CM? Gment industry in s' ~ s' A TEW ZEALAND provides a constantly developing market for cement, and there F is ample proof that the growing demand will continue to ( y absorb outputs without difficulty. Hence The British Stan- 1 piA dard Portland Cement Ltd. should prove one of the most /'jf W profitable and successful under- —ILJ takings of recent years—for M|l | g[| ff jj its properties at Whangarei com- 1 B bine so many factors in favour . | |p|iMl IMI manufacture so clearly conform > to every essential requirement; ’ and its whole organisation is >O 7^ LDIN6S based, literally, on so concrete a 4 \ foundation in all respects. 163 per cent. Increase since 1920 For proof, look, first at the growth of the industry in N.Z. According to the 1926 census N.Z. has a population of 1,407,165 including Maoris, an increase of 164,769 since 1920, or about 13 per cent. In 1920 the total output of N.Z. lime and cement products was officially valued at £367,874. By the end of March 1925 the value had risen to £965,997, an increase of £598,123, or approximately 163 per cent., as against the 13 per cent increase in population—although the prices have steadily dropped from £7 2s. Od. to £5 12s. Od. per ton. Hie demand in the next few years for cement for roads alone should furnish ample markets for the ROADS whole of the new Company’s output,. In addition, various water projects, bridges, tunnels, dams, and other engineering developments, as well as a big demand for cement office buildings, houses and farms, will call for gWQ Estimated Sur „l us p ro f lfc __ cement in unlimited quantities. r AM r • after 107 dividend has been allowed for A JNew Enterprise -Cost of production and distribution has been estimated at £S oa.
