beautifully modeled with 
figure and color similar to Circassian walnut it furnishes a substitute for that 
wood for finish.

ROLLERS AND POLBES. 


Window shade rollers belong to this industry but none are manufactured in 
Pennsylvania, though sawmills cutting white pine were found furnishing 
large quantities of material in the desired form to the New York shade roller 
makers. Curtain poles and brackets, rug and drugget poles, and awning 
rollers are the articles to which the statistics in Table 95 refer. Basswood is 
the leading wood and it went entirely into curtain poles. It serves well for 
this use, first, because it is so easily worked, and second, the ease and 
permanence with which it takes paint and stain allows it to be finished to 
imitate expensive hardwoods like walnut, mahogany, and oak. Hard maple, 
sweet birch, white oak, and white ash are other important curtain pole woods 
and the ones reported mainly for curtain pole fixtures and brackets. 

Rug and drugget pole manufacturers called principally for black gum, but 
beech, basswood, and yellow poplar met part of the demand. Awning rollers 
require a heavy wood. Sugar maple, hickory, beech, and black gum were the 
ones reported. The two former, being expensive, were used in small quan- 
tities only. Black gum is practically a new wood for this use but the demand 
is increasing owing to its being one of the cheapest hardwoods with the -re- 
quisite weight, strength, and adaptability for being turned. Redwood was 
the only wood reported for shade hangers.

MANUAL TRAINING PRACTICE. 


Improved systems of public school education today endeavor to give not 
only a thorough grounding in the usual elementary subjects but also offer op- 
portunities to acquire the fundamentals of various artisan trades by methods 
of practical work in the laboratory, the shop, or the field. These specialized 
schools or departments are known as “Manual Training” and in connection 
with the excellent system of public education in Pennsylvania there has been 
established a large number of them throughout the State. They offer instruc- 
tion in a diversity of practical courses. Important among these is wood craft. 
Shops equipped with tools of all kinds and with wood-working machinery af- 
ford training in the making of many kinds of commodities and an insight into 
all lines and processes of wood-working. Woods that are soft and possess 
properties to work easily are naturally the kinds in greatest demand. That 
white pine, yellow poplar, and basswood head the list in Table 96, therefore, 
is not surprising, but that so small amounts of yellow pine and hemlock are 
employed, these being the cheapest woods, is interesting, especially as these 
woods are important in many wood manufacturing industries. If both the 
red and white oaks had been compiled under one heading, oak, this wood 
would have been first in the table. Of the twenty species used, mahogany is 
the highest priced and beech the lowest.

MISCELLANEOUS. 


In soliciting information from the various manufacturers concerning the 
extent of their operations in the consumption of wood, the Forest Service 
and the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry made assurance that the data 
would be treated confidentialiy and not used in the report so as to reveal the 
identity of the establishments furnishing it. Whenever, therefore, fewer than 
three factories making similar commodities were entitled to be grouped as an 
industry, rather than discard the information from the report it was placed 
under the head ‘‘Miscellaneous,” 

The nearly seven and a half million feet shown as the total of the table 
includes considerably over five million of State-grown white pine for matches, 
more than 100 M feet of beech cut in the State for brewer chips, used in brew- 
eries to clarify beer, nearly 200 M feet of white ash, Douglas fir, soft 
maple, and beech for flag poles and shafts, and nearly one-half that amount 
consisting of spruce, hemlock, and yellow pine for tent poles, Small quan- 
tities of red cedar were used for oil barrel faucets, and black walnut 


and Circassian walnut for stocks and fore-ends of both fire-arms and of air 
rifles.

ROUGH FOREST PRODUCTS. 


It was pointed out on a preceding page that this study does not include 
the rough lumber produced by the Pennsylvania sawmills, nor the State’s out- 
put of shingles, lath, cooperage, wood distillation, veneer, pulpwood, etc. 
The Bureau of the Census, co-operating with the Forest Service, yearly col- 
lects statistics for these commodities and in order to make this report com- 
plete in all phases of wood consumption, the census figures have been copied 
from the latest bulletins, 1911-12, in so far as they relate to Pennsylvania, 
and are presented in tabular form in the following paragraphs. 


