Twine Made 

 from Wood 

 Waste 



A Variety of 

 Novel Uses 

 for Wood 

 Waste 



Southern pine waste a twine which would replace sisal, there is 

 enough business in that line alone to keep thirty good sized mills 

 running day and night throughout the year. That is only one article 

 that could be substituted for the twine, the raw material of which 

 now comes entirely from Mexico. 



Here is another product, a pine product, which has been used 

 for wrapping wool. That is one hundred per cent wood. Ninety 

 per cent of the wool that is now being rolled west of the Mis- 

 sissippi is baled with twine made absolutely from wood. 



Then we are making rope. This particular piece of log- 

 line was trailed through the seas for eight thousand miles. Here 

 is a rope made entirely I believe it is sash cord instead of 

 being made from cotton, this has been made out of wood. 



Here is a different kind of pine product \voven. We have 

 been commercially showing girls how to make baskets and other 

 household articles, rather artistically. 



Here is another product made entirely out of wood. The 

 idea is to fill that up with milk and after using it you can throw 

 the bottle away. The glass milk bottle is a very big item to the 

 man who wants to get away from it. 



There is a sausage. The casing is made entirely out of wood 

 100 per cent wood. 



Here is a brand new product that has only been on the 

 market about a year. It does not look much like wood, does it? 

 That product is being made to take the place of celluloid in the 

 manufacture of photographic films ; also to wrap up candy. Very 

 interesting. All wood. 



There is another product that is all wood, from here to here 

 (a stocking). Here is cotton, and here is cotton, and here is cot- 

 ton, but the rest is all wood. It is what is known as artificial 

 silk. Maybe some of you have them on now. They are a good 

 article. 



Here is a silk cloth, made of two different kinds of wood 

 100 per cent wood. 



A Voice: Where is that manufactured? 



Mr. Weiss: Pennsylvania. 



A Voice: What kind of wood is the sock made of? 



Mr. Weiss: Made out of any kind of wood, but they are 

 using mostly hemlock and spruce, because most of those plants 

 are up in the north.
