PROSPECTUS. The primary object of this Company is to provide a pure and wholesome bread by bringing into general «se Stevens' valuable machinery for making bread. This machinery is of a most simple and. effective character, and is protected by Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, dated 1858 and 1861. The patent are also taken out in France and Belgium. Recent as the inventions are, they have already been adopted by Her Majesty's Government, at the fallowing public establishments, and by several master bakers. References are kindly permitted in every case. Economy of Material.—There is an increased yield

of bre:id. amounting to at least three quartern loaves per sack. Tin's important result is effected by the perfect mixing of the dough and there being no waste of flour. Lieuteuant-folonel Oolvill, Governor of the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, writes :—"I am desired by the Visiting Justices to inform you they are perfectly satisfied with the bread-making machinery which you have supplied to this establishment. The machine has been in constant use for forty-six weeks, and in that time we have saved by it £207. The bread is also much better, the cleanliness of the manufacture is admirable ; it is a much healthier labor for the men, and the machine can be worked by any of the prisoners." Deputy Commissary-General Robinson, of Aldershott camj), writes : —" Stevens' dough-making machine performs better in 20 minutes what occupies 45 by manual labor, and it has been proved to gain 12 pounds of bread per sack of flour over what can be obtained by hand labor, the machine thus paying its own cost in a very short time." Captain Wrughton, 4ssistant-Commissary-General, Calcutta, writes :— :< Your patent dough-making machines are doing wonders for the commissariat Calcutta ; they perform all the kneading most effectually. The invention is so simple in use, so perfect and durable, that it is a perfect God-send to this countrvof heat and dust"

J. W. Nichols, Esq., Secretary of Greenvvhieh Hospital, writes: - " The Commissioners of Greenwich Hospital have every reason to be satisfied with your patent bread-making machinery now in use in the bakery of Greenwich Hospital." Miss Plomer, Matron of the Cripp'es' Home, Dorsetsquare, N.W., writ»s : —" We make our own bread at this institution, and the labor required before you sent the machine was very distressing. By the use of your machine the bread is easily made by the girls. One and all here arecompletely delighted with the machine and the bread which it makes for the use of our poor cripples is a blessing indeed." To the foregoing advantages may be added one of considerable importance, viz , that the bread made by this machine is the ordinary household, home-made, and fancy bread of every-day use, only free from the impurities and imperfections necessarily attending the hand-kneading system. In confirmation of the above statements as to the great public uti ity of the invention, attention is specially directed to the very numerous testimonials and official reportaddressed to the patentee, and which may be had on application at the offices of the Company. The following may be takm as specimens of the rest: — The Most Noble the Marquis of Sligo writes—" I have had your bread machine in use for the supply of my honse for nearly four months. It saves two-thirds of the labor of kneading, aud enables any servant in the house to do the work ; and I must strong!) recommend it to every baking establishment on either a large or a small scale." The Eight Hon. Lord Camoys writes—" You are fully at liberty to say and publish that I have one of your machines for making bread, and that I much approve of it." Charles Noltidge, Esq., Secretary of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Old Kent-road, -writes.—"As regards perfect kneading, consistency and decided improvement of dough, as well as simplicity and quickness in making it, these excellent machines are certainly unrivalled. Th<y also considerably economise labor, and prevent a large per centage of waste and sweepings. The management of the machine is, moreover so simple, that a person with common intelligence may learn it in an hour" The numerous master bakers using the machine express themselves with respect to it in terms of great commendation. Mr. M'Cash of Stratford, writes—"l am perfectly satisfied with the whole operation of your doughmaking machine. I believe the time is not far distant when the machine will be considered a necessity in all bakehouses, on account of its economy, and being alike a boon to master and man. Since using the machine, I have increased my trade ten sacks per week." Mr. C. Emberson, St- Paul's road, Highbury, writes : —" After a fair and impartial trial of your dough-making machine, I am much pleased with the result." Mr. Alfred Norman, Marlborough-place, Old Kent-road, writes:—" After eight month's trial, I am quite convinced that bread made by your machinery is far superior to that made by hand labor. The process is most cleanly, and the labor healthy; the men much prefer it to hand-arm system." Messrs A. Young and Son, of Cambridge, write, —" We should be sorry indeed to go back to the old system of making dough by hand. We should as soon think of relinquishing railway travelling to the old road and waggon." Mr. J: W. Black, of Leicester, writes,'' The cleanliness in the manufacture of the bread by your machine is so great that I think the time is not far distant when the public will not buy bread made by hand labor." The first source of revenue to the Company will be the sale of the machines. This branch will be very lucrative, as they yield a profit of upwards 800 per cent. The demand is rapidly increasing, and the field for their use both at home and abroad is almost boundless. A trade machine capable of mixing two sacks of flour at one time may be had as low as £3O, and those for family use range from 355. to £5 each. A second source of income will be the establishment of a Central Bakery or Bakeries, constructed on improved principles, for the supply of machine-made bread, the absolute purity of which will be guaranteed. A third source of profit will be the supply of genuine flour, in which it is believed the Company will be enabled to transact a large and lucrative business. The great extent to which mi'ch of the bread now sold in the metropolis is adulterated, more particularly with alum is notorious ; in confirmation of this statement the recent report of the Analytical Sanitary Commission of the Lnncef may be quoted. It is expected that ihe Company will sell weekly from 800 to 1,000 casks of flour converted into bread; and in proof that this estimate is a very moderate one, it may be mentioned that in Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, and other towns, there are at present single firms selling from 500 to 600 sacks per week. Although the Company will have ample capital and machinery including steam-power at their command, it is not their intention to adopt a tariff which wonld nut beunremunerative to those of the trade not possessed of there obvious advantages ; on the contrary, the Company will endeavour to maintain a fair scale of prices. It is their expectation that this course will tend to check that system of underselling now too common in the London trade, the baneful influence of which in the form of deteriorated bread extends to the consumer. It is important to notice that the Company will at once take possession of large businesses (both as to the machinery and baking), already established. Machines in various sizes may be seen at the offices, and orders receive for the same. As evidencing the patentee's confidence in the enterprize, mav be mentioned that he was agreed to forego all ca-h payments for he-exclusive use of his two patents and all improvements thereon, and to receive instead 2,500 paid lip shaqes of t'le Company, vri:h a participation in the net from t lie sS ts of the C< of fie machines. ip;>rr.-. will be ender th
