SHINGLE PRODUCTION, BY STATES. 



Shingle production has decreased about 60 per cent since 1905, 

 owing largely to the introduction of other forms of roofing. Wash- 

 ington and Oregon have for many years held the lead in shingle pro- 

 duction, and together in 1920 manufactured 83 per cent of the total 

 output. (Fig. 16.)
