This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing
Coon- Vut F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent
granted to George Davies, dated the 24th April. 1862.
The principal feature of Da, ies's Invention consists in the
improved pile of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving,
great d.irability is given to the fabric at a reduced cost• of
man of act ore.
The sup eriorit of articles manufactured by this process
over the presentmethod will be well ondersto d in the trade
When it is stated that matting of all descrip ions, and ear-
Tirf
"ge and door mats, Ar.c., have a thick fibrous pile upon the
surface hitherto unattained.
The ontinually extendir g demand for articles made of Cocoa
fibre will be gr atly stimulated by the introduction of the
Patent process into the ma,,utacture. The harshness hitherto
complained of in matting'made of this material in the ordi-
nary meth,cl will no longer rema-n a aource.of complaint, the
patent process rendering the material and articles made of it
not 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 bueine-s on a large scale.
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 he realised :
£ s. d.
60 Looms, producing 30ft. Mats per day, at 2d. ,
per foot profit (when sold at the lowest mar-
ket price), equal to Ll.los. per week per loom;
atter allowing for stoppages, &e., say XI per
week per lo,m, equal to per annum .. 3,120 0 0
