Fabrics include Calico under one yard, Simpson prints, Turkey Red, American prints, Shepherd prints, Fancy prints, Percales, Apron ginghams, Zephyr ginghams, Cheviot Shirtings, Silk Ginghams, Corduroy, Damask, Swiss, India linen, Sateen, Shirting, and more. The notice lists quantities and Loom End prices for each item, emphasizing dramatic discounts from regular prices and a focus on short lengths and loom-end stock. It also markets pins and spools with Loom End sale pricing.
