Longleaf and shortleaf pine bring about the same price, being 

 higher than that of loblolly. As was pointed out on a former 

 page, these three pines are not usually separated in local lumber 

 transactions, and the figures presented in Table 2 for the sepa- 

 rate species are merely estimates based upon the best available 

 data. 



TABLK 2. PLANING MILL PRODUCTS. 



SASH, DOORS, BLINDS AND GENERAL MILLWORK 



Millwork includes a miscellaneous group of articles, of which 

 doors, sash, and blinds are the most important. Usually one or 

 two of these products constitute the bulk of the output from any 

 single factory. Among the principal things included are stair- 

 work, (including newel posts, balusters, railing and steps) ; 

 interior trim and finish, (consisting in part of molding, brackets, 

 panels, chairboards, baseboards, capitals, ornaments, and shelv- 

 ing) ; and porch work, (including columns, spindles, ptosts, rail- 

 ing, and lattice). The products included in Table 3 and in 

 Table 2 overlap to some extent, but the main distinguishing 

 features are clear enough. The flooring, ceiling and siding in 

 Table 2 are made according to general patterns and are not 

 usually manufactured for particular buyers or markets; much 

 of the millwork represented in Table 3, however, is made to 

 order. Machines for making these products must be designed for 

 a greater variety of work than the simple ones in a planing mill 

 which makes only a few commodities.
