curtains, lighting fixtures and car
pets were all especially selected and
designed for the Banner Blue Lin

taken to insure the quality.
LOCAL SALES LARGE.
Work from all over Texas is done
in this factory. The company is get
ting supplies and materials as well as
work by express. The folding box and
carton end of the box business here is
destined to continue to increase. The
market in San Antonio for folding
boxes and cartons is really great. The
demand of local firms is enormous.
San Antonians are giving homemade
products preference.
The paper box industry is one which
apparently is little known to the ma
jority of San Antonians. Contrary to
the belief of some this industry en-
ploys skilled labor. Fancy candy boxes
and dainty perfume boxes are manu-
featured and placed on the market
with the help of skilled San Antonio
girls.
Leo Singer is the president and
production manager; Max Kuehn, vice
president and sales manager, and
Glen Hartman. vice president and
manager. To the careful supervision
and ability Of these men to turn out
the higher work is attributed the
success of the Crown Paper Box and
Label Company. -

lieutenant 40 years ago, served two
years in a small post near Sospel on
the French-I Italian frontier. Second
Lieutenant Petain, whose resources
were rather slim. took his meals at a
modest inn kept by a young girl OF
remarkable beauty.
Recently Marshal Petain. repre-
senting the French army at the un-
yelling Of monument to the war
dead here, decided to take the trip
into the mountains and visit the
scene Of his garrison life as second
lieutenant. The marshal admitted to
his aides that he was anxious to see
how the former beauty of the inn
looked after 40 years.
He found both the inn and its
owner grown considerably larger.
Forty years had worked a great con-
trast, however. in their respective
appearance The inn, refreshed with
paint and reconstruction. had be-
come considerably younger, while all
the paint In the world could not hide
the havoc that the years had
wrought upon it's once fair owner.
Don't you recollect a second lieu
tenant called Petain who frequented
your place some 40 years ago." the
marshal asked of the old woman at
the end Of the meal when he saw
that she had failed to recognize him.
"Oh, yes" the landlady replied
simply. little Petain, why he must
be at least a captain by this time"

Machine to Weiub Co;ns

one of the most interesting con-
trlvances that the United States
mint uses IS the machine that weighs
coins of all denominations Form
erly each of these pieces had to be
weighed by hand. Seated at long
tables. each with balance in front
Of her, were 40 or so woman adjust
ers. 1t was their duty to weigh
each coin. \
Pieces that We're too heavy they
reduced with a file; those that were
too light they put aside to be sent
again to the melting pot. Gold
pieces they weighed twice, once in a
blank and once after coinage.
The weighing machines now in use
each have 10 balances. which are set
at the required weight of the coins
that are to be tested. Each machine
weighs 10 coins at time. If a coin
be too light, the scale beam moves
up and the coin is dropped into a
chute that carries it to the lights"
If it be too heavy the coin falls into
an other chute that leads to the
"heavies." If it just balances, the
coin drops among the coins that are
of the proper weight. The weighing
is done very rapidly and very accu-
rately.
There is some slight tolerance" In
the matter of weight. For example,
the gold double eagle should weigh
just SIG grains, but a coin of this
denomination may weigh as little as
