who supplies him often uses a one-compartment case just half the 

 standard size, for fifteen dozen, and for a larger number makes or 

 has made boxes that will hold just the required number and has 

 the consumer's address as well as his own painted on the boxes. 

 For smaller lots to be shipped by express, smaller boxes are made, 

 holding from two to ten dozen. For eggs to be delivered direct 

 from producer to consumer the cheap pasteboard egg boxes (hold- 

 ing one dozen each) which retail grocers and provision dealers use 

 are commonly used by poultrymen. For those who require large 

 quantities of them manufacturers will print on the boxes special 

 labels or designs, which add to the attractiveness of the package 

 and also advertise the goods. However small the quantity of eggs 

 to be sold, the most satisfactory way to handle them is to pack 

 them in boxes.
