FACTORING COMPANY (Limited) Have established a reputation for manufacturing all their goods from wool, all wool, and NOTHING BUT WOOL. THE adulteration of Wool with plant fibre has been carried to an extent which the public does not suspect. Goods are made np with all the appearance of wool (and sold as snch), but with a percentage of cotton so ingeniously mixed in order to enhance the profit, or reduce the price, that it is difficult to detect the fraud. To test tho parity, hold a few threads to a flame. Pure wool fuses to a shape’ess mass before it is consumed leaving a shapeless ash, and extinguishes directly it is removed from the flame. Cotton burns steadily on after removal from the flame, and the form of the thread ia distinctly preserved in the ash. If the material be an admixture of wool and cotton it will barn irregularly. The Company’s Goods are on view to the general public (but for sale only to wholesale houses) at their Warehouse, LAMBTON-QUAY, WELLINGTON. Works : KoeoEoeo, Pitose.
