As the collection of the information relating to the annual forest product 

 necessitated a correspondence with 655 different firms or individuals and the 

 tabulation of the statistics thus obtained, it will be seen that no small amount

The thanks of the Commission are due to the various persons engaged in these 

 industries for their prompt and courteous replies to our request for a statement, 

 their cooperation in this respect enabling us to ascertain definitely the facts
