De Telegraaf : 2 Jul 1896 (excerpt)
In October 1886 N Daamen was granted a Nuisance Act permit for a 'mechanical wool laundry, fluffing plant, etc' in which raw wool is washed, dried and fluffed.
In 1888 the laundry on the east side is expanded with a wool plot. The operation of the plot is described in the application for the Nuisance Act permit as 'Treating sheepskins in the same way as to remove the wool and further prepare, colour, dry, etc of the skins themselves'. The factory has a steam boiler of 50 and a steam engine of 40 hp. The company employs about 12 people: at the start only men and boys, later the ratio of men to women becomes approximately equal.
In 1904 the Tilburgsche Wolwasscherij N Daamen & Co continued in the Tilburgse Wolwasserij, NV. Its purpose is to "continue the laundry of woollen and related articles, until now operated under the firm of Tilburgsche Wolwasscherij N Daamen & Co".
