MATCH-MAKING BY MACHINERY.
A log of wood and a roll of paper are placed in a new match making machine, and when human hands next touch the material it is all bound up in packages containing one gross of boxes of matches, ready for the consumer. During the process the machine cuts the wood into proper lengths, sulphurs the ends, counts them, makes the paper boxes, prints the label on them, fills the boxes and packs them. The machine has been patented by a Norwegian company.
