Statistics on Hardwood Consumption by 

 Industries 



The American Har.lwoo.l Mamilactiiri.-rs ' Association recently made 

 a complete canvass of the hanlwood consuming industries in order to 

 ascertain the cousiimption of hardwoods 1 _v species in each of the forty- 

 five or more principal groups of consumers. The result of that canvass 

 is contained in the table in the adjoining column. In issuing the table 

 the association made the following explanation : 



"We have now made a complete canvass of the consuming industries 

 and the number of replies received represent alxnit 25.4 per cent of the 

 total number of firms canvassed, and the revised table will be found on 

 these pages. 



' ' This information was comi iled from data furnished by individual 

 firms engaged in these various branches of the wood using industry on 

 questionnaires sent out by the Trade Extension Dejiartment. 



"The first column shows the various industries; following this the 

 woods are named in alphabetical oriler, and the quantity each grouji 

 consumes annually is listed under the respective cohmins. The third 

 from the last column shows the number of concerns on the mailing list, 

 the next colunm the number of replies received, and the last column the 

 percentage of re[lies received. For instance, auto lody manufacturers 

 have reported as follows:

 body manufacturers reported approximately annual consunqtion of 

 hardwoods for the year of 1920 as 168,568,000 feet, which is 7.1 per 

 cent of total amount consumed. 



"At the bottom of each column is shown the total of each species 

 annually consumed by each of the forty-five groups anrl the per- 

 centage this represents of the total of all woods. 



"While these statistics represent one fourth of the total n\iml cr 

 of concerns canvassed, the total amount of hardwoods consunu'il in 

 this report represents 44.7 per cent of the total amount of hardwoods 

 produced in the United States, as is shown by the U. S. Deiiartmi'ut
