Alrnob VM, is employed kfor raising and lowering the door.V

The. side edges of .the door fit closely against the sides of the box, and when closed there will be no opening through which in-` sects can enter the box.

Small perforations N, N, in the sides of the box above and below said partition permit sufficient air to prevent mold from forming upon the baked articles in the box, but are not large enough to cause them to become dry.
