ANOTHER STYLE 

 OF CORRUGATED- 

 PAPER SHIPPING 

 CASE. 



Something that Can be 

 Put in the Flat or 

 Knockdown Without 

 the Use of any Paste 

 or Stickers. 



BY E. R. ROOT. 



In our issue for April 15, 

 page 23S, we showed a style 

 of corrugated-paper ship- 

 ping case devised by Mr. 

 J. E. Crane. We sent a 

 sample of one of these to a 

 paper- box manufacturer to 

 get prices, and received from 

 them another style made on 

 a different principle, which, 

 it was suggested, might be

bet:er and stronger than the Crane model. We 

 took some photos, which we now present to our 

 readers. 



By referring to the various illustrations one will 

 see that this case is probably stronger than the 

 Crane. It makes use of a double top and a dou- 

 ble bottom; and an extra inside lining makes a 

 double thickness on all six sides. By referring 

 to Fig. 4 dissected, it will be seen that the sides 

 and ends project 

 in the form of 

 flaps at the top 

 and bottom, fold- 

 ingoverand meet- 

 ing in the middle, 

 thus making a 

 double cover and 

 double bottom. 

 The effect of this 

 double - thickness 

 construction is to 

 stiffen the rase 

 very materially. 

 We havecaiefully 

 tested the strength 

 of the two styles 

 of cases, and found 

 the difference to

be in favor of the one here 

 shown. 



To strengthen it further, an 

 extra inside rim with its cross- 

 partitions slips down into the 

 case, so that, when the whole 

 thing is folded up and tied, as 

 shown in Fig. 2, we have some- 

 thing extra strong. 



Still another point in favor of 

 this construction is that the case 

 can be put in more compact 

 form in the flat or knockdown 

 than the other style of case. 

 This would make it possible 

 for the consignee of honey to 

 return the empties in the flat to 

 the producer at very small ex-
