Book 3 — Wood Box with a Refuse-Catching Drawer

The Wood Receptacle Has a Drawer Bottom for Catching the Dirt, Which can be Easily Cleaned

The ordinary wood box may be greatly improved by adding a drawer at the top and one at the bottom, as shown in the sketch. The upper drawer is used for storing the flatirons and stove-polishing materials, and the lower drawer is the bottom of the wood box. The dirt and pieces falling from the wood remain in the drawer, which can be removed and cleaned easily.—Contributed by William Jutila, Astoria, Ore.
