[See advertisement on fourth page.] THE GENUINE Waterbury Watch is sold by the Agents, who are the only Firm authorised by the Waterbury Watch Company to 801 l their Watch, and the only Firm to whom they supply them at 13s 6d each, and the publlo will do well to confine their purchases to them. The Company regret that it is necessary to warn tho public against purchasing worthless imitations at a few shillings less. There is only one genuine Waterbury, and its price is 13s 6d. Many imitations, however, are so close that tho publio arc frequently deceived, to their immediate loßs and disappointment. SOLE AGENTS : RUDDOCK AND FRYER, NAPIER, 950 TO THE SHEEP-FARMERS OF HAWKE'S BAY. /ZJ.ENTLEMEN,— It is now nearly a VX year since your combined effort was made to settle definitely a fixed rate of meat freight, when you appointed Mr Dobson to carry out your wishes. The rosult o£ your action has been the formation of tho "Colonial Union Company," with which Company we are glad to be able to inform you we have made arrangements that have. enabled us to take up the contract which you authorised Mr Dobson to mako on your behalf. The most interesting provision in.' the contract is that which provides that for the next threo years wo have to take delivery of your sheop, "kill, freeze, bag, ship, insure, pay freight, store, sell, and render account sales " at the rate of 23d per lb, instead of 3Jd, which was the best wo could undertake for you this timo last year. This will show a reduction of from 2s to 2s 6d per head. The minor details of the contract will be put bofore you shortly. Wo think it only fair to ourselves to point out that the whole expense ot Mr Dobson's mission to England has been borne by us, and although we naturally hope to benofit by the reduced rate, wo think wo are entitled to the support of every Sheepowner in the Provinco, whether his name is on the guarantee or not, as had it not been for our action taken at tho request of a number of tho guarantors tho rate would certainly not now luivo been reducod, and should the Shipping Company, whoso business we have undertaken, not be supported to tho fullest extent, we may look forward at the expiry of our contract to a return of the old rates ; if not worse. In answer to numerous questions recently asked us wo beg to make the following statements :— 1. "Wo are prepared to deal (when offered) with every available sheep in tho Province, whether on tho guaranteo or not, provided they are booked sufficiently early to allow, freight ar- . rangements to bo concluded." To help you in forming an opinion ns to tho accuracy of our statement, we may tell you that our works are now of such proportions as to enable us to freeze comfortably THIRTY thousand (30,000) shoep per month, and if pressed, and shipping space bo procurable, we can freezo thibty-six thousand (36,000) per month. These figures show that should it become necessary wo can freeze all available sheep in the Provinco during tho spaco of five months, but as experience has taught us that sheep are ottering from October (o June, we have eight months instead of five to get through our work, and it is improbable that any ono month's requirements would oxoeed 3ti,000. Before leaving this question we may add that tho past season has been held up to us as a proof that wo can not do all the work required o£ us. Our answer to that is, that in the past season we have taken ovory sheep booked on the day fixed by the owner, and in many cases earlior, but. where sheop wore not booked tho detlcionoy of freight space became a difficulty. This difficulty has now been ro-' ■moved by your own action in introducing tho ' Colonial Union." We would also point out that the exceptional diftlouitios of tho past season were reduced to a minimum by our providing additional machinery and storago accommodation, and that wo did so with a full knowledge that owing to tho non-existence of freight we should have to keop 28,000 sheep stored for a considerable period. 2. " We are not proposing to use sheop owned by non-guarantors (as ifhas boon put to us) as ' stop-gaps," but wo are at the prosent moment prepared to absolutely guarantee to tako any shocp owned oy either guarantors or nonguarantors in any numbers or at any dates that may be desirod, and on tho same terms, with the one condition that all bookings for the coming season shall bo made by the 15th July next, a provision found necessary by all companies throughout Now Zealand to prevent risk of failuro in procuring freight and to cnnblo shipping companies to allocate their apuce. Wo would call your special attention to this mattor, as this has really been tho source of much dissatisfaction in tho past, so many of our friends leaving all arrangements for disposing of thoir stock to chnnco. If sufficient bookings are received by us tho ■ " Colonial Union " will n't up tho "Cambodia" and "Enorgia'V-tho first two stonmorsto bo put upon this borth— to carry 30,000 carcases Wo llopo that you will put us in n position to have this carried into oft'oet, as by making tho new lino strong, wo shall prevent tho repetition of tho "oppressive action" against, which you wcro forced, to combine to obtain relief.— Yours truly, 1113 .
