Sometimes it is a disadvantage to

hotel manager I'VE found this out
not long ago. when people from the
middle west, who are among our best
patrons. wanted our orchestra to play
at wedding in which they were in
terested and which took place in a
private house. AS the company cot a
little warmed up they decided they
would have some dancing, so the host
ess asked the orchestra leader to play.
Would he? Not on your life. He was
an artist. he was. and it was not his
business TO descend to playing for
dances. The result was that one of
the guests had to play the piano and

PAPER BOXES.
One Industry Alone Uses 1000 Differ
ent Sizes and Shapes.

One INDUSTRY AIohe USES T,O0o OiHeT-
ent Sizes and Shapes.
A thousand machines of many types
and sizes and designed for many pur-
poses are used today in the manufac-
ture of paper boxes. This assortment
of machines is absolutely necessary,
for the number of styles of cardboard
boxes used for packing all sorts of
articles is without limit.
According to the Edison Monthly, one
industry alone. the making of pens.
pencils and eraSers, requires boxes of
4,OOO different sizes and shapes.
Paper box making, one of the new
but important industries of this coun-
try, has made its greatest progress
during the last half century and par
ticularly within the last twenty years.
+ after modern machinery had been in
troduced The business has assumed
wonderful proportions III New York
city, where the capital invested ex-
ceeds $5,000,O00
One hundred years ago there was no
such thing as a paper box. The con-
tainer of those days consisted of moth
ing more than heavy sheet OF paper
wrapped around the article to be car
ried. In time some progressive person
conceived the idea of cutting part way
through the paper in order to. make it
fold more readily. With this four sid
ed wrapper it became the custom to
tuck the loose ends in to prevent the
contents slipping out.
From this was evolved the idea of
scoring the paper so both the sides
and ends folded up and then gluing the
ends together That was the way the
first paper boxes We're made, and it
was years before any marked improve
ment was made. In those days knife,
a pair of shears, kettle of paste and
a straightedge. with a supply Of box
board were sufficient equipment to
start a man in business.
