Story of Lumber, Veneer and Dimension Manufacture Filmed 



The American Hardwood Manufacturers' Association has had six sets 

 of two-reel films prepared, one showing all processes in the manufacture 

 of hardwood lumber and veneers and the other showing the same processes 

 in connection with dimension stock from the tree to loading on the car. 

 including cutting down the tree, cutting it up into lengths, loading it onto 

 cars or other vehicles with skidders and other equipment, unloading of 

 the logs at the mills with derricks, running it through the band mill or 

 veneer machinery, taking it from the plant, piling it on the yards, kiln- 

 drying and loading onto cars as finished products. 



Two of these sets have been furnished to the University of Wisconsin 

 and to the University of California where they are being exhibited not 

 only to the students in these institutions but also to all their subsidiary 

 schools. Two sets will be furnished to that number of universities in the 

 East. One of the other sets will be used within the next few days at the 

 furniture exhibit in Grand Rapids while the other will be displayed at 

 national conventions of manufacturers of hardwood lumlier and forest 

 products as well as consumers thereof. 



The purpose of the films is to show the processes outlined in detail, with 

 a view to producing greater appreciation of the multitudinous things that 

 must be done from the tree to the loading of the car with lumber and also 

 with, a view, notably in the case of dimension stock, to bringing about 

 greater conservation of timber resources through the elimination of waste. 

 The films are educational in a very high degree and require about one 

 hour for their running.
