Issue no. 87 (15 March 1893) of a Belfast trade monthly for the Irish textile industries, mainly linen. It carries articles on the Ulster Sanitary Association, the industrial regeneration of Ireland, and the fourth instalment of a series on linen weaving (analysis of samples, with twill and drill weave plans and drafts). It also has trade reports on the making-up trades, the woollen, linen and cotton trades, and flax prices, plus a table of linen yarn and linen exports. A profile of J. N. Richardson, Sons & Owden and the Glenmore Bleachworks, an article on the Irish linen trade of the last century, and chemical and patent lists follow. Much of the issue is machinery and trade advertisements (spinning, looms, Jacquards, boilers, steamship lines), along with directories of flax spinners and linen manufacturers.
