Description: |
| This crate design was manufactured by the machine in patent 410,784."My invention relates to an improvement in that form of crate or box employed to transport fruit or vegetables and other like materials to market, which crates or boxes must either be broken up or returned empty to the original shipper. Consequently it is desirable that the crates be so constructed that they may be folded up to occupy the least possible space when they are so returned." |
