PUBLIC NOTICES. ASSOCIATED LIVE STOCK AUCTIONEERS, LTD. rpHE undersigned Stock and Station Agency Companies have decided to form a subsidiary Company under the above name, to undertake the selling of live stock both privately and at auction in the Manawatu, Rangitikei, Wanganui and Wairarapa districts, or elsewhere. It has been apparent for some years that this business is conducted' on uneconomic lines. Right through New Zealand there are more Agents than the aggregate business warrants. The companies concerned are actuated by desire to give service to their clients; but it must be admitted that their activities overlap, with unsatisfactory results to themselves and doubtful benefit to their clients. Financial assistance to the exteilt ot millions of pounds is given to farmer clients, but the Companies do not receive therefrom even that net return ‘ which could be obtained from investment in giltedged securities, which entail neither risk nor effort. On the other hand, such sums are spent annually in salaries, motor-running expenses, very heavy taxation and other charges, that costs are out of all proportion to commissions earned. This state of affairs obviously must be changed. Three alternatives seom to present themselves, viz.; — (a) To increase the commission rates to farmers. (b) To lay up practically all motor-cars and leave farmers to bring their business to- the Stock Auctioneering Companies. These two courses, naturally, have been discarded as unfair to the farmer. ' There remains as the only acceptable alternative:— (c) To amalgamate to the extent set out herein and give farmers a fully efficient service at a lower cost to themselves. The Associated Live Stock Auctioneers, Ltd.; will undertake the selling of live stock on commission, whether at auction or privately, in saleyards or on the farms, ’and the drafting of fat stock for Freezing Works. The Company -will also conduct land agency business. The Head Office will be in Palmerston North, with Branch Offices and Agencies where needed. The directors will be representative of each of the constituent Companies and will appoint the staff from among their present employees. Only experienced Auctioneers will be employed, with a sufficient number of capable Agents, drafters and drovers to ensure the interests of all stock owners being adequately cared for. Yards will be maintained in a high state of efficiency and ample accommodation paddocks will be available. The Companies will continue individual operations in stud stock or horses and buying stock for export. As hitherto, they will retain their individual wool and produce businesses. 1 The financing of clients will be carried on, as hitherto, by the subscribing Companies individually, so that present financial arrangements need not be disturbed. Existing personal relations between those Companies and their clients will thus be maintained. The Associated Live Stock Auctioneers, Ltd., will not make advances, selling only on the usual terms of payment. The subscribing Companies will ensure that it has ample capital for its requirements; and, foi financial assistance, clients may apply to any of the subscribing Companies. It will be evident, therefore, that sales conducted by the Associated Live Stock Auctioneers, Ltd., will have behind them a volume of credit hitherto unequalled in the Dominion. It is confidently anticipated that the savings accruing from this rationalisation of business will enable commission rates to be reduced from the date of operation of the company, tentatively fixed as July 1 next. Full service—reduced rates for selling—saving of clients’ time and effort—con tinuance of financial assistance —maintenance of personal relations —these facts should ensure welcome and recognition by all farmers that the Associated Live Stock Auctioneers, Ltd., is a rational development by which they also will benefit.
