SHINGLE PRODUCTION, BY STATES. 
Shingle production has decreased about 60 per cent since 1905, 
o\sTQg largely to the introduction of other forms of roofing. Wash- 
ington and Oregon have for many years held the lead in shingle pro- 
duction, and together in 1920 manufactured 83 per cent of the total 
output. (Fig. 16.)
