A labor saving device may be made by nailing some 

 cleats on the floor or work-bench to hold the ends and 

 middle in place while one of the sides is being nailed. 

 Fasten two cleats just far enough apart so a crate-end 

 will be held tip sideway between them j then just two 

 feet from the outer edge of this side nail down two 

 more cleats that will hold up another end in a similar 

 way. The outer sides of these ends should be just two 

 feet apart. Midway between these fasten two more 

 cleats these are to hold the partition of the crate. 

 The side-slats can now be nailed to the ends and par- 

 tition very easily. This will give sufficient support to 

 the ends and partition of the box, that it may be 

 turned over and the other side nailed on. A slat 

 nailed on to each corner, which has been sawed off 

 and one of the eight-inch sides nailed up, and the 

 crate will be ready to receive vegetables. 



A barrel crate, or one that will hold about a hun- 

 dred pounds of cabbage, may be made in a similar 

 way. The dimensions of such a crate are twelve 

 inches by eighteen inches by three feet. The slats for 

 such crates must be broader and thicker.
