W. & R. Lewis

W. & R. LEWIS, Rope & Twine Manufacturers, 116 and 118, Broomielaw, Glasgow.

    In the great shipping centre the manufacture of ships’ cordage is, of a necessity, an important industry. The firm of W. & R. Lewis has for a considerable time been allied with this branch of business, and are very favourably known as producers of genuine and reliable goods. The manufactures of the firm comprise all descriptions of ropes, lines, cords, and twines in the various qualities of hemp and cotton. Messrs. Lewis’ connection is chiefly amongst shipowners, exporting houses, and local firms who buy for their own requirements, the constant repetition of whose orders indicates the satisfactory nature of their supplies.

    In addition to this business Messrs. Lewis have the management in Scotland of the business of Messrs. D. Anderson & Son, Limited, Tarred and Hair Felt and Silicate Cotton Manufacturers, Lagan Felt Works, Belfast. The manufactures of Messrs. Anderson are of the very highest class, and are known in almost every country. The Silicate Cotton blown by them is superior to anything of its kind in the market and has won the approval of all users of this article. As a non-conductor it is unsurpassed and has been adopted in H.M. Navy and by the leading shipowners for covering boilers and pipes, and by many eminent architects for fire-proofing buildings and deadening sound.

    Messrs. Lewis are at all times pleased to receive enquiries, and will gladly send samples and correspond with those interested in their manufactures.
