Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd

Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd is a company that makes really nice things out of cloth. They started making things like tablecloths and napkins a long time ago, in 1854! They are very good at making high-quality things that are fancy and look nice on a table. They use special techniques to weave the cloth together in a way that makes it strong and pretty.

You know how when you spill something on a tablecloth, it can make a big mess? Well, Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd makes tablecloths that are good at not letting spills soak into the cloth. They use a special process called "mercerizing" to toughen up the cloth and make it resist stains.

So, if you have a very special event, like a fancy dinner party, Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd would be a good place to get a tablecloth and napkins from. They even make really cool designs on the cloth. And the best part is, they've been doing it for a really long time so they're really good at it!
