 ter months find it advantageous to secure a can making outfit and 

 make their supply of cans in the winter. Where this is not an ob-

 taining two dozen cans. These boxes are the cases in which the 

 canned goods are placed upon the market.

 attractive appearance when tastefully arranged. The colored labels
