FOREST COMMISSIONERS REPORT. 



shoe shanks are used and a lathe cuts ribbons which are from 

 1-16 to 1-8 inches thick and 3-8 to i inch wide. These ribbons 

 are rolled as taken from the lathe, and each goes next to a ma- 

 chine which sharpens one edge. After leaving this machine the 

 ribbon is rolled again and is kept in a dry room for 10 or 12 

 hours. It is then run through a compressor, which is also a 

 steam-heated drier ; this compresses and thoroughly dries the 

 peg wood, which is then rolled and shipped. In .shoe manufac- 

 turing plants these rolls of pegwood are used in special ma- 

 chines which automatically cut off and drive the separate pegs. 

 The small quantity of aspen shown in the table, was used for 

 shoe and hosiery forms and fillers. The red oak and white 

 elm and part of the sugar maple, yellow birch and beech, were 

 used in the manufacture of shoe heels.
