Usage Orange Tough,
Will Bear Great
Stresses

The toughest American wood
is that of the Usage orange,
which is not an orange at all,
but belongs to the nettle fam
lily. This has been proved by
series of tests made by the
United States Forest Service,
but the Indians knew it before
the coming Of the white man,
and it was known to them as
the bow tree, because they used
it for making their finest bows.
Some idea of its strength may
be had from the report made
not long ago, which shows that
a block thirty inches long, and
two inches in cross-section
when bent breaks under a
stress Of $4,000 pounds, its
nearest rival being a variety
Of hickory called monkeynut,
which, when bent by the i'm
pact Of a 10O-pound hammer,
stands a stress Of 1O,52O
pounds.

PRODUCTION | 5
INCREASING
IN j. 5.
From Handicraft Stage to Me-
chanical Era Illustrated in
Plumbing Industry.

In little more than century.
the United States has developed from
a pioneer state to an established
community.
There has been a transition from
the handicraft stage OF limited
production to the mechanical stage
of volume production. At one time
most of the population were en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, then
numbering came, forward, followed
by mining and concentrated mass
production. AS the railroads pushed
their way westward our population
followed. and new pursuits were
taken up.
Specialized production on a large
scale has been the keynote VI
American manufacturing develop.
ment. The only reason this coun.
try can make high-grade products,
priced within the reach Of all. is
because of this specialization and
the development Of natural resources
on a large scale. Not only is the
American manufacturer a quantity
producer. but he il q quality pro-
Queer as we'll. The usual manu-
featured output is neither cheap,
coarse, tawdry or inartistic; nor, Elk.
cept in a limited way, does 1t con.
form to luxury standard. Goods
are made to give :ong, satisfactory
service.
These facts are especially true
of plumbing and heating materials
and appliances. In these particular
fields America leads the world.
Quantity production, development
of natural resources, and a desire
on the part Of the buying public for
service and comfort. has enabled
the manufacturers Of plumbing spc.
cialties to produce quality goods at
a moderate price. The service OF
the modern plumbing dealer cont.
pletes the process whereby the most
modest of American homes can af-
ford complete domestic sanitation.
