Book 3 — Trunk Bookcase for Convenient Shipment
Reading edition
A Small Library may be Shipped Handily in This Bookcase
Mechanics, engineers, and other persons are sometimes engaged in work which keeps them at the same locality only a few months. Those who desire to carry with them a small library will find the trunk bookcase, as shown, convenient. It may be shipped as a trunk, and used as a bookcase in one’s hotel or dwelling. Other articles than books may be packed in it. The outside dimensions when closed are 31 by 18 by 18 in., providing for three shelves. It may be made of ³⁄₄-in. pine or whitewood, and stained, or covered with impregnated canvas. The outer corners are reinforced with metal corner plates, and suitable hardware is provided.—Lloyd C.
