"Dr. Henry K. Benson ... prepared a treatise ... while he was a commercial agent in the Department of Commerce in 1916, entitled ʻBy-products of the lumber industry' ... This publication became exhausted ... and Doctor Benson has demonstrated his interest in the work of the National Committee on Wood Utilization by offering this manuscript to the Committee for publication. This bulletin brings up to date the data previously published, and discusses on a broader basis many new uses in the field of chemical utilization of wood."--Forword, p.v.
