holding nails without splitting. There has been a pronounced 
decrease in the amount of material consumed since 1912, 
although the number of reporting firms is the same. This 
industry, though small, offers a good opportunity for the 
utilization of small and otherwise waste pieces of lumber. 
Blocks of the more expensive woods, such as cherry and hard 
maple, can sometimes be worked out of stock which has been 
discarded by another factory.
