Let's look ahead 



to 1975... 

 and to 2000 



More People 



In 1952, when we took a look at how 

 much timber we used, our population 

 was 157 million. Today it is close to 

 175 million. By 1975, our Nation may 

 have 215 million and by 2000, 275 mil- 

 lion or even as many as 360 million 

 people. 



More Goods and Services 



The national output of goods and serv- 

 ices — gross national product — rose 

 from 100 billion dollars in 1900, figured 

 at the present-day value of the dollar, 

 to 354 billion dollars in 1952. This was 

 a threefold increase in 50 years. A 

 gross national product of 630 billion is 

 expected by 1975 and by 2000 it may 

 reach 1,200 billion dollars or more. 



More Timber Products NeedecJ 



Just think! More than 100 million ad- 

 ditional people by 2000 — all to be pro- 

 vided for in a continually expanding 

 economy. More and more lumber, 

 pulpwood, and other timber products 

 will be needed in the years ahead. 

 The question is — how much more?
