Arkansas and New Hampshire supply us
with most Of our oilstones and scythe stones.

stones came from Ohio last year. but we also
found 1t needful to import nearly 800 900

OF grinding apparatus are gradually replacing
them. New York State produces most Of
them. but some are taken from Pennsylvania

Our State provides most OF the quartz
for sapdpaper and some garnet, but New
