may be necessary for thier specific manufacturing
operations-whch the said propretors OF the Gulf

This is rate Of only about Fifth, flee hundred

But every dollar will be strictly and faithfully applied
10 the erection of Factory-purchase of machinery,
and to form business capital for the Company, as
may be seen by Section 9th of the Charter.
THE expense of the factory building, fore

The machinery will be capable of manufacturing
upwards of 5000 lbs. of paper per day--or about
500, 900 worth per year. Andalthough this amount
may seem large amount, yet when we consider the
vast daily consumption ofpaper in the United States,
should be inclined rather increase the capacity
