18th of April, 562 gross the 2nd day, which was Saturday, a half day, the
19th of April; 784 gross on Monday, which was April 21st; 1232 gross (that
was an exceptional day) were shipped on Tuesday April 22nd; 672 gross
shipped on Wednesday, April 23rd, and 957 gross shipped on Thursday, a very large day,
shipped on April 24th, a total of 4374 gross. Now, there is another little
slip of paper (Defendant's Exhibit 4AA) here that shows one of the most
complicated calculations in the entire financial, and I will explain it. It
shows the repack, and I notice an error on it here, it says here 4-17, when it
ought to be 4-18; in other words, it goes from 4-17 through 4-24. That re-
pack is gotten up by Miss Eula May; you will notice it is O.K.'d by her. Miss
Eula May Flowers, the forelady, packed that; that is the amount of pencils
used in our assortment boxes or display boxes. That is one of the tricks of
the trade, when we have some slow movers, some pencil that doesn't move very
fast, we take something that is fancy and put some new bright looking pen-
cils with them, with these slow movers. That is a trick that all manufacturers
use, and in packing these assortment boxes, which are packed under the di-
rection of Miss Flowers, we send into the shipping room and get some pen-
cils which have already been packed, pencils that have been on the shelf a year
for all we know, and bring them in and unpack them and re-pack them in
the display box. Therefore, it is very necessary in figuring out the financial
sheet to notice in detail the amount of goods packed and just how many of
those pencils had already been figured on some past financial report. We
don't want to record it twice, or else our totals will be incorrect. Therefore,
this little slip showing the amount of goods which were repacked is very
necessary. That was figured by me, and was figured by me on that Saturday
afternoon, April 22nd. There were 18 gross of 35-X pencils selling for $1.25;
18 gross for $22.50. It shows right here, I figured that out. That is my writ-
ing right down there. Eighteen gross 35-X, $1.25, $22.50; 10 gross of 930-X
figuring at $2.50; that added up, as you will see, to $70.00. In other words,
there were 46 gross of pencils, 36 gross of which sell in our medium price
goods; 86 gross 35-X; 10 gross 930-X, $2.50, that is a high price goods.
Therefore, the repack for that week was 36 gross medium priced goods and
10 gross of high price goods. I will show you now how the $70.00 is and
where the 36 gross is, and where the 10 gross is figured on the financial sheet.
There is a little sheet (Defendant's Exhibit 7AA) stuck up here in the corner
attached to the record-the factory record of pencils manufactured during
that week. That shows the production, divided into the following classes
(Defendant's Exhibit 7A); cheap goods, the very cheapest we make outside
of jobs, those we figure at 60 cents a gross. Then there is the rubber insert,
those we figure 85 cents a gross, and then the job and then the medium; the
medium being all goods up to a certain grade that contains the cheap lead,
and the good being all those that contain a better class of lead. In this case,
Mr. Schiff had entered it up to and through Wednesday, and had failed to
enter Thursday, and I had to enter Thursday and to figure it. This sheet
(Defendant's Exhibit 7A) shows the total of the three classes of goods packed
