1767-Feb.-04: A new manufacturing company with exclusive privileges was established in the village of Ormoy near Etampes to produce gold and silver-plated copper wire. This industrial development, located along the route to Fontainebleau, reflected the French state’s continued efforts to diversify its domestic manufacturing sector. Such technical advancements were publicized in the colonial gazette to inform local merchants of new sources for luxury goods and metallic threads. The growth of these specialized industries was seen as a key component of national economic strength in the mid-eighteenth century.
