resigned Saturday Gs Commissioner OF

credited with MI intention to hasten to

txcelIeat oeG Machine.

J. P. Payne Of Garnet mesa has what
appears TO our inexperienced eye to be
the finest kind Of a machine for the
making Of fruit boxes. The box ends
are held in position while you nail the
side of the box to one end, then lift
your foot from a lever and the box
turns around automatically to be nailed
at the other end. Pick the box up and
turn II over to have the other side put
on in the same way. Get your nails
from an automatic feeder that brings
them to your hand with head up ready
to take hold Of and place in position for
driving. A sort of automatic hand
comes down and holds the sides and top
pieces to place while you drive the
nails.
Mr.. Payne says this machine will
double mans box making capacity.
II he can make 100 boxes per day by
the old process he can make 800 per day
by using this machine. There would
seem to be no cxaggeration about this
statement. Mr.. Payne has been work.
ing on the machine for two years and
now has it perfected to the point where
he is willing for it to 90 on the market
and has applied for patents to protect
his rights. He expects to sell territory
and not the machine. 1t will probably
be sold at s25. 90.
II you are fruit man and make
boxes you will be interested in this
machine. 1t is on exhibition in the

can be seen at any time.
