building the principal parts of locomotive cabs. The floors of the cabs are 

 of sugar maple, the bumpers, pilots, and other parts of the engines are 

 made of white oak. 



The annual drain on the forests of the State by the car builders amounts to 

 over 41,000,000 feet. This is less than one-fourth of the total but compared 

 with requirements of other states where the industry is important the quantity 

 of home-grown car material used in Pennsylvania is the largest. Some part 

 of the supply of 20 of the 29 woods were cut in the State. Oak, white pine, 

 hemlock, maple, ash, and beech in the order named as to quantity being the 

 n^ost prominent while the statistics for other woods are as follows:

FURNITURE. 



Pennsylvania in the quantity of wood consumed dbes not compare with a 

 number of other states in the manufacture of furniture, but this industry is 

 one of the oldest in the State and includes in its production the highest 

 grades of furniture and therefore is of considerable economic importance. 

 Furntiure can be divided into two general classes: (1) Articles of utility like 

 refrigerators, kitchen cabinets, provision safes, cupboards, etc. These are 

 not a part of the industry here considered, but like chairs have been pre-
