2 facture of musical instruments in M 

 Chicago than in any other city of i 

 this country. Only one state, New i 

 York, makes more instruments than | 

 are produced ift the single city of § 

 Chicago. Massachusetts, famous for i 

 its musical instruments, manufac- 1 

 tures only two-thirds as many as i 

 Chicago. These comparisons are | 

 based on the amounts of lumber i 

 consumed and not on an actual 1 

 count of instrunients. This industry i 

 requires yearly 260,000.000 feet of | 

 lumber in the United States. The I 

 requirements of certain states are i 

 listed below; 1

The woocl demanded yearly by i 

 nnanufacturers of musical instru- 1 

 ments in Chicago alone totals 36,- I 

 •5 13,500 feet. That exceeds 14 per j 

 cent of the whole industry in the 1 

 United States, while Chicago's pop- = 

 ulation is less than three per cent of i 

 the whole country. Illinois, of 1 

 which Chicago is the commercial i 

 metropolis, produces more musical 1 

 instruments than any other state. | 

 Persons who have not investigated i 

 the matter would not likely guess i 

 what two woods are most largely 1 

 used in the manufacture of musical 1 

 instruments. Maple leads all and 

 Chestnut is a close second: but these 

 woods often furnish interior parts 

 and are not visible in the finished 

 instrument. A list of the principal 

 woods going to the piano and organ 

 factories in Illinois is here given:
