Growth of Wall Board Industry.

While people EsnsrAlly have realized that ths use Of wall board has increased greatly, few are aware of the remarkable growth made by the industry. While wall board ia not made from wood re- fuse, it exemplifies one of the products which may be made from wood and used to moot excellent advantage in building In 1908 approximately 5S0,0O0 square feet of wall board, valued at SIS, 900, was produced and marketed. In 1919 the production is estimated at $50, ,OOO, 900 square feet Of Rn approximate value of R22, ,OOO, 900. Expressed another way, the value of wall board produced since 1906 has increased I,5Oo per cent. The reason. for this remarkable growth is clearly ex xprsssed by an official of the Upson Co, who said
 ''The wonderful growth of the wall board industry is due to the fact that a gsOd, dependable wall board meets an existing demand It offers for every type of building, new or old, lining that cannot crack, chip or fall like plas- ter, lining that can be painted in ac- eordAnee with the modern way of finish ing interiors, thereby affording beautiful washable Walls and ceilings that can bel kept Bpotleasly clean and fresh"
