(D) BUSINESS SIDE. The skill of the box maker is shown 

 by working up, without waste, the proper proportions of widths 

 and thicknesses. Careful piling of lumber in the yard, separating 

 according to width and thickness, is very essential. 



The interdependence between crop prospects and box prices 

 is easily felt by the box makers. 



For large boxes the nailed pattern is preferred, being 

 strongest. Box shook fasteners and box strapping increase 

 strength of the box.
