Excerpt from Wood-Using Industries of South Carolina Industries of the State of South Carolina. A portion of the material was collected by correspondence with the manufacturers and part was secured by personal visits and study at the fac tories. Representatives of both the Forest Service and of' the State were engaged in the fieldwork. The statistics given relate to the twelve calendar months of 1912. The work was done in accordance with the plan followed by the Forest Service in preparing similar reports for other States. It contains data showing the kinds and quantities of the various woods employed by manufacturers, and whether they are pro cured within the State or outside; the particular products made, and general information regarding methods of manufacture; the numerous uses found for the different woods; and the cost, or price, of the various kinds of wood delivered as rough lumber at the factories. This report gives the results of the first comprehensive attempt ever made in the Palmetto State to ascertain the character and scope of the industries which employ wood as raw material and reduce it to finished products. It is not possible, therefore, to compare present. Figures with equivalent data for earlier years and thereby measure the progress made. But it is generally known that although the supply of timber is decreasing, the methods of using it are improving.
