AMERICAN W0ODENWARE.
Pretty Much All the World Supplied Nova
DAYS From the United States.

American woodenware is row eA-
ported in greater quantities thah ever
before. but it has for long ulIle
been sent to many parts of the WORTH
This country has in greater Abundance
than is elsewhere found the Wood Vi
which these articles are made, anu u
has developed and constantly impfoV-
ed the ingenious machines with winch
these things are produced ut low COST
and so this country is the centre DIS
it is the natural home of the Wooueh-
ware trade. Canada has the Woou'
and it makes and exports some WOOD
enware, but it has neither the ma
chinery nor the trade facilities to en-
ableable it to compete with the Unlted
States in these wares. There are
New York city houses that have Gus
toners all around the world.
American woodenware is exported
to England and to Germany and other
Continental countries; it is now md
ing its way into Russia, which is
new market. 1t goes to the West In
dies. and to South America, to CHINA,
Australia, New Zealand, India, South
African fact, to pretty much all
lands in which people live in more
or less civilized manner. These things
are all the time going from here by
steam across the Atlantic 10 various
European centres for distribution from
them, and one wOulu scarcely hnd
deep water ship sailing out OF this
port for any part of the world that did
enware aboard.
The things thus exported include a
great many simple and homely arti-
cles of common use-for instance,
clothes pins. Anywhere in the world
no matter where, the chances are
that the clothes pins used in hanging
out clothes were made in America
There are exported from this coun-
try many wooden pals of one sort and
another and chopping trays and
bowls, and folding chairs, and many
refrigerators, some of these being
made so that they can be knocked
down-that is, taken apart and packed
closely together to save bulk and cost
of freight in shipment. Many step
ladders are exported, these also be-
ing knocked down, and there are ex-
ported such things as pastry boards
gnd ironing boards. There are eX-
ported a great number of American
school states, these being not exactly
woodenware, to be sure, but still hav-
ing wooden frames. In states we come
into competition with Germany, Amer
lea. however, holding it's own. States
are exported from here to countries
that might never be thought of of
places to which they would be sent;
for instance, large numbers are sold
in BurInah.
Ice cream freezers of American
manufacture are sold all over the
world, wherever ice, either natural or
artificial, is used. The ice cream eaten
in Calcutta or in Melbourne or in any
other city, or country, Europe includ-
ed, would be more than likely to have
been made in an American freezer.
The export of American washtubs is
chiefly to the Argentine Republic, and
around up the west coast of South
America to the Latn-American coun-
tries; elsewhere in the world the Eng
lish are selling galvanized sheet iron
tub that We don't seem to have quite
met yet; but we sell all the world
washboards.
We export American brooms to vari-
Gus countries, and we send broom
handles to Australia. American
churns of one sort and another are
sold wherever churns are used. Of
woOdenware in general, indeed, this
country is the great source of supply
for the civilized world.-New York
