And here is where the great-. Carrying Crane Case. est amount of breakage comes in when shipped from the wholesale dealer to the retail merchant. After studying over the subject for some months I succeeded in assembling a case of corrugated paper that I thought might help us out somewhat, and later ordered 500 of the pattern made by myself. Now I am free to confess that while it had seemed to me for many years that corrugated paper would be a good material for a ship- ping-case, yet I had never thought one could be made strong enough to answer the purpose. What would happen should they be piled one on top of another, ID or 12 deep, or if a box or other material should come against one and crush it and the honey in it? I found, however, that by the use of partitions a case would, sustain a very heavy weight on top of it, and by using two thicknesses it was not likely to get jammed in at the ends or sides and the honey injured. Each partition also tend- ed to break every jar or jolt, and largely increased the safety of the honey. However much faith I had in my "im- proved case," it required a good deal of bravery on my part to fill the 500 paper cases with honey and think of committing them to the tender mercies of the railroads. An accident as we were filling them, in which a case dropped nearly 3 feet (•(I inches, to be accurate), to the floor without injury to a single comb, lielped to reassure me. Determined to know the best as well as the worst of these paper lY^ inches wide, would support a weight of over 60 pounds. And yet we would not advise the use of paper until it has been fully tested.
