Stevenson's first railway engine , the “ Rocket fis preserved for the curious eyes of posterity. In the museums of Australia 7vill be treasured blooms from the first crop of Australian cotton and with them samples of fabrics into 'which the first crop 'was woven. These things will be stored up for all time SINCE the pioneer days of Australia’s history Horrockses have supplied cotton fabrics to her housewives. Indeed, there are many well authenticated instances occurring in the early days where Horrockses Longcloth was offered and accepted in place of and as equivalent to the ordinary currency. It is with justifiable pride that- Horrockses crown this long association by producing the first fabrics woven from Australian home-grown cotton. Part of the first crop of Dawson Valley cotton exhibited in Australia last year was dispatched to the famous mills of Horrockses at Preston, and proved in manufacture to fully maintain the quality of their standard cloth. The House of Horrockses congratulate the pioneers of Australia’s new industry, believing that their enterprise marks not only an epoch in the history of the Commonwealth but also constitutes an event of vast potentialities in the development of the cotton industry. The first shipment of Horrockses fabrics made from the first Australian cotton crop arrived in Sydney in March. Now supplies are available to enable housewives throughout the Continent to secure fabrics that not only maintain the high standard always associated with the name Horrockses, but have also added * value in their .historical interest.