LUMBER. 

In the production of chestnut lumber, Pennsylvania is second among the 
states, and third in the cut of hemlock, maple, and beech. The following 
table shows 22 woods cut in the State in 1912, arranged according to quantity, 
together with the average price per M feet at the mill and the total cost.

LATHS. 


Many of the plastering Jaths produced in Pennsylvania are produced from 
sawmill waste. Large quantities are also manufactured by portable lath mills 
that follow the sawmill onto cut-over tracts and clear up the remaining small 
softwood and the soft hardwood trees, as well as utilize the cutoffs, crooked 
logs, tops, and other material the lumbermen left in the woods. Hemlock 
and white pine are the principal lath woods in Pennsylvania, although spruce, 
yellow poplar, cucumber, and aspen were also reported. 


SHINGLES. 

Chestnut, because it is a durable wood outside and cheap, is the principal 
shingle material in Pennsylvania. White pine, hemlock, and a few hard- 
woods in small amounts were the other woods to contribute to the output. In 
the production of shingles Pennsylvania is not one of the principal states, 
but compared with the quantity of wood used by the various wood-using in- 
dustries of the State and especially with the home-grown material reported, 
it is of considerable importance. Shingles made in Pennsylvania are both 
split and sawed, the sawed shingle is more salable and therefore, the kind 
generally manufactured.

y COOPERAGE. 


Table “ce” reports the quantity and cost of material used in Pennsylvania 
for the manufacture of barrel stock, staves, and heading. Raw material for 
both stave and heading is usually purchased in the form of bolts but consider- 
able sawmill waste is saved by being converted into these products. . The 

prices given were not taken from the Census bulletin as they are not com- 
' prised in these statistics. Information concerning them was collected from 
cooperage plants by agents when in the field in connection with the wood- 
using industry investigation, and an average made of them and applied to the 
Census figures. 

The manufacture of cooperage is an industry which rightfully comes within 
the scope of the wood-using industry study because both staves and heading 
are but knocked-down barrels and should be included the same as box shooks 
or other manufactured material which needs only to be assembled to be 
finished. However, owing to the fact that one Bureau of the Federal Gov- 
ernment gathers these statistics, the Forest Service did not deem it ex- 
pedient to seek similar information from the cooperage plants twice in the 
same year. Had the cooperage data been included in the foregoing report, 


203 


this industry, according to quantity consumed, would have stood fourth in 
the list of over 51 industries in Table 3. Thirteen woods are demanded each 
year for staves and heading. They are shown in the order of amounts as 
follows:

PULPWOOD. 


The quantity of wood consumed for making paper pulp in Pennsylvania, 
according to the 1911 Census figures, amounts to over 315,000 cords. It is 
procured in bolt form and is equivalent to more than 158,000,000 board meas- 
ure feet that is annually taken from the forests of the State. Pennsylvania 
is the fifth State in the consumption of wood pulp and stands next to Maine 
in using large quantities of mill and woods waste in this line of manufacture.

HARDWOOD DISTILLATION. 


Beech, birch, and maple are the principal woods consumed in hardwood 
distillation. They have been separated in the following table merely to 
emphasize the kinds used and the quantities are not representative of the 
actual results but were arbitrarily divided in equal amounts for the want of 
more definite information. Besides the above named woods, oaks, hickory, 
chestnut, elm, and ashes were also consumed but in small quantities only. 
Pennsylvania hardwood distillation plants generally employ the destructive 
process. Charcoal, crude wood alcohol, and gray acetate are the principal 
products.

VENEER. 

Over 2,500,000 feet of logs in Pennsylvania were converted into veneer in 
1911. These are not necessarily cut from the forests of the State as veneer 
logs are sought after over a wide territory and are imported from foreign 
countries and manufactured into veneer by mills in easy reach of important 
markets. In Pennsylvania maple was the principal wood consumed, followed 
by beech, yellow poplar, basswood, oak, birch, and cherry, in the order 
named. Spanish cedar was the only foreign wood.
