FACTURING COMPANY (Lijixied) Have established a reputation for manufacturing all their goods from wool, all wool, and koteuxo but wool. TSE adulteration of Wool with plant fibre has been carried to an extent which the pablic does not suspect. Goods are made up 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, cr reduce the price, that it is difficult to detect tba fraud. To test tbe purity, hold a few threads to a flatno. Pare wool fuses to a shapeless mass before it is consumed leaving a shapeless sab, and extinguishes directly it is removed from the flame. Cotton burns steadily oa after removal from the flame, and the form of the thread is distinctly preserved in the ash. If the material be an admixture of wool and cotton it will burn 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 : Koko Koso. Pilose.
