Picnic Equipment

Picnic Equipment.

Any confirmed picnic enthusiast must covet one of the new picnic cases, fitted with expanding sandwich tins, thermos flasks, and the new unbreakable ware in complete sets for from two to six people. Even if you cannot obtain one of these, set aside a box or a corner of the kitchen cabinet at home for picnic gear. If you like to “boil the billy” you will need bottles of varying sizes with screw tops for milk, the billy, and tins of suitable sizes for sugar and tea. Small spice tins are handy for salt and pepper. If you have to consider the weight of the picnic basket, keep a supply of cardboard plates and goblets on your picnic shelf. Paper tablecloths and table napkins, and grease proof paper for wrapping sandwiches, should also find a place. The packing of a picnic lunch is no longer a problem when all the necessary jars and tins are waiting for you to fill them.
