facture of musical instruments in 

 Chicago than in any other city of 

 this country. Only one state. New 

 York, makes more instruments than 

 are produced in the single city of 

 Chicago. Massachusetts, famous for 

 its musical instrunients, manufac- 

 tures only two-thirds as many as 

 Chicago. These comparisons are 

 based on the amounts of lumber 

 consumed and not on an actual 

 count of instruments. This industry 

 requires yearly 260,000,000 feet of 

 lumber in the United States. The 

 requirements of certain states are 

 listed below: 



State Feet Yearly 



Illinois 68,713,000 



New York 58,816,000 



Massachusetts 27,463,000 



Michigan 12.274,000 



Kentucky 8.643,000 



Ohio 8,583,000 



Maryland 1.559.000 



Wisconsin 1,534,000 



North Carolina 1,200.000 



Missouri 530.000 



Virginia 280,000 



Iowa 89,000 



The wood demanded yearly by 

 manufacturers of musical instru- 

 ments in Chicago alone totals 36,- 

 913,500 feet. That exceeds 14 per 

 cent of the whole industry in the 

 United States, while Chicago's pop- 

 ulation is less than three per cent of 

 the whole country. Illinois, of 

 which Chicago is the commercial 

 metropolis, produces more musical 

 instruments than any other state. 



Persons who have not investigated 

 the matter would not likely guess 

 what two woods are most largely 

 used in the manufacture of musical 

 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: 



Wood Feet Used Yearly 



Maple i7,onn,non 



Chestnut 13,290.000 



Elm 9.014000 



Yellow poplar 8,291,000
