_ This Company is formed for the purpose of manufacturing
Cocoa-N tit F bre Mats and Matting, under Letters Patent
granted to Georf.fe Davies. dated the 24th April. 1862.
The n
= r-nc-Pal feature of Davies's Invention consists in the
improved
of the mat, and, owing to the mode of weaving,
great durp;oiiiiy is
manut ac', tire. given to the fabric at a reduced cost of
The superiorityou of articles manufactured by this process
the present method will be well understo d in the trade
-'en it is stated that matting of all descriptions, and car-
:"age and door mats, &c., have a thick fibrous pile upon the
vin ace 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 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 softer.
The Patent at the present time is being worked profitably
to a limited extent. . . .

wThr
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,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 be realised:—

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

secured the water-works of Arras, the chief town of the de-
