However, under the decision of our appellate court in Lunham & Reeve, Inc. v. United States, 28 C. C. P. A. 268, no other course appears to be left open to us except to hold the instant merchandise, mere material, dutiable as “Articles or wares * * I, therefore, reluctantly join in the conclusion reached by my associates in this case, solely because of the Lunham case, supra.
