Christian Union, says: It seems tome the biggest 
mul'um in the smallest parvo I have ever seen. For 
convenience in packing away much store in small 
space it competes with the famous bee cells: and for 
convenience of getting at the store the bee cells are 
no where in comparison It makes easy observance 
of the motto, "A place for everything and every¬ 
thing in its place.” If any words of mine can put the 
desk into a deskless home, X shall have put that home 
under obligation to me. (Signed), Lyman Abbott.
