PAPER BOTTLES.

. 4 novel and important industry; lias of: late sprung up in Chicago, whence it is spreading to other parts of United.. States, and is now being introduced into. England. This is the mamjj&wtuw ,of paper bottles by a process whioh' is; the' invention of. Mr L. H. Thomas;, of'. Chicago. Theae bottles are unbreakable \ and of various shapes and sizes, suited to the requirements of, the trades and manufactures using suoh artioles. They are produced very much mora than the ordinary bottles made of class, stoneware, and tin. They are made/by. speoial machinery, and in their manufacture a large sheet of paper,- tfued or eemented on one side, is rolled on amandrel into a tube of any required length, thioknets, and diameter. An : outer glazed covering, which consists of colored labels or inscriptions;;for the'-' bottles, iB then glued on the tube* which is afterwards cut up -into the required lengths for a given number of bottles. The tops in some cases are of wood, and.in others of paper, are theu cemented in,' imd tie necks of the bottles, where necks are* required,; are secured; , The interiors off the bottles are then lined with,:a fluid? composition, whioh; sets hard, and will resist acids and spirits. Irrespective of the low cost of these paper bottles, they have the advantage of being unbreakable and of not requiring any packing-material in transit, while, the weipht being greatly, reduced as. against that of Ordinary bottles, there is a saving in -the cost of freight.
