After passing two months with his family, Richard returned RICHARD LENOIR. 245 to Paris, and to his former trade now added that of a lapidary, which he found extremely profitable. Chance brought him into contact with a young merchant named Lenoir Dufresne. Both had resolved to buy the same piece of English cloth. Being pleased with each other, they bought it together, and soon after entered into a partnership, which was only dissolved by the death of Lenoir Dufresne. Their establishment attract...ed such crowds of purchasers, that at the end of six months their sales amounted to fifteen hundred francs a day, and at the expiration of a year, their daily receipts rose to the sum of 4, 000 francs. Finally, when they made their inventory in fourteen months, they ascertained that the 6, 000 francs they had invested in the business had produced a revenue of 112, 000 francs. Their great profit was upon English goods. " The time had now come, " says a well-informed biographer, " for Richard to become himself the manufacturer of the cotton stuffs, in which he had so long speculated and with so much success.
