Reid's Improved Butter Shipping: Box. Patented. 



Improved Butter Shipping Boxes, with lock cornered 

 trays, are a most complete thing. Tliey are made of well- 

 seasoued lumber, iron bound at the edge, and capped at 

 the corners as shown in the above engraving. Malleable, 

 detachable hinges and corner plates, combined, prevent the 

 wear and tear to which the boxes are subjected. 



The trays for the butter are let down into the box, one 

 >ipon another, and may be lifted out with the butter in 

 tliem. A movable ice box is placed in the centre. The 

 lour sides of the tray are surrounded by a non-conducting 

 air space, which is valuable in preserving the temperature 

 and saving tl)e ice. Malleable iron chest handles, well 

 secured to the sides of the box, make it convenient to 

 carry. The boxes are especially suited to square or oblong 

 prints.

Reid's Butter i>loald. 



With this mould, 

 very firm butter 

 may be printed. 

 As shown in the 

 figure, the operator 

 cannot only put 

 his entire weight on 

 the print, but at the 

 same time clasp the 

 base with his fing- 

 ers, by giving the 

 print block a rock- 

 ing motion by 

 4/ =r pressing alternately 

 ' ''^'' with each hand. 

 The mould with the 

 butter in it may be 

 quickly turned the 

 other side up by lifting it with a finger of each hand in 

 the small depressions in ends of box, when the base may 

 be removed and the butter pushed out. Each .SI .50.

Rapp's Automatic Butter Printer. 



The advantages we claim over other butter presses are 

 that all the parts can be regulated by a series of set screws, 

 thereby taking up the expansion and con- 

 traction caused by scalding. We can furnish 

 them to print plain or fancy prints as desired.
