npHE success which has attended the -*- establishment of the Mosgiel Woollen Factory under the provisions of the Joint Stock Co.'s Act, and the greater facilities and extent to which such undertakings can be conducted by a Company as compared with a private individual, has led to the project of the formation of a Company, with a -view to the purchase of the Tokomairiro Pottery Works, now owned by Mr W. M. White, and conducting the manufacture of Pottery and Earthenware ! upon a scale somewhat commensurate with a large market presented in NewZealand and the other Australian Colonies j this being the only Pottery Work established in the Southern Hemisphere. The present works were commenced by Mr W. M. White about a year ago, since which time he has disposed oH over £3000 worth of Salt Glaze Pipes alone, the market for which is steadily on the increase, and beyond the present producing powers of the Establishment.; During this period Mr White has also devoted a considerable portion of his time and attention to the preparation of the necessary buildings and plant for the manufacture of all classes of Staffordshire Potteryware upon the most approved principles and latest improvements in machinery used in Staffordshire, and recognised as the best and most economical in the world. The property is situated in the centre of Milton. Mr W. M. White has now ready for market large supplies of saleable articles for g-eneral and domestic purposes. The present time is, therefore, considered by the projectors of- this Company the most favorable opportunity for entering upon the possession of the Works, and pushing the manufacture and sale of Potteryware in this and the adjoining Colonies. An estimate of the nature and extent of the -available market may be arrived.at from the fact, that the value of such imports into New ZeaUand alone for the year ending December, last amounted to of whichOtago alone imported £-23,000 worth of Pottery ware. ! The Promoters have every confidence, that they will be enabled to supply the whole Colonial Market with any article in Potteryware, at a figure sufficiently low to compete successfully with the' home article, while securing 1 ; a . large margin of profit to the Company, who, have secured the services, asmanagerj of Mr Chetham, for 30 -years : proprietoi* lofone of the largest English Potteries land practically acquainted with the I various^ processes* adapted in every jbranch of the trade..
