TO my machinery, adopting all the modern improvements of
auiity-together with my own, from 30 years actual ex-
perience in the business Of cotton spinning, % of which
has been in the State OF Virginia also, by adding consi-
derable more new machinery 10 my establishment, | am
prepared 10 furnish Cotton Yarns more extensively than
heretofore, OF any number that may be called for, and at
prices equal, ii not cheaper, than any other establishment
IN the United States, (f reputation) Although my es-
adjustment Is not an incorporated one, nevertheless, 1 will
do as have above stated; it is also with no small portion
OF pride and gratitude, that 1 find my Yarns preferred for
their superior quality, to those OF other factories la tis
country. When l was at Swiii Creek Factory, owned by
Messrs. Bowden, Byrne & Co., the yarns then were al
lowe TO be superior TO any made in the country. 1 feel
no hesitation in saying, that they shall be the same now
try them and they will be found a superior article-no
mistake about them, and in order to prevent imposition, I
have introduced one thread Of blue yarn in the iye up. and
lea band OF every hank. And my Yarn is made up in sim
gle hanks, not two and three hanks twisted together, in
