PROSPECTUS. This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over a3 a "going concern," and continuing the working upon a very much enlarged scale of the Tanning business, situate adjacent to the City of Wellington, and known &a the property of Mr. J. Guilford (together with the whole of the stock, tools, and machinery now in his possession), which is situated at Beramphore, near Newtown, within three miles of the city, and has been in working order for the past seven years. The present proprietor has during that time been extensively manufacturing shoemakers' and saddlers' leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased facilities are necessary to meet the demand; and being convinced, after several yea-s of practical operations, that a Company with capital introducing the necessary machinery and skilled labour, will be able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. __ _ . , , " The agreement with the vendoi is to take the whole of the plant at a valuation, estimated to come to in all about £4,000, £1,000 of§which amount will he taken by him in paid up shares. The property consists of one acre of land, a new 10-H.P. engine and rolling gear complete, drying and scouring sheds, and about 30 excellently built pits, giving every facility for extensive operations; approached by a good macadamised road, and easy of access. , _- During the last few years an enormous demand has sprung up for all kinds of leather, the supply both for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. It is therefore intended, as soon as the Company is fairlyfloated, to lay down such increased stock and appliances as will meet these requirements, and to adopt such means as will secure for the Company's leather the first reputation throughout the whole of New Zealand. »,.,,,„ The business will be carried on by Mr J. Guilford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can be made with that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active management iof the Company. , . ~ ~.. The Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures showing probable profit— the fact is well known to all, that such a business, even moderately well managed, i-* bound to pay very handsomely ; and, when practical experience iscombined with large capital, as it will be in this case, the Company ghould prove an investment second to none in the colony. A large proportion of the capital ha 3 already been taken up by those interested in the Leather trade. Early applications ate therefore reqTprospectus and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Bankers, any of the Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherston-street, Wellington.
