74 Wood-Using Industries of New York 
catch up with the demand for new ears. This statement indi- 
cates that in the near future the car industries will be calling 
for a greater quantity of wood than was used in 1919. 
SHADE AND Map Roxiers 
Table 10 refers to curtain poles, rug poles, map rollers, and 
shade rollers, the consumption of such articles being 29,946,000 
feet annually. The manufacture of shade rollers is a special 
line, and several firms are engaged exclusively in the produc- 
tion of this article. A large part of the white pine reported 
is used by such establishments. Some plants are equipped only 
to manufacture shade roller blanks bored and fitted to receive 
the spring. The dimensions of shade rollers used in large 
quantities are 15/16 of an inch in diameter and 5614 to 42 
inches in length, bored in one end to a depth of 9 inches to 
receive the spring and chamfered on the same end to receive 
the ferrule. The raw material is largely shipped in from 
Canada and is well-seasoned and kiln-dried white pine. Some 
of the rollers are made of two pieces and joined together with a 
plug splice which is, of course, glued. Local manufacturers 
have for years reported a scarcity of suitable clear stock. 
There is no reason why the clear, soft, light, white, nonresin- 
ous, workable white pine of New York’s forests should not 
supply all their needs, if it were always available in sufficient 
quantities.
