This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over as 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 as the property of Mr. J. Guilford (together with the whole oi the stock, tools and machinery now in his possession), which is situated at Beramphore, near Newtown, within three miles ef the city, and has been in working order for the past seven years. The present proprietor has during that tune 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 years of practical operations, that a Company with capital introducing the necessary machinery and skilled labor, will be able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. The agreement with the Vendor is to take the whole of the plant at a valuation, estimated to come to in all about £4000, £1000 of which amount will be taken by him in paid up shores. The property consists of one acre of land, a new 10-h.p. engine and rolling gear complete, drying and scouring sheds, and about thirty 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 Mew Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. It ifl therefore intended, as soon as the Company is fairly floated, to lay down such increased stock and appliances as will meet these requirements, and to adopt Buch meanß as will secure lor 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 con* be made with that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active manage' xnent of the Company. The Provisional Directors have not thoughi it advisable or necessary to prepare any ela borate statements of figures snowing probabh profit— the fact is well known to all, that such i business even moderately well managed, ii bound to pay very handsomely: and, whei practical experience is combined with larg< capital, as it will be in this case, the Company should prove an investment second to none it the Colony. A large proportion of the capital has already been taken up by those interested in th< Leather trade. Early applications are there fore requested. Prospectuses and Forms of Application fo: Shares may be obtained from the Bankers, an] of the Directors, or at the temporary offices o the Company, Featherston-street, Wellington. Mr. C. K. Jeffs is appointed Canvasser ant Collector to the above Company. J. W. Ffbost Sec, pro, tern. THE NEW ZEALAND LAND AND U^ COMPANY (LIMITED).
