when it reached its destination. 1t was
81 ia inches wide. and each roll weighs
about 1900 pounds. Each roll was wrapped

tightly encased in three thicknesses of
burlap. and the packing reflected much
credit upon the shipping department OF the
mill The rolls were handsome when com
pleted. Ii was a trial shipment, and it
may result in larger and permanent orders

tirely taken to pieces and is being rebuilt.
