of the growth of this industry lies, of course, principally in the fact that
it represents a higher stage of manufacture than its older sister-industry,
the saw-mills industry, with which, to a certain degree, it competes for the
supplies of raw material, and which, possibly, it will soon outdistance.
But even in this respect, its development represents a fact of immense
importance, as it has made possible the economic utilization of timber for
