w. S. Heddles of Edgerton, says the
Reporter, recently invented q tobacco
case which is believed to be an inn
provement over anything that; has yet
been put on the market. The new in

drawing Of nails, and at the same time
| preserves the strength of the case. The
new case can be offered at only slight
advance over the ordinary box, and
this can be saved in labor at sampling.
