PAPER BOTTLES iN USE.

far as outside capital was concerned.
Since that time another company has
managed to push forward the idea with
some degree of prosperity. Now an
other company is about to be formed
and it viii have TO be a success. because
there is too much money behind the
concern to make it otherwise.
This manager was asked what paper
bottles were available for, and he an
swered quite promptly, if not altogether
sarcastically:
Everything that glass is used for"
Then he added: eve are now negotiatc
ing for the purchase of some OF the
fnest machinery to be found in a
newly established shop. We have this
to claim for our bottle. It cannot be
broken unless with UNI ecessary force.
That is just where the saving is to come
in. No more leakage or breakage, and
consequently less loss to not only the
consumer but the merchant as well.
We intend to make a big bad for the
foreign trade. The wine merchants OF
Europe lose al immense sum annually
through breakage in a ships hold CT
otherwise. No matter where the glass
bottles break, they are broken, and
the loss is just as great all around. We
ran make paper bottle for about one
half the cost OF glass bottles, and, in
addition, they will be found perfectly
watertight, as we'll as alright. We
have made innumerable experiments.
and in all of them we found that, while
It was comparatively easy to make
papier-mache alright around wine,
It was not so easy to do so in the case
of beer. Why this is so the brewers
may explain. But we have overcome
that difficulty, too. Another point that
should be remembered in the manu-
facture of paper bottles is that there
is little danger OF freezing. Still an
other is that in packing them away
absolutely no straw, waste or such is
required, and the absence Of these
means large saving in space In tbs
next few years you win find paper
bottles all over the world."-N. Y. Mail
