The L. H. ,Wieble Company, Inc.
OF Hagerstown, was the second conn
pany to begin the manufacture OF
lnsulator pins. The plant has been
In operation now for over thirty
years and at the present time is pro-
ducing insulator pins, brackets.
wooden bushings for metal insulat-
ors, and pole steps. The insulator
pins and bushings are made from
black locust exclusively. Brackets
and steps are made from white ana
black oak. At the present time the
industry uses in the neighborhood OF
ten cords Of locust wood in an aver
age working day, and five cords OF
oak. Wood is brought to the yard
either by truck or by railroad in
four-foot lengths. The locust must
be reasonably clear and free from
defect. Wormy locust cannot be
used. The bilts are first run
through the circular saw, which cuts
them into two-foot fiitches. AS only
the heartwood is used in the pin
manufacturing an attempt is made to
remove all Of the sapwood on the
slab. The locust is sawed into two
inch stock on the head-saw. Fol.
lowing this operation it is cut into
pieces about one-foot long, then re-
sawed into blocks about Xxx inches
to l foot. The blocks are rum
through wood lathe to produce the
pin. It is then ready for use.
Brackets are produced in much the
same way.
Two other plants are operated by
L. H. Wieble Company, one in vir-
GINA and one in Tennessee. The
Maryland plant is, however, the orig
inal plant Of the Company. At the
present about forty men are employ
ed at the Hagerstown plant. II the
forests of Western Maryland were
fully productive, all of the towns or
that section of the State would have
from one to several similar indus
tries operating on permanent basis.
1t is interesting to note that while
stumpage value of the locust and the
oak used daily in the plant would
not amount to more than $500,
more than fifty men are employed in
harvesting the wood, bringing it to
the factory, manufacturing the pro-
Duct, and that the value of the pro-
duct produced probably amounts to
twenty times the value of the stump
age. The forest is the mother of in
dustry, and productive forests at
tract industry, provide an outlet for
local capital. supply labor for many
hands, and in the end produce a
prosperous community.
