Table 46 Concluded. 



In the consumption of wood four classes of factories in Pennsylvania lead 

 all other states: brushes, patterns and flasks, toys, and mine equipment; 

 in seven others the State stood second; car construction, printing material, 

 caskets and coffins, laundry appliances, playground equipment, machine 

 construction, and tobacco pipes. The State was third in box making and 

 the manufacture of wooden clock cases. Excelsior factories, manufacturers 

 of insulator pins and brackets, and the makers of butcher blocks and skewers 

 were the only industries procuring all of their wood from the forests of 

 the State. Nineteen others use a larger amount of State-grown than shipped- 

 in material, leaving 29 that find the major portion of their wood supply out 

 of the State, every industry reported the purchase of some Pennsylvania 

 wood. It is surprising that the box makers, who use only low grades, used 

 more shipped-in material than any other industry, while on the other hand, 

 the handle makers, who usually seek their raw material over a wide extent 

 of territory, procured considerably over two-thirds of their needs within 

 the State. 



Nearly $32,500,000 are annually expended by the Pennsylvania wood users 

 for raw material. Not over 20 per cent, of this is paid for home-grown woods,
