The Disston Lumberman's Handbook - A Practical Book of Information on the Construction and Care of Saws #226890

It was a long and hard struggle for Henry0 Disston to secure recognition and command trade for his American-made goods, but how he succeeded is now well known. Up to this time the American market was supplied almost entirely by the foreign manufacturers, but the growth and development of this business in the United States since then has been phenomenal. Now, and for some years past, there have been practically no saws of any foreign manufacture, im ported into the United States, while on the other hand the American-made goods are exported very largely to all parts of the civilized globe.
