. Canadian forest industries 1901-1902. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. April, 1902 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN in many GREAT SAW MANUFACTURING WORKS. The firm of R. Hoe & Company, New York, have een engaged in the manufacture of circular saws for early a century. They were the first to make rcular saws from cast-steel, and later originated the nserted tooth saw, one of the greatest inventions ever lade for the millman's benefit. Their entire works, ficluding the manufacture of the famous Hoe printing resses, give employment to 2,500 men nd have a floor area of over fifteen cres, •ccupying two blocks in the heart of the city •f New York. Their saws are in use every- where in the United States, and •arts of Canada. i The Hoe establishment is a land-mark of sTew York city, the accompanying illustra- ion being a bird's eye perspective of the vorks. The buildings stand on somewhat •levated ground, declining to the water ront of the East river. The works face on irand, Broome,Sheriff and Columbia streets. The most important feature is the clock ower, which can be seen from almost any wint on , Lower Manhattan Island or Brooklyn. The great demand for the Hoe saw is llustrated by a review of the work going )n in the vast buildings. In the saw shops, going from one department to another, *e first see an almost endless line of Lnvils wheie in-the hands of skilled artisans nultitudes of saws are being put into shape under the hammer, after coming from :he machines. These saws are of the best Sheffield steel. The machines in the manufacture of the plates have done their work well, but there still remain the final touches of the expert mechanic to give them their recognized excellence. Further on are the punching machines for toothing saws, and then we come to a room where fine milling machines are engaged in grooving the shanks or bit holders for the patent chisel tooth saw, which is a specialty with this firm.
