THIS Company has been formed for the matting of the same description as that now purpose of making by power-looms straw produced by hand-looms in the neighbourhoo of Canton (China),
The export of Matting from China to the United States lus of late years become a most important trade, having risen in the last 30 year as follows:-
From 179,472 rells shipped in 1889/1890 370,107 rolls shipped in 1898/1899
To
but, as usual, the quality of the goods has fallen away with the increased demand, while prompt delivery, to contract time, has become increasing ly difficult.
Many attempts have been made to devise a loom which could be worked by steam to take the place of the ernde hand-looms, used by the Chinese and Japanese, but success has only been
by father inventions and improvements attained by a loom which became the property. of the Kobo Manufacturing Co. and which has since beou brought to a high sinto of perfection
The promoters of this Company, having experimented with a small trial plant of 50 of those power-looms and introduced various fur ther improvements suggested by their know. edge of the Matting trade and requirements of the market in the United States, are now satisfied that Matting made by such rachinery must supersede that made by hand-looms, and have accordingly entered into an agreement with the Kobo afanufactaring Co. to acquire all the nights to the invention.
