A single page from The Textile Mercury, 21 December 1889, in the Designing column. It presents Designs 16 to 19, with drawdown grids, for cotton dress fabrics and for woollen and worsted coatings and trouserings. The designs are double plain weaves in tan, red and white, and in blues, olive and brown, with 4-end twill grounds, warp and weft ribs, and corkscrew checks. Warp and weft colour orders, reed counts and picks per inch are given. The page also carries short notes on dyeing and tanning materials, bleaching Tussah silk, and dyeing woollens.
