“Superior Pure Product Co., has in
the form of a neat and attractive
folder made of the product of their
'vast forest which certainly neatly
illustratesfone of the greatest uses
that can be mede of the pine trees
of. this section. The company has
invested over a million dollars in
more than two hundred thousand

Their stock holders are also in |
tertested in paint and paper fac-‘
torizs, and itis bcgued that even
tually the pulps will be utilized in,
paper making, , .
It s been oniy 4 tew years ago
that the meat packers wendered
what they would do with thegreat
waste, and after experiments
_every thingeven to the heir of the
‘hog was made use of. .
It is only a matler of a few short
“years.until our pine forest are go

not consideréd 'as beiny a very
useful part of the trees, except in
reproduction of pine forests. °
In quiries have been made of
the Georgia Forest service cou
cerning available supplies of l
timber for establishing one or
more paper mills in the south-1

have Leen asked for detailed in
formation as to wood available
Mill cperators have been question
ed as to amount of siding and
other waste material which could
be obtained.
State Forester Lufburrow is of
the opinion that the South is tu
be one of the main sources of
wood pulp of the future for making
pader, rayon and other cellolose
procduct, and says that nowhere
else in the country can wood be
grown as rapidly as with pine in
the pine belt of the South.
