A single printed sheet titled "Home Industry, the most direct road to National Prosperity," consisting of a patriotic poem urging the promotion of domestic manufactures. It encourages raising sheep and wool, growing flax and hemp, spinning, weaving and dyeing, and urges women to wear American homespun rather than foreign fashions. It also condemns idleness and charity that encourages sloth, and ties industry to liberty and independence. The text shown is the verse only; the proposals for a Boston manufacture named in the catalog title do not appear in it.

A 1768 broadside from Boston proposing a manufactory to employ the town's poor in making duck (sail cloth), and possibly check or plain linen, at the Manufactory-House on the Common. It reviews the town committee's reports and votes of late 1767 and January 1768, and describes the plan: about twenty-five looms producing 1400 to 1500 pieces of duck a year, yarn spun by women and children, and funding by subscription over seven years. It is signed by five undertakers and endorsed by seven Boston Select-Men, including John Hancock.
