This Compeny is formed for the purpose of manufacturing
Cocoa-Nut F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent
granted to George Davies. dated the 24th April. 1862.
The principal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the
improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving,
great durability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost of
manufacture.
The superiority of articles manufactured by this process
over the present method will be well understood in the trade
when it is stated that matting of all descriptions, and car-
riage and door mats, dro., have a thick fibrous pile upon the
surface hitherto unattained.
The continually extending demand for articles made of Cocoa
fibre will be greatly stimulated by the introduction of the
patent process into the manufacture. The harshness hitherto
complained of in matting, made of this material in the ordi-
nary method will no longer reman a source of complaint, the
Patent process rendering the material and articles made of it
nr,t only more durable, but much softer.
The Patent at the present time is being worked profitably
'to a limited extent.
The proposed Capital will be ample for the payment of the
purchase money for the patent, for looms and other plant,
and for working the busine.is on a large scele.
The calculations made warrant the probability that the
profits will exceed 25 per cent., and as the manufactory re-
quired is of a simple and inexpensive character, the works
will be in operation, and profits will be realised, within three
months after allotment of shares.
The following is an Estimate of Profits to be realised:—
£ d.
60 Loorna, producing 30ft. Mats per day, at 2d. s.
wet' foot profit (when sold at the lowest mar-
ket price), equal to LllOB. per week per loom ;
after allowing for stoppages, &c., say 1 per
week per loom, equal to per annum .. .. 3,120 0 0
