The business traded in cotton, calicoes, muslins and plain fabrics. Their manufactures for some years consisted of ginghams, checks, ticks, dowlases, calicoes and linens. Confusingly, linen and silk printed this way were known as "linen calicoes" and "silk calicoes". The principal articles made at present are checks, jeans, calicoes and fustians. One thousand antique blue calicoes and drawings were collected here.
