Pryce Jones was clearly very good
at gaining publicity 
for his rapidly growing mail-order drapery
business. In 1862 he received an order
from Florence Nightingale, and promptly
used her name in his advertising material !
In the 1870s he took advantage of
the new railway lines which had reached Newtown, and started taking examples
of Newtown's famous
Welsh flannel to exhibitions in Europe and America and in later
years even to Australia.
