Excerpt from Export Packing: A Guide to the Methods Employed by Successful Shippers The plan has been consistently followed throughout this book of having the men who are practically and intimately in touch with packing problems tell the story, whether these men be of national, even international reputation, such as Lieut. Colonel David T. Abercrombie, Mr. M. C. Fitz Gerald or Captain H. N. Knowlton, who have contributed special chapters, or whether they be those who are daily in touch with the problem in the great and small manufacturing establishments throughout the land. To a large extent my own work has been restricted to that of editor and has consisted in arranging and assembling the material at hand, and I am convinced that any book on packing to be of value must necessarily be written in this way. My thanks therefore are not alone due to the gentlemen who have been good enough to contribute signed chapters to this volume, and who have done so, let it be said, in a spirit of generous desire to assist foreign trade; my obligation is equally great to those public spirited men and organizations who have placed freely at my disposal not alone a wealth of photographic material, but have also given me the benefit of their best critical judgment both in reference to the packing problem in general and to their own individual work in particular. There is a great deal of material that might have been included in this volume which I have been compelled to omit because of mere physical limitations, for it would not have been at all difficult to have collected sufficient data to make two books of this size. However, such additional material would have been in certain instances a repetition of what we have, and I do not believe that any essential phase of the problem has been omitted.
