INDUSTRIES. 



The kinds of wood the Pennsylvania manufacturers demand, their botanical 

 relations, their sources, and their qualities, have been discussed in Part I. 

 In Part II are considered the factories using the different woods, and the 

 processes of manufacture that they employ; the extent to which they call 

 for them, and the uses to which they put them according to inherent qualities. 

 For convenience the discussions are divided into classes called industries and 

 timse making similar or closely related commodities are grouped together. 

 In Pennsylvania there are 51, and Table 46 following shows how the more 

 than 1,100,000,000 feet of lumber yearly manufactured in the State is ap- 

 portioned among them. The largest industry requires nearly 280,000,000 feet 

 of raw material, 14 others more than 10,000,000 each, and the smallest less 

 than 100,000. A few other industries which could not be separated because 

 the factories composing them numbered fewer than three, have been grouped 

 in one industry under miscellaneous. To maintain uniformity the same order 

 in classification as has been adopted to other states has been followed in 

 Pennsylvania. Their order has been arranged according to the total quantity 

 used and is as follows:
