HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
(READ THIS CAREFULLY)
This Directory is divided into the following chief
groups, separated by sheets of thin card board
inserted between the various groups :
I. Wood Goods.
II. Wood Manufacture (Joinery- and
House-furnishing articles, etc.).
Ill A. Wood Pulp.
Ill B. By-products of sulphite- and sulphate wood
pulp manufacture.
IV. Cardboard and Paper.
V. Products of Wood distillation.
Within these groups, such manufactures as bear
a certain relationship to each other or which are
intended for any certain purpose are, as a rule,
placed together in sub-groups, or sections ; for
example: “Round Wood,” “Wood for Building
purposes and Furniture,” “Chemical Wood Pulp,”
“Paper,” etc. Then, beneath each such chief heading,
there are placed the special manufactures, such as:
“timber,” “doors,” “sulphite wood pulp, bleached,”
“newspaper,” etc. Those firm names, which (in
alphabetical order) are given as exporters of the
respective goods, are distinguished from each other as
follows : Those that are Members of the Associations
representing the branches of industry in question —
of the Swedish Wood Exporters’ Association, for
example — are marked by an asterisk(*) before the
name. Such firms are, in most instances, producers,
while, among the other firms, there occur both
manufacturers and sellers, who, however, do not belong
to the above mentioned associations.
The figures showing the amounts or values of
the goods produced which stand in the column
intended for this purpose, are, in general, the average
°f the figures for the three years immediately
preceding the outbreak of the Great War (1911—1912
and 1913). The reason of this is that, during the
war, shipments have been, as a rule, considerably
reduced, and the production, consequently, less than
the normal. Exceptions to this are, of course, formed
by the statistics for such firms as have been
established since 1913. All statements are based on
information supplied by the various firms themselves.
For the reasons just given, and in consequence of
other factors, it has sometimes not been possible to
obtain production-statistics in the case of several
-even large — firms. As, however, a certain known
minimum of production has, as a rule, formed the
norm according to which the choice has been made
of the firms included in this Directory, it may
confidently be assumed that the production, even in
the instances where no figures are given, is of such
importance as to offer good possibilities of export
for the goods in question. This, in any case, is so
as regards the members of the various Associations.
CAREFULLY)
In many instances, the Postal Addresses (which,
as a rule, are those of the head offices) are different
in summer and winter. This is especially the case
as regards businesses situated in northern Sweden,
these very often having their administrative
department located in Stockholm during the winter
season. In such cases two postal addresses are
given, with a note showing the periods during which
they are to be used. For example:
1/6—30/9 Härnösand
1/10—31/5 Stockholm.
Unless otherwise stated, the Telegraphic address is
always the same as the Postal address.
With regard to the abbreviations occurring in
the text, etc., it will be sufficient to point out that
“A.B.” stands for “Aktiebolaget” (Joint Stock
Company, usually Limited).
In order to assist the reader in finding out the
part of the country in which any particular
business is carried on, it is usually stated in which
shipping district of Sweden the industry is pursued.
In the Directory, the shipping districts are marked
with Roman figures I—VII, corresponding to those
on the map inserted in the end of the section
“Illustrated Monographs”. The shipping districts,
consequently, are marked as follows, proceeding
from north to south and west along the Baltic
coast to the North Sea ports:
I. Haparanda—Luleå—Piteå—Skellefteå district
(Down to 64° North Lat.)
II. Umeå—Örnsköldsvik district (Down to 63°
N. L.)
III. Härnösand district (About 62° 35’ N. L.)
IV. Sundsvall district (About 62° 28’ N. L.)
V. Gävle—Söderhamn district (61° 20f—60° N. L.)
VI. Stockholm Malmö district (60°—56° N. L.)
VII. West coast district, with Lake Vänern (56°—
59° N. L.).
All the Advertisements are numbered
consecutively, and the reader is requested to pay careful
attention to the advertisement-references that will
be met with in the Directory. Those firms, a
detailed account of which is given in the “Illustrated
Monographs” section, are marked with a cross (X)
in the advertisement-references in the Directory.
At the end of the Directory there will be found
a complete Alphabetical List of Products, which
will enable the reader to find at once any desired
article of production. Finally, the reader’s special
attention is called to the section entitled the
“Illustrated Monographs,” where there will be found
information respecting some industrial enterprises
of Sweden.
