WELLS & MiNEILL,

MANUFACTURERS OF

. IMPROVED PATENT FELT FOR 'SHEATHING
• SHIPS' BOTTOMS,
FACTORY AT LAMB'S BUILDINGS, BUNHILL-ROW,
Oce at No. 31, Clement's-lane, Lombard-street,
ffiLondon.
rrui PI present Manufacturers, (who have recently purchased
I' the Patent of this valuable concern.) in re-offering the
IMPROVED-PATENT SHEATHING FELT to the no-
tice of Ship Owners, Ship Builders, Railroad Companies,
Builders, and others, deem it unnecessary to say anything with
regard to the importance of such a material, as its character and
uses are now so well appreciated, particularly by Ship Builders,
that scarcely any ship proceeds to sea without it; and when it
is stated, that the Improved Patent Felt now offered does not
greatly exceed the expence of tarred brown paper, it may be
confidently expected that it will supersede the use of every ma-
terial for a like purpose now employed for sheathing Ships'
bottoms.

The Patent Sheathing Felt now submitted is made of a much
stronger and more fibrous texture than the Felt hitherto in usei,
and will bear much greater extension under water in the wo -
;lug and straining of a Ship ; and, added to its valuable p • er-
•ties-for resisting the worm, its compressed closeness an ough-
mess of fabric, combined with its evenness and u rimity of
surface, entirely remove the objections insepar• e from the
Felts hitherto in use, owing to the thickness equality, and
sponginesS'of their material, by which a quilti g or puckering
is produced, very detrimental to the nailing and even-wearing
of the copper, to say 'nothing of the risk of the nails drawing,
from the expansion of the old Felts when saturated with water.
The Felt now offered being entirely free from these serious ob-
jections, and the copper dressing on it so much better than on
any other, a greater degree of duiability and safety to the cop-
per sheathing itself, may, by its use, be reasonably inferred. It
likewise possesses the advantage of being easily separated after
being packed or laid together for any length of time, which is
an important consideration in shipping it to hot climates.
The price is now reduced to about one-fourth of the cost of
the old hand-made Felt, and to less than half the price of the
Felts now in use. It is manufactured in similar sized sheets to
those (3'2 inches wide by 20 inches long, and sold at FOUR
PENCE PER SHEET. It is also cut into sheets of double
and treble the above length, but it can likewise be deliiered in
a continuous roll of any extent, at the above Irroportionate cost,
and afterwards cut into any lengths required, by which means
the number of joints in laying it on, can be diminished at dis-
cretion, offering an immense increase of security wherever the
copper may be rubbed off.
A second description of a much thicker quality, adapted for
use under Wood Sheathing, is also manufactured in any-lengths
required
For Baling and-• Wrapping, the present Felt is impervious to
wet, and much cheaper ►han Tarpaulin. For Roofing, Out-
buildings, Sheds,-&c. it excels. either Sheathing or Roofing
Paper, being far more durable, and not liable to crack with the
changes of temperature.

rin 0 PREVENT AIL MISTAKES, and at the same time, reply to
JIL a question so frequently asked in his Establishment whether
his predecessor, Thomas Woolfield, has any iuterest in a concern
which it is attempted to establish opposite to hiln under a similar
le
name, considers it a duty he owes to his fri yrship and esteem to
state that Ttiomas WOOLFIELD is no lo er interested in any
business whatsoever, still less in one whi would be so contrary
to his principles of right towards his Successor.

thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, for the support that
has been so liberally continued to him during the past year ;

a prompt attention to their commands, and likewise by keeping
up the choive selection and manufacture of his goods, which, as
is now universally known, are of the very best quality and
work ma aship.
