He <br />stated that the concern was a corporation consisting of two <br />members, James Carpenter of 5 Sunn% Knoll Ave., Lexington, <br />and Charles S. Powers -of Weymouth. He stated that during the <br />past year this concern has been approached on different <br />occasiona by various box manufacturers who are between six <br />and seven weeks behind in filling orders for vital war export <br />purposes. The McElroy Manufacturing Company of Boston prevailed <br />upon these individuals to manufacture boxes ordered by the <br />United States Army to ship replacement parts for equipment in <br />thiscountry and the entire war zone. <br />Mr. 'i'ropeano stated that Mr. Carpenter had endeavored to <br />locate a suitable place in several surrounding towns xnd was <br />unable to do so.

He <br />stated that at night, some part time help is engaged to nail <br />the boxes. They have two hand operated saws and a roller or <br />conveyer operated by hand. The boxes are nailed by hand. <br />
