WOOD-USING INDUSTRIES 



given by a single manufacturer relates to the making of products 

 listed under several different industries. This explains the frequent 

 appearance in the directory of this report of the names of the same 

 manufacturer under more than one industry heading. Several 

 small industries, in which no more than two establishments 

 reported, are grouped together under the caption "Miscellaneous." 



Over $124,000,000 a year is paid by the Ohio wood users for their 

 raw material. Less than 15 percent of this is paid for home-grown 

 woods. This leaves more than $43,000,000 as the sum which Ohio 

 thus pays out each year to other states. In not a few instances this 

 purchase money is expended for material which might be produced 

 in the State and will be if more of the people awake to the impor- 

 tance of a broader and more thorough application of the principles 

 of forestry to the present timber stand in the State. 



Ohio stands nineth in the list of States as to the amount of wood 

 going into final form through the processes of manufacture. The 

 following illustration shows the consumption and also production of 

 rough lumber in the States in which studies similar to this have 

 been completed, arranged in the order of the number of industries 

 which indicates the diversity of manufactured wood products.
