Want Loan Of
Packing Trunks

The surgical dressings department
at the Fargo branch headquarters is
becoming so crowded. partly because
so much Of the work now is OH the
larger dressings, that there is no
longer enough room to properly store
the finished dressings until they can
be taken to the Cass county head
quarters each week. Someone in
touch with the situation has sug-
gested that the loan Of ons or two of
the big, old fashioned packing
trunks, IL there are any such in the
City, would solve the problem for the
present, therefore the department
wishes to make this an appeal to the
public for the temporary use Of such
