manufacture has already induced the general planing mill located, 

 as in Ohio, in nearly eyery city and town to abandon the making- of 

 these products because they can be bought in the open market more 

 advantageously than they can be manufactured in small quantities. 

 Many of the operators grouped under this industry, therefore, make 

 sash, doors and blinds only in special sizes, while most of the material 

 they used went for building purposes, known in trade as general 

 mill work. The tendency to manufacture building materials close 

 to the source of supply of raw material, in other words, close to the 

 sawmills, is largely on the increase and it is well inasmuch as it 

 undoubtedly' makes for economy for all concerned, including the 

 consumer. The available statistics showing the kinds of wood used 

 in the order of their importance as to quantity are presented in the 

 following table.
