This Comnkny is formed for the purpose of manufacturin!
Cocoa-Nut F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Paten
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 understo:d in the trade
when it is stated that matting of all descriptions, and car-
riage and door mats, Ic., 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 rema n a source of complaint, the
patent process rendering the material and articles made of it
not only more durable, but much sotter.
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 business on a large scale.
The calculations made warrant the probability that the
profits will exceed 25 per cent., and as the manufartory 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

ket price), equal to .£llOB. per week per loom ;
