There are also a number of small establishments about the country 

 employing from two to five hands each. 



This estimate shows an increase of capital employed since the last 

 report of over $400,000, but it must not be understood that this is the 

 actual increase since that time, as in fact there were some of the above 

 mentioned establishments in operation at the date of the last report. 

 It is certain that this branch of trade is rapidly increasing, and that 

 most of the goods that have been produced by these manufactories 

 during the past season, have found a ready sale, and at fair living 

 prices. We do not think it proper to state here the profits arising 

 from this branch of manufacture; but it is enough to say that they are 

 second to none other in the United States. We would also observe 

 that public attention has been much directed toward this branch of 

 domestic manufacture during the past year. 



We would invite your attention particularly to the newly invent- 

 ed article of Shirred Goods. This article is said to have originated 

 with Charles Goodyear, Esq., and by him patented in the United 

 States and all of Europe. Mr. G. has spent a number of years of 

 incessant toil to bring this article to perfection ; he has accomplished 

 it, and is entitled to the thanks of a discerning public, and the high- 

 est premium that can be awarded by the American Institute. It is an 

 invention of vast importance to the country, and there is no doubt 

 that w^hen the w^ants of our own country are supplied with this arti- 

 cle, a vast quantity will be exported annually, for it is an article that 

 is brought into daily use among all classes of society. 



The next article worthy of particular attention, is the specimen of 

 Floor Cloth. This article will ultimately take the place of Painted 

 Floor Cloth, and we hope and trust that within the next twelve 

 months, the foreign painted Floor Cloth cannot be imported against 

 this domestic and far superior article ; it can be afforded much cheap- 

 er than the common painted cloth, and offers to every housekeeper a 

 good, serviceable American article. This is also an invention of 

 Charles Goodyear, and has cost him much time and money to per- 

 fect.
