§7Ae Cement industry in /lew%eaJand MEW ZEALAND provides a I ' constantly developing ■ market for cement, and there - is ample proof that the grow- “ ing demand will continue to ( absorb outputs without difficulty. Hence The British Stan- piv B Hjij MW Mffl ' dard Portland Cement Ltd. ,/ B' L " should prove one of the most j ‘"W|||| l|iMw ffl'o profitable and successful under- | Js;| 111 18 takings of recent years—for W |[f j its properties at Whangarei com- -- “ bine so many factors in favour ,| jf 11 M||| [J ||ll f | huge scale; its facilities for JOJIMIMW manufacture so clearly conform 7 to every essential requirement; and its whole organisation is based, literally, on so concrete a z \ 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 B 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. Dd. to £5 12s. Od. per ton. The demand in the next few years for cement jdr for roads alone should furnish ample markets for the 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 S and farms ’ wi “ ca " for £78,100 Estimated Surplus Profit— A FnfprnrKP after 10° o dividend has been allowed for XTI All W 11 V A M Cost of production and distribution has been estimated at £3 oa. 3d. per ton f.o.b. at works. Cinn nirosnficts The present selling price of Cement in N.Z. is £5/2/- per ton, but UU/CLLd U.SIU pi bagii P the sellin{X b p h rice of cenient ag being possibly reduced to £4/10/- per ton, the estimated annual profit on 72,000 tons (after The British Standard Portland Cement Limited is not a Company allowing 10 per cent, for depreciation on cost of works, Md after organised over night nor formed as a speculative institution to paying a dividend on capital) would be £78,100. compete with existing companies regardless of any real utility or - • ' necessity. Behind it are years of detailed research, and close investigation by trained minds—by men favourably known and A \o T ■ j. fully experienced in every branch of the Cement industrj’ and in UlLerCol \JUCII rtllVvm commerce generally. -V They have analysed every factor—location, raw materials, fuel, 0 71 1 R/f * plant, power, water, transport; every detail as to cost of manu- yy VOUI* IVlOUey IH I*lo facture, labour, engineering, marketing, financing, freighting and * profits has been considered and they have “backed” the enterprise CntriM/rc Ranlz’ r by putting up £BO,OOO.
