Carlow

5th .... 1877

Dear reader,

At the request of numerous friends I have made arrangements to resume practice as Consulting and Mechanical Engineer and Surveyor. I have had twenty-five years' experience, chiefly in the English and Scotch Mill Work, also in the manufacture of Turbines, Waterwheels, Portable and Fixed Engines, Corn and Flour Dressing Machinery, Threshing and Finishing Machines, Saw Mills & c., and am myself interested in several patent machines, which I shall be glad to introduce. Having erected workshops in a central position, fitted with the most modern self-acting tools and appliances, I hope by personal supervision, promptitude and good workmanship to secure your patronage if favoured with a trial.

I am yours faithfully,
THOMAS THOMPSON

PS - Letters or Orders addresses to the Workshop, New Garden, will have my best attention.

The firm moved to Hanover Works in 1904. For interest the firm moved back to New Acre in 2005.
