THE LUMBER INDUSTRY—A LOGGING STREAM, MENOMINEE, WIS.
Logwood is the wood of a tree (Hæmatoxylon campechianum) growing in Central America and the West Indies. The best quality comes from Campeche, and it is marketed mainly from Central American ports. It is almost universally used for dyeing the black of woollen and cotton textiles, and logwood blacks are the standard of color-prints.
