THE TooTHPIck INDUSTRY.
One County in Maine Supplies Ninety
Per Cent. Of the Product
Used in America.

1.-THE fame of American manufacturers
may be said to be in everybody s mouth, =
said the representative OF a Maine tooth-
pick factory. up in Maine, and partic.
ularly in Franklin county's wide
stretches of white birch, are the mills
that supply 80 per cent. of the to0thpicks
used in this country.
Poplar wood Is sometimes used; but
the white birch, on account Of Its pliabil-
ity and forest odor, gives a practical
monopoly to Maine forests. During the
spring over 100 men are employed on
machines each OF which can clip out al
most million a day of the sharp
wooden slivers that help to keep down
dentists bills.
What are termed the fancy or orange
wood toothpicks are not made in this
country, nor could we duplicate them at
four times the price. In the country dis
tricts Of Spain and Portugal these picks
are sharpened like needles and smoothed
iaboriously by young girls who are paid
the munificent sum of I'VE cents day.
"The japanese toothpick q probably
the best and is In increasing demand.
This toothpick is fashioned from very
flne reed; and, while delicate and thin
as tissue paper, 1t Is stronger and more
pliabie than our clumsy product
MY experience teaches that the
American habit Of chewing toothpick
on the street and elsewhere Is decadent.
However, without this gratuitous adver-
Using, the demand Is constant. IN. Y.
