Biipland are many box factories that
maks only small lock cornered boxes
from native second growth pine. Some
of these boxes are so small as to pack
a finger ring ready for the mall.
Thousands of young boys and girls
earn good wages In these factories, the

How the Work Is Done. N
The box business in these days of
costly and imperfect lumber must be
run on highly practical as well as scien
tific lines. The men must be trained
and then carofuly watched over. Usu
ally lumber comes to the boxman as
inch boards. These are unloaded from
the cars and carefully Inspected and
piled ' In separate plies In accordance
with their defects.

railroads when the work of firing an
