FORESTRY BRANCH BULLETIN No. 63 



The vehicle industry in Quebec used about one-third of the quantity of 

 wood material used for that purpose in Ontario, but the manufacturers of 

 Ontario buy 42 per cent of their raw material outside of that province while 

 those of Quebec buy only 3 per cent outside of their province. 



The average price, $30.50 per thousand feet board measure, paid for 

 wood by the vehicle manufacturers is sixth on the list. A good deal of the 

 material is purchased in the form of round logs. 



The field of trade of the industry is mostly local, but it extends to most 

 of the Canadian provinces, especially to the Maritime Provinces. 



TABLE 22 WOODENWARE 



Under this heading are included tubs, wooden vessels, bowls, etc. This 

 industry comes eighteenth on the list. Its wood consumption is reported to 

 be 1,254,000 feet board measure, or 0-2 per cent of the total. 



The material used was all purchased in Quebec at an average price of 

 $14.21 per thousand feet board measure, the third lowest price paid by any 

 industry. 



Five kinds of wood are given, balsam fir heading the list and forming 

 over one-half of the total wood consumed. 



Balsam fir, spruce, and pine were used chiefly for tubs and pails, maple 

 for bowls and bread-boards, and basswood for different kinds of wooden utensils. 



Birch has not been reported, although there is no doubt that the wooden- 

 ware industry uses a comparatively large quantity of birch. 



TABLE 23 WOOD-PULP 



*Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
