The staff is prepared to investigate any products suitable 
for any part of such manufactures. 
Analytical and Technical Laboratories, aynsome, 
Grange-Over-Sands, 
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, unmers, 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.
