seams at the corners or edges, the leather
is stitched and tapped over the sides and
fastened with copper riyets. The corners
are turned and formed by heavy steam
pressure. Steel bands are employed, in

be more appreciated than on the rough
water, and the other is spring so srran.
ged that the tray need not be lifted out
of the trunk, and put, no one can tell
where, in such a small place, but may be
thrown up in the top of the lid and fss-
tened there with spring. Trunks with
these Improvements are from nine TO
twelve dollars.

be considering the price, $385-was OF
