Thirty-two new operations are listed in this latest January 1, 1950, edition which gives a much more exact breakdown of facilities and products manufactured by individual mills than has been possible in previous directories. Included are complete addresses of mills, sales offices and officers, production capacities, manufacturing and shipping facilities, and percentage production of each species.

The 1950 "Where to Buy" is twice the size of last year's edition.
