Each jar or jelly glass must be wrapped in several thicknesses of soft
paper (newspapers will answer). Make pads of excelsior or hay by
spreading a thick layer between the folds of newspapers. Line the bottom
and sides of the box with these pads. Pack the fruit in the padded box.
Fill all the spaces between the jars with the packing material. If the
box is deep and a second layer of fruit is to go in, put thick
pasteboard or thin boards over the first layer and set the wrapped jars
on this. Fill all the spaces and cover the top with the packing
material. Nail on the cover and mark clearly: GLASS. THIS SIDE UP.
The great secret in packing is to fill every particle of space so that
nothing can move.
