Statements having been put forth, first, that the cost of manufac-
ture of certain Ftench Candles, largely imported into this country, Is
greater than the selling price ; secondly, that the manufacture of
such candles in this country would infringe existing patents here ;
the Directors of the British Sperm Candle Company beg to say that
if such statements are intended to apply to this Company, they are
tot founded in fact.
First—They have fully satisfied themselves that the Candles hi-
therto manufactured and imported from France, and sold here under
the name of " Exhibition Sperm," are greatly superior in quality to
!1i.7 composite candles hitherto produced, a fact proved by the large
demand, exceeding several hundred tons, sold in this country and the
colonies, whicb, although charged with fully 20 per cent. extra on
the cost price in the shape of freight, duty, and charges, have yet
left a very satisfactory return.
Secondly—That as this 20 per cent. would be altogether saved by
theth raw
e manufacture of the candles in this country, and as the cost of
material here will be much less than abroad, with greater
economy in the manufacture itself, the Directors, supporte;t by the
report of their own engineer, after inspecting the works he Paris,
Have satisfied themselves that the manufacture and sale of the can-
'lles in this country will afford a very large per tentage on the capital
embarked.
Thirdly—Although the fact of the sale of the candles in this coun
trY for the last six months is in itself a demonstration of the validity
Of the patent, yet the Directors, before appealing to the public, took
the Precaution of consulting the first patent authority on this point,
and they have been fully advised that the patents for Great Britain
and the Colonies, securi'ig the peculiar process applicable to the
Manufacture of these candles, do not interfere with any other patent,
and are perfectly valid and subsisting.
