CHICAGO'S WOOD INDUSTRIES

till- fact that it is the Rrcatest col- r 



li ^linc and distributinR point in llu- Q 



i.iintry for all kinds of lumber. | 



1 li.it wliicli is shipped to ChlcaRo in I 



liu- muKh does not all co out in the g 



same form, nor is it all used in the i 



city as rough lumber. Its further I; 



manufacture constitutes a large in- I 



dustry, or several industries. Plan- | 



iuR mills and factories of various " 

 kinds work the rough lumber into 

 commodities before it reaches the 

 final user. 



Chicago factories tak*/ 63 per 

 cent of all the lumber going to fac- 

 tories in the whole state of Illinois. 

 That is. more than three-fifths of 

 all the articles made of wood in the - 

 state are made in Chicago. The | 

 ; total factory use of wood in the state | 

 I is 1,781,536.120 feet a year, and § 

 I of this amount. Chicago takes | 

 I 1.116,855,120 feet. g 



I The total receipts per annum of E 



j lumber of all kinds in Chicago is ap- g 



j pro-ximately two and a half billion a 



I feet. About 4 3 per cent of this 



I passes through factories before the 



I final consumer gets it. The remain- 



I ing 5 7 per cent is either reshinped or 



", is used as rough lumber in the city. 



The Chicago factories pay an- 

 I nually $31,975,688 for woods used 

 I by them. The figures vary to some 

 I extent from year to year, depending r 

 g upon the condition of business, but p 

 i the latest total was the sum given -' 

 i above. That is an average price of 

 I S28.73 a thousand feet for all the 

 j factory lumber. The average price 

 I paid per thousand feet when the en- 

 tire state is considered, is S28.76, S 

 which is almost identical with the | 

 average paid in the city. I 



The species going to city factories P 

 number 71. according to the list 

 compiled by Roger E. Simmons in 

 his study of Chicago's wood-using 

 industries. 



j Twenty of these woods are foreign 

 I and 51 grown in the United States; 



but the total amount of foreign 1 



woods demanded by the city fac- | 



i tories is relatively small. Twenty- f 



I two of the woods are soft woods [ 



I and the remainder belong in the I 



i hardwood class. I
