3103. What dyers do you send them to?-P. & P. Campbell, Cockburn Street, Edinburgh.
3104. What is their charge for dyeing?-I think it 1s. 6d.; but they give 5 per cent. off at the end of the season.
3105. Coming to the English wool; I see there are four dozen black veils No. 5s. 33s., made with English wool: what quantity of wool is required to make dozen of these?-It requires about 3 oz. for a dozen, or about a quarter oz. to make a single veil.
3106. Do you sell that wool by the ounce or the pound?-We buy it by the pound, at 32s. 6d.
3107. Then 3 oz. would cost about 6s.?-Yes; a fraction over that. We don't give them to the knitters here; we give them to a person in the country, who gets them knitted for us. We pay 14s. for the knitting of them to that person in the country.
3108. Is there any particular reason for employing a party in the country for that kind of goods?-We think we can get them better done in that district of the country.
3109. Where is that?-In Unst.
3110. Who is your agent there?-It is a private person. I would rather not tell her name in public.
3111. What is the expense of dressing these veils?-1s. 6d. a dozen.
3112. Does the same proportion of them require dyeing as in the other case?-No; none of these require dyeing, because they are black.
