• a central vertical post secured to said base inside said cup-shaped member,
• a spool carrying a length of wire, or the like, rotatably mounted on said post within said cup-shaped member, the leading end of said wire extending out of said cup-shaped member from said spool through said opening in said side wall,
• said closure cap being removably seated on the upper rim of said side wall and forming a tight fit therewith, and
• a cutting mechanism secured to the top surface of said extension of said base member and generally aligned with said opening in said side wall so that said wire can be fed directly thereto and a length can be cut therefrom, said cutter comprising a first plate and a second plate disposed on the top surface of said extension generally parallel to each other with a small space between them, said plates being disposed generally transverse to the path of said wire from said spool and out of said opening to said cutting mechanism,
