 Three per cent dlsconnt from these prlcies if cash accompanies order. We 

 recommend full telescope lids for designs and for shipping purposes; shallow 

 lids generally satisfactory for local delivery. Specify if shallow or full 

 telescope lids are wanted where we price each. 



MIST GRAY BOXES 



An excellent box for all occasions. Does not soil easily. 



Our Mist Gray Boxes are made from medium weight 

 board; therefore always order full telescope lid for ship- 

 ping purposes. Shallow lids are satisfactory to most 

 florists for local delivery.
