which Inundated a large portion of the

Had it not been for thla and other draw*

Before much wav known of the proces*
of dl#tilling the product In this country
the farmers sold the crude gum from the
trees, which was packed In barrel* and
ihlpped to Kngland for distilling. In about
he same kind of package' in which roams
ire shipped at present. In those day# the
profit* to Is* derived later from the more
intelligent handling of naval afore# was a
transient dream, and was probably not
realised any more then than were the
manifold uses to w hich th** electrical cur- !
rent wj# to Ik- put. While the exact time
is not known. l Is said to have been
many year# before the American turpen
tine farmer four*! that greater profits
were In store for bin* by distil.lng at home
In place of sending the gum abroad, and as
a result the wily fellow on the other #ide
continued to reap the harvest.
Tradition has it mat the first distilling
of crude pine gum in thi* country was
done In New York a short time before It
was generally taken tip by the farmer*
In North Carolina. When the knowledge
of distilling started It spread rapidly, and
was * powerful encouragement to those
engaged In the business. Hhortly after
stills found their way to farms the ship
ment of gum abroad was a thing of the
past, and in its stead the distilled pro
duct*. or rather by-products went direct
t> th< consuming center*. This may he
considered the oecond great stride for

stores.
