Mr. Knight: If they swelled the least little bit it would 

 open the seams some. T do not think that anything has ever 

 been a success in closing up a package except the swelling 

 and making it tight. The wax and parafine lined packages 

 have never been a success. The Creamery Package Company 

 spent thousands of dollars trying to make a package with a 

 waxed lining inside. They would get it so you could fill it 

 with water for a week, and it wouldn't leak, but you put butter 

 into it and handle it, jar it on the cars and it would break the 

 seams. I do not see how a box can do any differently from 

 that.
