For those who may be interested in a few statistics of the trade is appended the following figures relating to the Spanish and American industry:

Spanish Industry, 1912

There were 892 factories throughout Spain in 1912, in 107 towns and cities, divided as follows:

Seville District 305 in 48 towns
Barcelona District 507 in 31 “
Other Districts 80 in 28 “

These factories employ approximately 40,000 people in the various branches of the industry at an average daily wage of 67 cents.

The raw material yield for 1912 is reported as: 7800 short tons, valued at $57.90 per ton to the grower, or $4,516,200.

It will also be of interest to show a few comparisons of values, for various years, in shipments to foreign parts, viz.:

American Industry

In 1899, there were 62 factories in the United States of varying sizes and located in the following states: New York (Brooklyn), Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and Ohio. Employing 2340 wage earners. Importing a raw stock of $2,404,000, and making products valued at $4,392,000.

In 1904, the factories decreased to 50 in number, the wage earners increased to 2895, the imported raw material to $2,459,197 and the products to $4,490,952.

In 1909, the factories increasing again to 62 in number, the wage earners to 3142, the imported raw material to $3,435,000 and the products to $5,940,000: corks selling from 3 cents to 40 cents per pound.

This of course does not appear to be a very extensive business, but the nature of the commodity will readily convince that the money figures are not at all in comparison to the bulk of corkwood, for it would really seem that if the trade should increase to an amount sufficient to vie with other prominent ones, the ships would be at loss how to stow the other freight. The imports of corkwood into this country and the exports, for comparison, may be seen in the following tables:

  • Contents: “The Tree and Growth” appears in Contents as a chapter but is typeset in the original work (page 12) as a section. The original work formatting has been retained.
  • Contents: “Substitutes” appears in Contents as a chapter but is typeset in the original work (page 53) as a section. The original work formatting has been retained.
  • Contents: “Waste utilization” appears in Contents as a section but is typeset in the original work (page 68) as a chapter. The original work formatting has been retained.
  • Page 5: VaniÇek may be misspelled.
  • Page 6: Grammatic may be misspelled.
  • Page 32, molecular structure diagram: The right-hand CH2 groups should be connected.
  • Footnote 21: “Etymology of Word” is not found in the original work. The chapter in Contents entitled “Quercus Liber (LinnÆus)” et seq. gives the etymology.

    • Page 43: The opening quotation mark for {the British Museum.”} was not found.
    • Page 43: The closing quotation mark for {“The various applications} is possibly at {blacks known in painting.”} on page 53. Otherwise, both quotation marks are likely unmatched.
    • Page 53: The closing quotation mark for {results. “A primitive material} was not found definitively but possibly could be located immediately after {the elements of cork.} on page 54.
  • This work has been preserved as in the original, including archaic and inconsistent spelling, punctuation and grammar, except as noted below.
  • Changes made to the main text:
    • Preface: (Linneus) changed to (LinnÆus).
    • Page 5: Etymologische Worterbuch changed to Etymologisches WÖrterbuch.
    • Page 8: korkeiche changed to Korkeiche.
    • Page 11: Farenheit changed to Fahrenheit.
    • Page 16: tree iself, which changed to tree itself, which.
    • Page 32: Cyclohaptanone changed to Cycloheptanone.
    • Page 36: 7/16 changed to 7/16.

    • Page 55: The cork manufacturing chart moved from within the paragraph to immediately below the paragraph.
    • Page 69: insultaing changed to insulating.
    • Footnote 25: “m” signifying metal changed to “M” signifying metal.
  • Changes made to A SELECTED LIST OF BOOKS ON CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY:
    • Pages in the original work are numbered beginning with page 1. They are renumbered herein in the format A-x (page 1 is A-1) to avoid conflict with page numbers in the main ‘text.’
    • Page 4, Church's Laboratory Guide: ‘cloth,’ changed to ‘cloth.’
    • Page 10, Olsen: ‘cloth.,’ changed to ‘cloth.’
