OPPORTUNITIES FOR SMALL BUSINESS IN FOREST PRODUCTS UTILIZATION)

By broad industry standards most units of the forest industries are small business. Only a few units, such as pulp and paper mills, constitute large business. By standards within the forest industries themselves, however, small business has a special meaning, which, so far as is known, no one has attempted to define. Probably the majority think of small business in terms of a portable circular sawmill as contrasted with a stationary band mill or perhaps a producer of green crating or turning squares in contrast to a manufacturer of kiln-dried dimension stock.
