SUIT CASES AND TRAVELING BAGS.

Several of the larger paper box manufacturing concerns are making suit cases and traveling bags as a side line in addition to the regular lines of paper boxes. These suit cases and traveling bags are of the lower-priced variety, no genuine leather entering into their production. The inside of the cases and bags is of heavy chip-board, lined with leatherette paper. The outside is covered with heavy “leatheroid.” Iron frames are essential in the cases, and the material is held together with copper or brass rivets. This is a specialty line which should have the consideration of many other box-makers who have plants equipped for the production of such work.
