Planing Mill Products 



The articles which are usually considered as belonging to the 

 planing mill products industry are flooring, ceiling, siding, sheathing, 

 molding, finish, etc. Another line is the product of factories that 

 make doors, sash, blinds, stairwork, etc., which belong to a related 

 industry. The broad line of distinction is that planing mill products, 

 as the term is here used, include articles made for general markets 

 and not for special customers. Flooring is produced without any 

 regard to special jobs or orders. Regular patterns are followed. The 

 same kind is shipped to Maine and to California. It is the same 

 with siding and ceiling. A planing mill is often operated in con- 

 nection with a large sawmill, and handles the lumber of that miU 

 only. The two are sometimes under one roof and one ownership. 

 The largest planing mills of that kind are in states which produce 

 much himlier. Indiana is not in that class, consequently its "plan- 

 ing mill products" are small in comparison with those of some 

 other states. 



In a state without large sawmill operations, but with many small 

 ones, the planing mill is usually a separate affair, not connected 

 with or belonging to any sawmiU. It buys lumber in the open 

 market and manufactures it into commodities which have ready sale. 

 Flooring, ceiling, and siding are staples and are needed everywhere, 

 consequently most planing mills make them. When an order is 

 received it is usually filled from stock on hand. 



About one-fifth of the wood used in this industry in Indiana is 

 home grown, the balance comes from outside regions. Softwoods 

 contribute approximately 42 per cent of the total, hardwoods 58 per 

 cent. -In most cases, flooring is of hardwood or southern yellow pine, 

 and siding of softwoods. Interior finish, as far as it belongs in this 

 industry, is of both hard and softwoods. Molding in Indiana is 

 made of mulberry, cherry and redwood, as well as of the more com- 

 mon woods like oak, red gum and pine. Beech is the cheapest wood 

 listed, and mahogany the most expensive with cherry next. The three 

 far western woods are white pine from Idaho, red cedar from Wash- 

 ington, and redwood from California. The comparatively small 

 amount of eastern white pine used by this industry in Indiana is 

 worthy of note. Not one-fourth as much is reported as of western 

 red cedar, and only one-third as much as of redwood. White pine 

 was once the most popular weatherboarding material in the state; 

 now it is seldom seen there. Loblolly pine is used by this industry 

 in Indiana, but does not show in the table, since it is listed together 

 with shortleaf pine under the commercial name of shortleaf pine.
