Manufactures. Exports. Imports.
During the period 1861—80, was begun the manufacture of sheathing-
paper, chiefly for building purposes, and this industry is pursued on a
large scale at Munksjo (1862), Vargon'(1869), Katrinefors (1871), Mun-
kedal (1872) and Fiskeby (1873).
The development of the paper industry during the last thirty years has
shown a pronounced tendency towards specialization, especially in the
manufacture of newspaper paper, as at Holmen in Norrkoping, where are
to be found the machines for producing the broadest paper turned out in
the country, at Lilia Edet, and at the great mills at Domnarvet (1900);
another speciality is wrapping paper, manufactured, among other places,
at Stromsnas mills (1896), Frovifors mills (1901), and Örebro mills (1901).
Furthermore, a number of the older mills have been rebuilt or extended, in
order to develope one or other, or both, of these branches.
