Striking a Match or Two

Matches are not .by-products. ANY wood
rejected by the match machine goes to the
by-product establishment, and OF these by
products OF the match business may be
mentioned some, such as doors and sashes.
that in some instances form an industry
as important as the match industry itself.
There are many methods of manufactur-
ing matches; there are many different ma
chimes employed in such manufacture.
Nearly every company has machinery spe-
cially adapted to it's own peculiar use, and
employs processes discovered or devised
by its own chemists and mechanics. which
are kept as trade secrets. One OF these
machines has been known to turn out H.
926. 400 matches in one day, boxed and
labeled ready for shipment.
Certain kinds Of matches are shaved with
the grain from sawed blocks, others are
cut both ways by saws. In stll further
varieties the blocks are boiled to make
them cut easily. BY some machines
boiled or steamed log is reyolved on its own
axis, and a shaving, the thickness OF
match, is cut round and round. This shaw
ing is at the same time cut into lengths
and split into match sticks. 1t may be
said that there IL hardly a limit TO the
varieties OF methods employed Round
matches are made by forcing them through
dies.-HarpeTs Weekly

In the making Of the match it is neces-
sary to obtained the best grade Of wood.
No sapwood, no knotty or cross-grsined
timber is utilized by the hundreds OF fac
tories in this country that are busily en-
gagged in turning out this article. The
necessity for the best timber renders II
imperative that many agents be employed
to search out the choicest trees and to see
that none but the best wood goes 10 feed
the match machines. For this reason a
statement Of the number OF cubic feet Of
wood actually converted into matches each
year would give but an inadequate idea
Of the number OF trees consumed by the
industry.
Accordingly. the match manufacturers
are, as a class, as much concerned over
the timber supply as any other whose well
fare depends on the employment OF forest
products,
It is not to be assumed that. by reason
OF the smallness OF matches the makers
thereof never utilize scraps or bits OF wood
left over. The contrary Is the case.
