Be it knownthat LMAURIOE Frrzensnons, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wooden Boxes; and do hereby declarethat the following is\ai`ull,=clear,.

and exact descriptionv of the 4construction and operation ofthe same, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings, making a part 'of thisfspeciication,

Figuren 'is-'a side' elevationA of a borg' a part 'ofthe side being removed, and f Figure 2'is a view in perspectiveof aA strip of my This invention consists in constructing boxes of a material composed of a strip of paper, having on each side, rrnly glued toit, a thin strip or sheet of wood,

by which construction the material is made strong,

elastic, and impervious to water, whether applied on the inside or outside of-the box.

In the drawings, Arepresents a strip', composed of two pieces of wood a a', glued, one to each side of a Astrip of paper, l.

. In iig. l, the material thus made is seen applied to the manufacture of a cylindrical box, but l do not design to limit its use to the manufacture of this particular form of box, outintend to applyit to the making of boxesof any form or size whatever.

To `prepare the 'stuft` forv use, thin sheets of wood are cut in sizes to suit the sheets of paper employed.

of the Asheet of paper, when the three are placedfun-l der a-press and left there till dry: The stud' is. then taken out and cutv into the shapes desired.

It is obvious that this material must be exceedingly thicknesses of paper, and to a material composed of a single strip' of wood with a sheet of paper glued to one sideof it. vOver both of the materials referred to, I

insistthat mine, herein-described, possesses importantadvantages, suchas vthat' it is stronger, firmer, and more durable, and that, havinga Wood surface, both insideand out, the box can be used for holding and transporting liquids, whileit is perfectly water-proof on its outside. Besides the' advantage of being less permeable by water, it does not becomev so quickly discolored. I do not here specify any particular species of wood as preferable for this use, as almost any kind will answer very well.

Having thus described my invention, Y Whatl claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isrk As an article of manufacture, a box, A, constructed of a material consisting of two sheets of wood, with one sheet of paper between them, the sheets' of wood and paper being glued together, substantially as herein described.

To the. above `specification of my improvement, I

. have signed my hand, this 27th day of August, 1868. These wooden sheets are then glued, one to each sidev A Mannion rrrzernnons. f Witnesses:
