The increase in drawer space, by means of the seven new table cases, 

 is such an improvement and convenience tht 

 words fail to describe it. I am promised that 

 the other seven will be completed within the 

 current year. 



1 have ])repared a 

 table showing the ar- 

 rangement of cases 

 and the amount of 

 space gained for ex 

 hibition purposes. 

 Accompanying- it is 

 a section (here pre- 

 sented,) sh owing 

 the arrangement of 

 shelves in one of the 

 upr i g h 1 a Icov e 

 cases by wliich it 

 will be seen that 

 sloping shelves have 

 been so arranged 

 that 8 s(]nare feet of 

 exhibition area is 

 obtained from one 

 running foot of each 

 case, and every ob- 



ject in plain sight.
