When filling match box, place head of matches down

to bottom and do not force matches to obtain a snug

fit.

The match box is a plastic waterproof container with a screw-type

cap which has a striker on the side. When the match box is filled

with matches the striker plate should be covered with scrap paper

to prevent the matches from being inadvertently ignited when

removing or installing the cap on the box.
