OFFICE AND STORE FIXTURES 



Manufacturers of store and office 

 fixtures in Illinois consume annually 

 21,068,000 feet of lumber, and 

 more than three-fourths of it is 

 worked in Chicago. 



This industry calls for much high- 

 class material, and about ninety per 

 cent is hardwood and the balance is 

 softwood. The soft woods reported 

 are white pine, longleaf pine, cy- 

 press, shortleaf pine, Sitka spruce, 

 black spruce, Norway pine, and red 

 cedar — eight in all. There are 

 twenty-five hardwoods listed in this 

 industry. The most important hard- 

 woods, with the yearly use of each 

 for fixture manufacturing in Chi- 

 cago, are the following: 



IfardM'Ood, Annual use — feet. 



White oak 5,054,000 



Birch 2,757,500 



Poplar 2,743,000 



Red oak 2,416,500 



Chestnut 995,000 



Basswood 784,500 



Mahogany 726,000 



White elm 5 79,000 



Sugar maple 561,000 



Red gum 451,000 



Cottonwood 384,000 



Sycamore 25 5,000 



Rock elm 210,000 



Soft maple 134,000 



Ash 118,000 



Black walnut 51,000 



Cherry 41,000 



Butternut 26,000 



Tupelo 16,000 



Hackberry 6,000 



Manufacturers of fixtures make 

 careful selection of woods, for the 

 work is high class. Here are seen 

 some of the finest figured woods 

 that can be procured, and the fin- 

 isher does his best work in polish- 

 ing and staining the panels, columns 

 and tops intended for show. 



Veneers are in much use as out- 

 side parts, while frames and con- 

 cealed parts are of cheaper woods, 

 but all must be of good quality and 

 well seasoned. Checking and warp- 

 ing are ca,refully guarded against. 



The industry includes show cases, 

 counters, fixed desks, tables, and 

 seats; partitions to separate the com- 

 partments or cages of large offices; 

 shelving and cabinets for stores; 

 bars for saloons; ticket racks for 

 railroad offices; and many fixtures of 

 a similar kind. 



Fixtures differ from interior finish 

 in that they may be removed with- 

 out seriously marring the room; 

 but they cannot be removed as read- 

 ily as furniture.
