We must have sharp eyes, in these days of resumption of manufactures, not to allow our Customers to be imposed upon, by taking into our qtocks linens that are part cotton, or cloths of silk' that are part glue and of only half value to those who use them. Some countries require silks heavily sized. They are sold to people who do not know that they are inferior and not all silk.
