shown in Fig. 2, which prevents the articles I becomingentangled-and facilitates their removal singly Y from the package by being pulled out without disturbing-the other articles in the package.

As the wrapper A is of less width than the length of the inclosed articles, theyare readily disclosedwhenlthe package isppeped.

'the folded parts are held to the body thereof inner wrapper is secured to tho outer'wrap- .per by paste 0l' mucilage', as indicated at I in dotted lines in Figs. 4 and 5, to prevent the accidental removal of the package from the outer wrapper.

Byseparating the articles on the inner wrap-'v perinto small heaps the package can readily the package is ready for transportation, the

stock-room, or the retail store, and when wanted for use the end adjacent to the perforations E is removed by breaking the fragile conlhe package inclosed in the wrapper A is encircled by means of elastic bands 0 to senections between the perforations, when the ends of the articles in the package are exposed and accessible to the user for pulling out as required, and the package is held intactuntil all the articles have been removed.-
