In the packing house various methods pre- vailing in the difTerent districts were illustrated. Part of the output was run over the old-style belt sorter, and were size<l and packed by hand. The balance of the output were demonstrated in the conveyors over a Cutler sizing machine. Modern methods were demonstrated in the conveyors that lead from all ma- chines and packing bins to the nailing press and from there to the warehouse, and many other labor-saving devices available for packing and warehouse use were shown in actual operation.
