I first thoroughly dissolve the litharge, resin, and lac together in the spirit in
a vessel placed in a water bath at about 100°. The glue previously soaked in soft
cold water (in the proportion of 1lb of glue to 1 part of water) until the glue has
absorbed all, the water is then heated in a glue pot or other water bath together
with the silicate of soda, until it is thoroughly liquefied. The glue, chalk, and lead,
are then mixed together and stirred, and then added to the solution of litharge,
resin, and lac in spirit, and the whole thoroughly incorporated by stiriing. The

by a coating of white hard varnish.
The above composition is white, but it may be colored by omitting the carbonate
of lead and substituting any of the various aniline colors. The aniline in crystals
is dissolved in nitric acid and added in place of the lead, as above mentioned.

CONTAINING POMATUM, OINTMENT, AND OTHER GREASY SUBSTANCES."
My Invention relates to a new article of manufacture; that is to say, grease
proof wooden box suitable for containing pomatum, ointment, and other greasy
substances for which glass, porcelain, or carthenware pots are now used.
The box of my Invention is light and not liable to be broken by a fall, and is
moreover considerably cheaper than porcelain or earthenware pots, which are heavy
and easily fractured.
The improved box and its cover or lid are each turned out of a solid piece
of any ordinary wood in the usual way of making wooden boxos, and then lined
with a grease proof composition or enamel prepared in the following manner :-
I take of
Litharge

I first thoroughly dissolve the litharge, resin, and lac together in the spirit in a
vessel placed in a water bath at about 100° Fah. Tho glue previously soaked in
soft cold water (in the proportion of 1 lb of glue to 1 pint of water) until the glue
has absorbed all the water, is then heated in a glue pot or other water bath together
with the silicate of soda, until it is thoroughly liquefied. The glue, chalk, and
lead are mixed together, and then stirred and added to the solution of litharge,
resin, and lac in spirit, and the whole thoroughly incorporated by stirring. The
composition is applied to the interior of the box and its cover at a temperature of
about 90°, and when dry may be glazed by a coating of white hard varnish.
The above composition is white, but it may be colored by omitting the carbonate
of lead and substituting any of the various aniline colors. The aniline in crystals
is dissolved in nitric acid and added in place of the lead, as above mentioned.
Having described the nature of my said Invention, and the manner of performing
the same, I declare that what I claim as the Invention to be protected by the
herein-before in part recited Letters Patent is, a wooden box lined with a grease
proof enamel or composition for containing pomatum, ointment, and other greasy
substances, as herein described.
In witness whereof, I, the said John Rogers, have hereunto set_my_hand
hand and seal, this Sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord One
thousand night hundred and cavant" Savan
