Open tank creosoting plants for treating chestnut poles

FOR a number of years chestnut timber, because of its many desirable characteristics, has served a broad field of usefulness in telephone line construction work, not only in its native territory, the eastern and southeastern part of the united States, but also in neighboring states. In fact, as an average, about 200,000 chestnut poles are set annually in the Bell System plant as replacements and in new lines.
