TAKING DOWN SHEETS WHEN DRY.

When the sheets are sufficiently dry, the warehouseman takes his peel

and begins with the last lift hung up, on account of the wrapper being

with that lift, and proceeds in the reverse order of hanging them up,

successively taking them down, and brushing them, if dusty, till he has

finished the whole.

Another way of taking the sheets down from the poles is, to lay the flat

side of the peel against the edge of that lift which hangs over the other

sheets, and push the peel forward, forcing them to slide, one lift over

another. But by this method the dust which settles on the sheets while

hanging is rubbed in.
