The information assembled in this bulletin can be put to practical use by — 
‘those who have forest products for sale and desire to find an advantageous ws. 
market. 
“Let us suppose, for instance, that you have a quantity of ash for sale and 
desire to correspond with manufacturers who use ash and are likely to pay good 
“prices, First, turn to the list in the back of the bulletin, entitled “ Kinds of 
number of articles made from ash are listed. You note that ash is nse large 
for motor vehicles, handles, vehicle parts, and toys. ; 
Consulting the index you note that the tables numbered 13, 18, 23 and 26 
paid for material were $140.77, $49.67, $114.48 and $51 respectively. The 
makers of motor vehicles and vehicle parts paid more for the high grade of 
ash consumed than makers of handles and toys, whose uses are much less _ 
exacting, and who can utilize smaller dimensions. If the stock is strictly high 
~ grade, you may then determine to address the manufacturers of motor vehicles. 
Accordingly, you turn to the ‘Directory of Manufacturers,’ which is the last — 
section in the yolume, and find under the heading ‘‘ Motor Vehicles” the ‘various. 
- manufacturers listed alphabetically by towns and counties. If correspondence — 
with those who are in the vicinity does not find a market for the ash, other 
firms farther away may be addressed or the wood offered to other industries. et 
If, for any reason, an owner of forest products is unsuccessful in finding a 
market with the help of this directory, he is invited to correspond with the 
New York S*ate College of Forestry at Syracuse. The College maintains an 
exchange berween producers and consumers and will gladly try to assist in 
finding a market for forest products. 
Producers should recollect that the prices in this bulletin are for 1919, an 
while they are of some help for making comparisons in that year, the present 
prices are much less..- It-should also be recollected that high prices are only 
obtained for well manufactured and properly graded stock. Usually, also. 
purchasers prefer to buy larger rather than smaller lots of stock, other things 
being equal. 
Wood-using plants which have large amounts of waste may find a profitable - x 
_ market for this material in factories which use small pieces for toys, small 
handles, backs of brushes and mirrors, novelties, furniture parts, souvenirs, 
small box material, chair stock, and vehicle parts. Conyersely,. plants which 
can use small-sized stock may be able to make advantageous purchases of waste. 
from plants which work upon larger stock of the same kinds of wood.
