What an unsightly spectacle does a wood pile by the stove,
on the porch, or in the corner of the room present! It is a place
of refuge for all trash, such as old papers and rags. This not
only adds to the untidiness of the room or porch, but it makes
extra work for the already overworked woman. The wood box
made of old dry goods boxes should appeal strongly to the home.
It can be kept by the stove or on the porch or in some convenient
place to be reached, and to be filled by the man before he goes to
his daily work. A lid will not only cover up the contents of the
box, but it will serve as a comfortable seat to be used while
preparing the meal.
