INDUSTRY

TURPENTINE INDUSTRY -
Recent talk and newspaper stories
on the turpentine industry in this
section Of North Carolina give rise
to the possibility of a revival of
the industry. But it is extremely
doubtful, if Wilmington ever again
will see the industry at near the
level that old timers can recall.
The talk does, though, bring
back to the mind of many the
days in the 1905 when the tur-
pentine industry flourished. One o.
those is C. c. Chadbourn, Ais
South Front street.
Chadbourn remembers the time
when Wilmington was the largest
naval store market for turpentine
in the world. Cid biographies
taught that in the year 1885 there
was shipped from this port 344,-
713 barrels of rosin, 70,012 barrles
of spirits of turpentine, 65,874 bar
rels Of tar and 43 ,701 barrles OF
crude turpentine.
The tar, pitch and turpentine
we're all products of the Long Leaf
pine tree. But as that timber was
cut. the receipts of the naval
stores became less and less until
finally there were no longer Long
Leaf pine large enough for mar

ket for turpentine.
