WOOD-USING INDUSTRIES 



MISCELLANEOUS 



When collecting 1 the data for this report the Forest Service 

 assured the Ohio manufacturers that in the compilations, informa- 

 tion of individual concerns would not be revealed. To make this 

 rule effective when there were less than three manufacturers making- 

 the same or similar commodities, they were not grouped into a 

 separate industry as was the case when there were three or more. 

 Instead of discarding the data in these cases the reports were 

 grouped indiscriminately under a general heading-. "Miscellaneous" 

 and Table LXX following presents these statistics.

Artificial limb manufacturers used only one wood, willow, and 

 the entire supply was cut outside the State. Umbrella racks made 

 mostly of metal have wooden frames; ash and white oak supplied the 

 material. Hard maple answered for looms of silk and textile mills, 

 the sapwood of red gum for curtain poles and black walnut for gun 

 stocks. The making 1 of coffee mills required yellow poplar and red 

 gum, and money drawers, yellow poplar and white oak, the former 

 for the inside compartments, and the latter for the exterior. In the 

 breweries to clarify and filter beer, chips cut from beech are fre- 

 quently employed and are called brewers' shavings. The manufac- 

 ture of these in Ohio is not a large industry but is worthy of mention.
