This Company is'proposod for the purpose of taking over as a “ going concern,” aud continuing the working upon a very much/enlarged, scale of the : Tanning business, situate adjacent:to the City.of Wellington, ami known as fche property of Mr. J, Guilford (together : withtho wholeof the stock, tools, aud machinery now iu his possession), which is situated at Beramphore, near Newtown, within three milea of the city, and. has been iu working .order for.the past seven years. The present proprietor, has during that time been extensively manufacturing . shoemakers' and saddlers’ leathers, and now finds- the demand so great that increased faculties are necessary to meet the demand ; aud being convinced, after several years of practical operations, that a Company with capital introducing tho 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 tlie plant at a valuation, estimated to c.ime to in all about £4OOO, £IOOO of which amount will be taken by him iu paid up shares. Tho property consists of one acre of laud, a new 10-H.P. engine and rolling gear complete, drying and scouring sheds, .and about 30 excellently built pits, giving every facility for extensiv’o operations; approached by a good macadamised road, and easy of access. 'During the : last few years' im enormous demand has sprung 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 *oou as the Company is fairly floated, to lay dowu such increased stock and appliances as will meet these requirements, and to adopt such means as will secure-for 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,- i and satisfactory arrangements can be made with . that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active management of the Company. Tho Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary tojJrepare 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 iu this case, the Company should prove an investment second to none iu the colony. A large proportion of the capital has already been taken up by those interested in the Leather trade. Early applications are therefore requested, Prospectus and Forms of Application fur Shares may be obtained from the Bankers, any of the Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherstou-street,-"Wellington.
