2. The combination of a unitary packaging container, comprising an elongated cylindrical sheet metal can, a removable closure for one end thereof, a liquid containing can adapted to be inserted within the other end thereof and being substantially less in length than the length of said cylindrical can and being complementary in shape and of such a diameter as to have a tight frictional fit therein, said cylindrical can being provided with an inwardly extending bead to engage and support the bottom of said liquid can, and the edge of the upper end of said cylindrical can being bent over the edge of the upper end of said liquid can to securely hold the same in position, whereby a liquid polish or cleaner and accessories such as cloths may be packed within a single unitary container.

3. A composite container for a liquid polish or cleaner and the accessories to be used in connection therewith, comprising an elongated metal can having a removable closure for one end thereof, a liquid containing can adapted to be inserted within one end portion of said elongated can and being substantially less in length than said elongated can, said liquid containing can being complementary in shape to said elongated can and having a tight frictional fit therein, said elongated can being provided with an inwardly rolled bead in an intermediate portion to engage and support the bottom of said liquid can, the edge of the upper end of the elongated can being secured to the edge of the upper end of the liquid can, the bottom of the liquid can forming an end wall for the compartment to receive the polishing and cleaning accessories such as cloths, said removable closure forming the other end wall for said compartment.

4. A composite container comprising a main can or casing of sufiicient size to hold a liquid tight can and also to hold polishing and cleaning accessories such as cloths and the like, a liquid tight can less in length than and complementary in shape to said main can or casing and frictionally fitting within one end thereof, means on said main can or casing to engage the top andbottom edges of said liquid tight can to securely hold the same in position within said main can or casing, the bottom of said liquid tight can forming an intermediate partition to provide a compartment to receive said cleaning and polishing accessories, and a removable closure for said compartment.

5. A container comprising an elongated metal can, a, separate liquid tight container less in length than and complementary in shape to said main can or casing and frictionally fitting within the same, said separate container being provided with an annular bead at both its top and bottom edges, the upper edge of the main can or casing being turned over the upper edge bead of the separate container, a bead extending inwardly in an intermediate portion of said main can or container to engage the lower edge bead of said separate container, and a removable closure for closing the other end of said main can or casing to permit access to the compartment provided between the bottom of the separate container and said last mentioned end of the main body or casing.

6. A device of he character described, comprising an elongated main metal can or container, a separate liquid tight container less in length than and complementary in shape to said main can or container and fitting within the same, said separate container being provided with an annular bead at both its top and bottom edges, said main can or container being provided with means for engagin said beads on said separate container, and a removable closure for the other end of said main can or container to permit access to a compartment provided between the bottom of the separate container and said last mentioned end of the main can or container.

7. A composite container of the character described, comprising a main can or container and having a removable cap at one end, a separate liquid container less in length than said main container and inserted into one end thereof, the bottom of said liquid container forming the end of a compartment within which polishing and cleaning accessories such as cloths and the like may be stored and held by said removable cap, said main container being provided with means for engaging the top and bottom portions of said separate container to securely hold the same in position in said main container.
