Gloves. The manufacture of gloves is an industry of old standing in Skåne,
whence the name Skåne gloves. Lamb-skins and goat-skins are used almost
exclusively for glove-making. The so-called gants de Suède are a special sort
of shammy-leather gloves with the flesh-side of the skin outermost. Elk, reindeer,
and buck-skins are also employed for gloves. The chief seats of the glove-making
industry in Sweden are Malmö, Lund, and Hälsingborg. Particulars are shown
in Table 86; the value for the last 13 years approaches 1 million kronor
yearly; in 1912, 490 000 pairs were made. The imports in 1913 were of the
value of 266 000 kronor and the export negligible.
According to Table 86 the fur factories show a considerable productive value,
4 million kr. during the last few years. To this must be added an import of
furs for about 5’8 million kronor and an export of 4’o millions for 1912 (see
Table 84 above). The imports come chiefly from Finland, Germany (transit
goods), and Denmark, the exports go chiefly to Norway, Germany and Finland.
The value of the manufactures in the saddle trade was 692 000 kronor in
1912, that of brusli-making 1’5 millions, leather strap factories 918 000 kr. and
other manufactures comprised in the above group, 1 410 000 kronor.
4. OILS, TAR, INDIA-RUBBER AND ALLIED
COMMODITIES.
In this section a distinction is made between the industries which
produce the raw material and those which refine and manufacture it.
The totals in 1912 show, in each case, the following figures:
Factories Workmen Value of production
