PAPER BAG AND GROCERS.
Latter Are Judged by the Character
of the Former.

Latter Are Judged by the Character
of the Former.
Few wholesale grOcers realize the
Importance and extent Of the paper-Dag
industry, or the large amount Of capt.
tai invested in the production Of this
absolute necessity to the retail grocer.
says the American Grocer.
There are consumed il the United
States alone grocers' paper bags to the
value of nearly $12,OOO,OOO annually,
not taking into account paper sacks for
-four, cement, charcoal and other arti-
cles. The tai capital invested in this
business is probably $5O,OOO,O0O, repre-
sented by mills, factories, patents,
woodlands and water powers.
When it is remembered that fifty
years ago there was not a paper-bag
factory in the entire country, each gro
Ger making, as opportunity offered, the
few paper bags he used, and at the
present time there are single corpora
tons whose invested capital exceeds
$25,000,OOO, giving employment to over
5000 people and producing some $780,
100000 paper bags annually, it must
be conceded that, as an industry, the
manufacture Of paper bags has been de-
veloped to it's fullest extent.
The evolution of the paper bags has
been, however, a gradual one. From
the crude handmade bags to the latest
automatic or self-opening paper bag,
there has been long series of improve
me1ts and developments in the art. The
first machine-made paper bag was made
from a continuous roll of paper and
was known to the trade as the fat bag,
or old style. In 1872 an Improvement
on this was made and what is known
as the square bag was invented. This
bag reigned supreme for a decade, but
in 1883 the automatic square, or self
opening square bag was invented.
This bag, as its name implies, opened
automatically when any article was
placed in it, and this bag superseded
the square bag, as that had previously
done the old style, or fat bag.
OF these latter but few are now used
and then for special purposes only, to
which they are adapted by reason Of
their shape. During the periods Of
these different styles the consumption
of paper bags was increasing yearly
and to an unlooked-for extent, and with
each improvement in the manufactured
stances with reductions in price owing
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1908-07-09

to the improved methods Of manufac-
ture, the industry was rapidly devel-
Oped in all parts of the country, and
to-day the United States stands at the
head Of the paper-bag industry of the
world and bags "made in U. S. A" are
found in every civilized country on the
face of the globe.
The style and quality of paper bags
used by grocer are generally an index
to the character of business done by
him. The best trade insists on having
groceries delivered in good order, and
grOcers are everywhere looking for
paper bags that can be depended upon
when looking for source of supply
for this article.
Paper bags Of the best grade were
originally made From jute or manila
paper, but this of late years has been
almost entirely displaced by paper
made from spruce wood. One manu-
facturer owns over $500 square miles
of timber land, from which is derived
the supply Of wood for pulp and fiber,
and controls every step in the process
Of manufacture from the tree in the
forest to the finished product as sent
to the warehouse Of the wholesale GRO

Formerly is was customary for kings
of England on Good Friday to hallow

Rain In Wartime.

The late General Joseph Wheeler
told this story as illustrating the firm
belief which prevailed in Tennessee
during wartime as to the efficacy of
prayer.
There had been a summer religious
meeting in one Of the rural districts
No rain, it seems, had fallen in long
time; everything was about burned up.
Consequently, the preacher concluded
his prayer with this appeal for rain:
''Oh, Lord, we need a refreshing
shower! Be pleased to send us the
blessed rain, so that the dropping vege-
tation may be revived-oh, Lord none
of those light, drizzly rains, but reg
ular ground soaker A heavy rain, oh
Lord But not heavy enough, good
Lord, to raise the Cumberland River
SO that the Yankee gunboats can come
in and take Nashville!"

WHERE THE FLEET CAN DOCK.
United States Has Only Two Big
Drydocks on the Pacific Coast.

United States Has Only Two Big
Drydocks on the Pacific Coast.
It needs only a glance at the govern
ment drydock facilities on the Pacific
coast to convince one of their utter
inadequacy to the demands which will
be made by our navy during the COM
ing two or three years, says Casters
Magazine.
The United States government pos
sesses upon the entire Pacific coast only
two completed drydocks; one at the
Mare Island navy yard, in San Fran
cisco bay, and one at Bremerton, WASH
on Puget Sound.
The dock at Mare Island is 513 feet
long over all, so feet z inches wide at
it's entrance and 81 feet inches deep
over the sill. It is available only for
the accommodation Of the smaller ships.
The drydock at Bremerton is more
commodious, being $50 feet long over
all, 90 feet inches wide at the en-
trance and 30 feet deep over sill. This
will permit the entrance Of the larger
battleships, but it is distant from the
main naval base.
At Mare Island the government has
under construction a third Pacific coast
drydock, but it is estimated that it will
take three years of hard work to finish
it.
This dock was begun in 1900 and the
contract called for it's completion Nov.
20, 1907; but unforeseen emergencies
delayed matters and the dock will hard
ly be available for use during the pres
ent visit of the fleet.
Outside Of the government docks on
the Pacific there is just one private
plant on that coast which has facilities
for handling the big battleship. This is
situated at Hunters Point, on the west
side of San Francisco bay, about five
miles south of the city, and is owned
by the San Francisco DrydOck Com
pany. 1t has only one drydock capable
of admitting the large battleships, be-
ing $50 feet long, 100 feet wide and 80
feet 5 inches deep.
There are thus only two docks on. the
entire Pacific coast Of the United States
capable of handling the larger Of the
navy's battleships, and one of these is
a private one and will need to be leased
by the year by the government in order
that it may be at the navy's disposal
at any and all times.
Some time before the announcement
of the proposed mobilization of the
fleet on the Pacific was made the San
Francisco Drydock Company had per-
fected plans for the construction Of
drydock which when completed will be
UNIQUE in this class of marine engineer
ing in that it will be the largest dry
dock in the world.
At the present time the largest dry
dock in the world is at Belfast, Ire
land: but the proposed San Francisco
drydock will materially exceed it in
dimensions. In exact figures the new
dock will be 1850 feet long, IA feet
wide and 81 feet 6 inches deep.

1t is probable that the so-called sewer
gss which caused the explosion and con-

ages from numerous sources are likely
to prove dangerously heavy in the aggre-
gate, in the trunk sewers. Something
must be done to meet this new menace.
