 turning tin 



This is an invention of ereat value to poultrymen in gen- 

 eral, and to those who ship eggs foi- hatching in particular 

 The box is complete in itself, nothing in the way of pack 

 iiig being requii'ed. It is only necessary to place the eggt 

 ill tlie box, and fasten the cover down; tliey are securely 

 held in place by light springs, which allow no play in any 

 (liiection, but which hold them suspended in the center of 

 the box, where they are secure from all jar, thumping, 01 

 breakage. 



At a recent poultry show in Cleveland, O., one of the 

 boxes was filled with eggs and tossed aiound tiie room and 

 thrown to the floor; and, on opening, not an egg w;is broken 



The springs are so constructed that they will hold with 



equal security and ease any size of hen's egg. The single 



box will successfully carry any number of eggs from one 



nd the doulDle box any number from one to thirty. The cover is secured by metal fastenings 



1, not shown in the engraving. It is well adapted to keeping eggs for higher prices, as, hy 



box over every few daj's, eggs in it will keep sound and good for six months or more.
