The smaller sawmills make a practice of using their own crews for logging 

 while the larger mills customarily contract their logging operations. About 

 ten percent of all mills conduct no logging operations.

Buying Practices — Purchasing Agreement 



When written agreements are used in procuring raw materials, nine-tenths 

 of them are drawn up by the purchaser. As a whole, seven-tenths of the 

 sawmill buyers make verbal agreements only. Among the other wood-using 

 industries, more than half follow the same practice.
