MISCELLANEOUS. 



In soliciting information from the various manufacturers concerning the 

 extent of their operations in the consumption of wood, the Forest Service 

 and the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry made assurance that the data 

 would be treated confidentially and not used in the report so as to reveal the 

 identity of the establishments furnishing it. Whenever, therefore, fewer than 

 three factories making similar commodities were entitled to be grouped as an 

 industry, rather than discard the information from the report it was placed 

 under the head "Miscellaneous." 



The nearly seven and a half million feet shown as the total of the table 

 includes considerably over five million of State-grown white pine for matches, 

 more than 100 M feet of beech cut in the State for brewer chips, used in brew- 

 eries to clarify beer, nearly 200 M feet of white ash, Douglas flr, soft 

 maple, and beech for flag poles and shafts, and nearly one-half that amount 

 consisting of spruce, hemlock, and yellow pine for tent poles. Small quan- 

 tities of red cedar were used for oil barrel faucets, and black walnut 

 and Circassian walnut for stocks and fore-ends of bo^ firearms and of air 

 rifles.
