The last-named gentleman writes us, " The lot of 

 sections I got of you (10,000) were very nice and per- 

 fect. I am not satistied in saying 1 was pleased with 

 them— I was delighted. The.v were bright and per- 

 fect as new-made coin. I have no hesitancy in say- 

 ing that your make of sections is superior to an.v I 

 ever saw. There is practically no breakage in fold- 

 ing. In trying them 1 folded 1000 without breaking 

 a piece." 



Our improved facilities for manufacturing these 

 sections enable us to offer them at greatly reduced 

 rates. Send lor price list. Address as above. We 

 also make the best berrv-baskets in the market.
