Excerpt from The Disston Lumberman's Handbook: A Practical Book of Information on the Construction and Care of Saws In 1840 the firm Of William Charles Johnson failed and Henry Disston accepted from them some tools, steel, and such material as he could get in the saw manufacturing line on account of wages due him and began the manufacture of saws in his own name. After this there were several small industries started, such as Jonathan Paul in 1840, J. Bringhurst in 1842, James Turner in 1843 and Walter Cresson in 1845. These latter were each in turn bought out by Henry Disston. Previous to 1855 all the crucible steel used in this country in the manufacture of saws was brought from England. In that year, Henry Disston built and operated the first successful crucible-steel melting plant for saw, Steel in the United states. The crucible steel so made by Henry Disston was hauled from the works to a mill some 5 or 6 miles away' and there, under his guidance, was rolled into sheets and taken back to the Disston Works to be made into saws. After making steel in this way for several years, Henry Disston built a rolling mill and from then on used his own make of steel for manufacturing saws.

Excerpt from The Lumberman's Hand Book: New Edition The various systems of Inspection, Grading and Measurement are given in the following pages in about the order of their adoption in the different localities. It is more than probable that if any one standard of yard grading is adopted universally at wholesale centers, it will be something very similar to that in vogue in Chicago, as it is believed to come nearest to meeting the general want of any method now in use. markets com peting directly with Chicago have aimed to grade as near like it as possible, and if this little work affords any aid in this direction, it will be a source of very great satisfaction 'to the publishers.

Excerpt from The Lumberman's Hand Book: For the Inspection and Measurement of Lumber and Logs One of the most difficult tasks in the domain of lumber literature is the putting upon paper of a description of those various divisions or grades which are found to prevail in different localities. Surveying, as it is known in Maine and some other localities, Inspection, as it is termed in Albany and the West, consists of fixing a value to each individual piece of lumber. Inasmuch as no two are exactly alike, it is impossible to establish an arbitrary rule for the guidance of the Inspector, and, as a consequence, the individual judgment must determine the value of each, from a consideration of its general character, and the uses to which it can be put in house building or manufacture. As the judgment of men varies as much as each piece of lumber from its fellow, it becomes very difficult for one to see the value and character of a board exactly as it is seen by all others, and hence it is well nigh impossible to prescribe what shall constitute a board of any particular grade.
