Jaokbon, Esq. I E. Post, Esq. J. E. Evans, Esq. BANKEES: Bane op Australasia. SOLICITOES: Messrs. Bullee & Lewis. TEMPOBAEY OFFICES: Feathebston-stbeet, Wellington. SEORETAEY, PBO. TEM.: J. W. Ffbost. PEOSPECTUS. 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. Guilf ord (together with the whole of the Btock, tools and machinery now in his possession), which is situated at Beromphore, near Newtown, within three miles ef the city, and has been in working order for the past seven years. Tho present proprietor has during that time 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 necesßary 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 bun in paid np shares. 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. Daring the last few years an enormous demand has sprang up for all kinds of Leather, the supply both for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. It is 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 such means as will secure tor the Company's leather the first reputation throughout the whole of New Zealand. The busineßß will be carried on by Mr. J. Guilford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can be made with that gentleman for hiß valuable services in connection with the active management of the Company. Tbe Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures showing probable profit— the fact is well known to all, that such a business even moderately well managed, is bound to pay very handsomely; and, when practical experience is combined with large capital, as it will be in this case, the Company should prove an investment second to none in the Colony. A large proportion of the capital has already been token up by those interested in the Leather trade. Early applications are therefore requested. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be obtained from the Bankers, any of the Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherston-street, Wellington. Mr. C. K. Jeffs is appointed Canvasser and Collector to the above Company. J. W. Ffbost Sec, pro, tern. NEW ZEALAND LOAN AND MERCANTILR AGENCY COMPANY (Limited).
