My dad used to store his magazines in the large corn flakes boxes, he would paint over the sides in blackboard paint, and mark what was in each box. One box stored one year, or so. He had a dot system for reference, from 1-5 red dots, with 5 dots being important. I think most of his boxes had 5 dots. I have the bookcase where he stored these boxes, he made it 50 years ago out of packing crates. The magazines are long gone, he would have been 98 years old this past Feb. 7.
