Synopsis
Excerpt from Cork: Being the Story of the Origin of Cork, the Processes Employed in Its Manufacture Its Various Uses in the World to-Day
Followed the train of advancing civilization and the ensuing multiplication and alteration of man's economic needs. Even where the demand for a certain material to fulfill a particular function has continued through the centuries, widening knowledge of natural resources coupled with modern invention has usually found some substitute cheap er, more efficient, and better adapted for the purpose in question. Not so with cork. Recognized by the ancients as peculiarly suited for certain uses, time has vindicated their verdict; nothing has yet been discovered to supplant it in its wide sphere of usefulness.
