About a year ago I took a violent at
tack of la grippe. I coughed day and
suggested that I try Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. At first I could see no
difference, but still kept trying it, and
soon found that it was what I needed.
If I got no relief from one dose I took
another, and it was only a few days un
til I was free from the cough. I think
people in general ought to know the
value of this remedy, and I take pleas
ure in acknowledging the benefit I have
received from it. Madison Mustard,

ing; the Beg-innlng? and . Growth
of an Important in
dustry. In the multiplicity of modern con
veniences the paper box holds a front
place. Half a century ago the dry
goods dealer would present an empty
box to the little daughter of his regu
lar customer as a mark of special favor.
Boxes were then used only by the
wholesale houses to send out their
goods in, and the retailer kept them to
show his wares in. Now the customer
insists upon his purchase being placed
in a neat box. Not only is this so in
the dry goods business, but in every
other business. The oyster fry in a
box as a peacemaker was a popular
joke half a dozen years ago; now they
put ice-cream in boxes, and all sorts of
things. Candy used to be sold in pa
per bags; the smallest purchase has to
be put in a box. The saucy confection
er might hand a paper bag to a woman
who had made a small purchase, but
never to a man. The man is probably
more particular about his parcel than
a woman. He hates to be seen carry
ing parcels, anyway, and those he does
carry nust be thoroughly well dis
guised. If he buys a bottle of whisky
he must have it in a box. so that his
friends may mistake it for a pair of
shoes.
It is not surprising, therefore, "says
the New York Advertiser, that paper
box making should have grown into an
important industry. In this city alone
no less than five .thousand girls are
employed in it. It is a comparatively
clean, healthy business, is regular and
is well paid, the wages averaging be
tween seven and ten dollars a week.
There are in this city seventy-five firms
sngaged in the business, but three
fourths of it is done by ten large firms,
whose individual output will run from
one hundred thousand to one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars a year. As
the average cost of a paper box is five
cents, you can form some idea from
this of the enormous number that are
used. One candy maker alone during
the month of December last used ten
thousand dollars' worth of boxes.
Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago
are also prominent in this industry,
and the workmen and girls employed
by the firms of those cities cannot be
much less than twenty thousand.
' The first paper box maker was,
George V. Plumly, who started in the
business at Philadelphia in 1846. He
and his partner cut out the boxes, their
only tools being a straight edge, com
passes, shoe knife and scissors. They
employed five girls to paste, and for
six or seven years had a monopoly of
the business. Then Charles W. Jencks
started in the business in Providence,
and introduced a rough scoring ma
chine to cut partly through the card
board where it is folded to make the
box. At that time it was a struggle to
obtain proper materials. There were
few paper mills in the country and the
straw board used was very poor 6tuff,
not two sheets coming out of the mill
of the same size. It was made by
hand of straw, meadow hay, refuse
straw from stables," dried in the open
air on the ground, and consequently
was often filled with sand, which made
it interesting for the cutters. The
best quality of mill board was all im
ported. In those early days the young wom
en in the paper box factories made
boxes as their mothers made pies, "one
at a time and that one well." A girl
who could make pics quickly and well
could make boxes in a similar style.
The operations were somewhat simi
lar. There was the same manner of
cutting out material, the same caress
ing way of patting down and smooth
ing out the box coverings as the pie
crust and the same way of trimming
off surplus material. Now everything
is done by machinery in paper box
making, and the girls have nothing to
do but feed the material to the ma
chines. . '
George A. Dickerman, of Boston,
started in the business in 1SC3 in Bos
ton, and about 1870 a Frenchman
named Kouyon introduced the business
in this city.. The old-fashioned way
of scoring the pasteboard with a rule
and a cobbler's knife continued until
1871, when the first machine was intro
duced. This was the invention of Mr.
Bigelow, of New Haven. This scoring
machine was such a success that a
number of firms sprang up. Six years
after a man named Marshall, of Bos
ton, made a lighter and easier running
machine, and in 1S81 John T. Robinson
& Co. invented the present scoring ma
chine. The trouble with the former
machines was in the time it took to ad
just the knives to a new size or pattern
of box; in the Robinson scorer there
are two sets of knives, so that one can
be adjusted while the other is being
used. v
Nowadays the whole of the material
is made in this country, and it is a sat
isfaction to know that the scoring ma
chines and the box making machines
are all the result of Yankee ingenuity.
Paper boxes are used all over the
world now, and all the world has to
get its machines from this country. In
France paper boxes are still made by
hand by many firms, but the machines
have been introduced there and it will
not be long before Yankee inventions
will be at work in all their factories.
- The box maker now receives two dol
lars for the same work he received five
dollars for twenty-one years ago, yet
he makes a larger profit and is able to
pay higher wages. The machines are
uncomplicated and not expensive. The
business gives steady employment, as
there is practically no particular sea
son, and when not working on orders
the machines are running on stock, of
which a large supply has always to be
kept on hand.
Such is the rapid growth of the paper
box industry, which now has three
good trade papers to represent its in
terests. .
