VENEERING. 



The most difficult thing about the packing is to pre- 

 vent veneering. It seems to come so natural, when a 

 particularly white and straight section goes into the case,

to put it next the glass, best side out at that. But it is 

 especially desirable that the outside shall be a fair index 

 of the entire contents of the case. In the long run there 

 is money to be made by it, to say nothing of the feeling 

 of satisfaction. 



HONEY-SHOW. 



\\'hen the cases are filled and weighed, they are 

 stacked up in piles, and these piles are mostly — perhaps 

 always — so arranged as to make the best show possible. 

 There is no object in this beyond the pleasure it gives 

 the family to see it for a few days, perhaps only for a 

 day. But the sight is a beautiful one so long as it lasts, 

 as I think you will agree with me if you look at Fig. 104.
