IN TRUNKS
OUTLINED BY HASKIN
Daily Letter by Frederic j. Haskin

different kinds Of handles are made.
Scraps too small for handles are
sold to companies who use them In
making fibre.
A feature of the industry that
catches the eye of the visitor is the
extensive use of fiber. Once trunks
were made of natural cowhide with
the hair of the animal left on.
These shaggy little trunks were SID
posed to be unusually durable, but
gradually smooth leather replaced
them. Now a leather trunk Of any
sort Is a novelty. Fiber, fitted owe
a framework of veneer, is the usual
trunk material, and bags Of fiber
are made in large quantities.
Leather Substitutes
Some people think of the fiber
used in s~uttcases as a single grade
of material, a leather substitute. Az
a matter of fact 40 grades are used
in this particular plant. Yon ca1
! see sheets Of brown fiber that Will
tear like plotting paper, and other
sheets SO tough that they are like
cowhide. The former grade is ma lie
chiefly of paper. The latter is chief
ly 1brous material. Some grades
will stand long and hard usage.
Others will not.
Fiber can now be stamped with
a leather design SO perfectly that
a fiber bag car scarcely be distin-
| guished from a. leather bag by a
person unacquainted with skins. In
one of the rooms at this plant ny
draulic presses put an alligator
stamp on sheets of heavy black fiber.
Other types of leather are also CO.
pied. The aim we r told, Is not
merely to initiate the appearance
of leather, but to give the material
a rough surface. The eve sur
face design of seal or wulrus wears
bettet than the smooth finish Of un-
stamped fiber.
Although leather substitutes arc
coming into widespread use, the
trend of the public in buying lug
gage is not toward the very cheap
grades. Factory officials say that
sales in cheap trunks and bags are
decreasing, due partly at least to
the higher wage scales in indus
| tries. Old style box trunks for
instance, are still sold in large
quantities for packing and storage
purposes, but 80 per cent of the de-
mand in travelling trunks now is Tor
wardrobe types.
When veneer. fiber, lining, hinges,
bolts and crew n all fitted TO-
Rether in the proper proportions "a
make q trunk. the finished product
is prepared for shipment. A trunk
is put up very much like a breakfast
food. Each m is wrapped first
in oiled paper and then in heavy
wrapping paper. Dampnesg In the
express cars might cause a trunk &c
sweat If the oiled paper did moi
protect it. Suitcases are also put
up in carton like packages and
stored away by the thousands Il
await shipping.

having the two prisoners sign an i'm
