Enough lumber to cover
Pennsylvania, New York,
and' New Jersey with a solid
one-inch icof—that’s the a
mount of potential lumber
now standing in Pennsylvan
ia’s commercial forrests. And
it's no wonder there’s so
much lumber in Penn’s
Woods when we consider
that forests are growing on
moie than half (52 7 per
cent) of the 28,829,000 acres
in the Keystone State.
Although Pennsylvania is
no longer the nation’s lead
ing lumber producing state,
as it was for many years
during the 19th Century, its
sylvan resources still make
a substantial contribution to
the economy and industry of
the Commonwealth The for

Pennsylvania provide full
time jobs for nearly 82,000
persons with payrolls a
mounting to almost 340 mil
lion dollars a year.
Lumber production in the
state which has been rising
steadily in recent years now
stands at about 560 million
board feet a year. High qua
lity hardwoods such as
cherry, ash and maple ac
count for a sizeable portion
of the annual yield from
Penn’s Woods and are eager
ly sought by manufacturers
of furniture, sporting goods,
and other products requiring
high grade lumber.
In all, some 3,000 manu
facturing establishments, -lo
cated in the state’s 67 coun
ties, use wood as their raw
material, not to mention the
demands for Pennsylvania
lumber from other states To
produce this lumber, there
are some 1800 sawmills in
every county except Phila
delphia, with a high of 79
mills in Fayette County.
Pennsylvania, which now
ranks seventh among the
states in production of paper
and paperboard, was the
birthplace of papermaking
in America the nation’s
first papermill was built at
Roxborough, now a part of
Philadelphia in 1690 Today
there are 57 primary paper
and pulp mills in the Com
monwealth and 239 mills
that make paper and paper
board into consumer pro
ducts such as towels, nap
kins, paper cups and the like
