THE DOMINION COOL STORKS LIMITED.

♦ AUTHORISED CAPITAL, £25,000. The demand for cool storage for apples, pears, and other fruit is so great that the spaco at the disposal of this company, in-the stores at Papanui, is inadequate to supply present re-' quircments. Enlargement to the ex- : tent of at least 50 per cent, over the present accommodation is urgently I necessary. AYlien the war is over and commercc | npain becomes normal, the export of i N cw Zealand apples, during the season, • will assume large proportions, and ul' most every steamer will carry out fruit to South America and England. To prepare for, and take a leading p ar j in this large and profitable business, is ! one of the principal objects of this, company. i The directors find it very desirable i to erect the additions to the plant and buildings as early as possible, and to provide the capital required hare decided to place COCO shares of £1 each upon the market, out of the unallotted authorised share capital. These shares will be open for application by the public, on and after Thursday, February US th. Applications for shares will be re-, ceived by the secretary, Mr -P.
