DIRBCTOET OF MICHIGAN FIRMS WHICH BUY WOOD PRODUCTS "iN THE ROUGH." 



The following list of wood-using firms which buy rough products is 

 supplied for the use of woodlot owners in finding the best markets for 

 their timber. It is based partly on reports received by the Forest Ser- 

 vice within recent years and partly on directories of firms compiled 

 from other sources. The list is as complete as it could be made, with- 

 out, however, including sawmills. These were omitted because of the 

 large number scattered throughout the State, most farmers knowing 

 already those in their immediate vicinity. A number of firms which 

 might buy lumber sawed from farm woodlots are also unavoidably 

 omitted. While the list is as nearly up to date as possible, there are 

 probably a few of the concerns which have ceased operating. 



The list is divided into three parts : the Upper Peninsula, the northern 

 part of the Lower Peninsula, and the southern part of the Lower Penin- 

 sula. In each of these divisions the counties* are given in alphabetical 

 order, and the cities and towns in each county are arranged, also in 

 alphabetical order, beneath the county name. The woods used by each 

 firm are given in the right hand column, so far as they could be learned 

 from the reports submitted. The kind of industry and of wood used are 

 indicated by abbreviations, the explanation of which is given at the head 

 of the table. 



*The location of the different counties is sliown on tlie wood lot area map Ior'1910, page 8.
