The staff is prepared to investigate any products suitable

analytical and technical laboratories, aynsome,

Lancashire, September, igog. 



Dear Sir, 



I beg to send you a booklet, descriptive of these 

 Laboratories. Briefly, I may state that the Aynsome Labora- 

 tories are the largest private laboratories in the United 

 Kingdom, and specially equipped for dealing with and 

 reporting on Economic Products, both on a laboratory scale 

 and with the assistance of the model plant installed, from a 

 commercial and practical standpoint. 



Being particularly interested in the question of the 

 development of our British Colonies and Foreign Posses- 

 sions, and keenly alive to the importance of the furtherance 

 of such development, I venture to bring these Laboratories 

 under your notice, and shall be glad to hear from you 

 respecting such economic products as in your opinion call 

 for investigation. I am prepared to furnish you with a 

 preliminary report on any product of which you send me 

 a sample, free of cost, provided that freight charges be paid 

 on the same, and should the results of such preliminary 

 investigation show that the commodity might be utilised 

 commercially in one or more directions, I take it that you 

 would have no objection to putting me into communication 

 with those directly interested in its development. 



I may inform you that in the past I have investigated and 

 reported on various fibres for paper-making, submitting 

 samples of paper made therefrom on our model paper machine 

 (see pamphlets sent), gums and resins for varnish-making, 

 earth colours-oxides, ochres, umners, etc.. vegetable fats and 

 oily seeds for soap-making, siliceous earths, china, clays, 

 tannin products, and numerous other commodities found 

 in the as yet undeveloped parts of our Colonies in different 

 parts of the world. 



I therefore trust that you will file this communication for 

 future reference. 



I am, Sir, 

 Yours faithfully, 



(Sd.) J. Stewart Remington, 



Director.
