CLOTH, HOSIERY BOARDS, ETC. 



Cloth boards, commonly called wrapping boards, upon which to wind woolen 

 and other textile goods, hosiery boards used in stocking factories and stores, 

 hammer boards for beating brass and other sheet metals, and lap boards used 

 by the seamstress, afe the commodities which have been classed under Table 

 57. The largest part of the total was for cloth boards and the species used 

 were loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, yellow poplar, and white pine. The size 

 of cloth boards varies from 6 to 8 inches wide and from 16 to 20 inches long 

 and one-fourth to five-eights of an inch thick. 



Sugar maple supplies the entire demand for hosiery boards or driers. They 

 are made of i inch material which is strong, dense and not liable to 

 roughen up or splinter. Yellow poplar sufficed for sewing or lap boards and 

 for stocking forms. Because maple does not split easily and is strong and 

 hard, it is preferred of all woods for hammer boards. Considerable ma- 

 terial is used in Pennsylvania for the manufacture of ironing and sleeve 

 boards, meat, pastry, and steak boards or planks, but these have been listed 

 and referred to under the industry entitled "Woodenware."
