A New POTATO-BOX Made Entirely of Slats. 



This kind of box has been several times recom- 

 mended, but we have not made them till now. We 

 are having quite a trade on potato-boxes, and find 

 difficulty in getting lumber to make tlie ends of 

 one piece, so we have tried putting slats in both 

 ends and sides as well as bottoms. The cut above 

 shows 2 boxes nailed alongside of a package of 15, 

 put up ready for shipment. We make them the 

 same size as the other styles. 1414x16'^ xl2>^ deep 

 out.side measure, with six slats on the lx)tt(mi. five 

 on each side and each end, and a slat up each cor- 

 ner. It makes a lighter and stronger box. and we 

 can also furnisli them cheaper. We put them up 

 in packages of 15 — two nailed up and the other 13, 

 witli nails, packed inside. Weight of the package, 

 100 lbs., and the price *1.5U, which equals 10 cts. 

 each in full packages; lu packages, 5 per cent off. 

 Nailed up. 15c each. In ordering, call this the All 

 slatted box.
