> "The Yorkshire manufacturers of mohair, who are principally in the
Bradford district, make it up into many fabrics, using with it cotton and
silk warps, and the stuffs so produced possess a singular beauty and
brilliance. Besides the great firms of Sir Titus Salt, Son, & Co.; John
Foster & Sons of Queensbury; and Messrs. Mitchell Brothers, of Bradford,
whose splendid works count in the first rank of the palaces of industry
which abound in the West Riding --- there are many manufacturers of this
wool scattered about and near Bradford, while both Norwich and Scotland are
competitors, but scarcely rivals, in the trade."
