Book Description

Excerpt from The Pulp Industry in Canada The next step in the cost of raw material is the handling and driving of these logs to'the pulp mills, and this is a point I wish to emphasize very particularly. The cost of pulp is determined largely by the quantity produced, as the fixed charges of a pulp manufacturing concern are al most the same whether a larger or smaller quantity of pulp is manufactured. It, therefore, is apparent that a large pulp mill has an advantage over a smaller one, and this refers more particularly to the cost of handling and driving the logs to the mill. As you are all. No doubt aware, it costs very little more to drive a larger quantity of logs than a mailer quantity, and therefore if a pulp manu facturer has a large quantity of logs to handle, it pays him to make permanent improvembnts on his streams, lakes and rivers, so as to lessen the cost of driving Operations as well as ensure the safety of the log.
