This Company is projected for the purpose of taking over and carrying on the well-known; and old-established business of the Red Lion: Brewery, which has been successfully carried on by Mr Maurice Joel for the last eighteen years. ■ ’. ■ It is not anticipated that any further calls than as above stated will 'require to be made, as Mr Joel will leave, at the option of the Directory, L 15,000 of the purchase money on secured debentures of the Company for a term; of seven years, bearing_ interest at 7 percent/ per annum, and he will take 20,000 shares—which will leave 40,000 shares for distribution. He will also undertake the management for two years. An agreement has been entered; Into between Mr Joel and the Provisional; Directors to the above effect. The Red Lion Brewery has always maintained a high reputation since its establishment in 1862, and has taken more prizes than any other in the colony, and the beer is consumed extensively in both islands. Takingthe average profits of the last ten years as a standard, the business shows, with the rents of the properties and interest of loans, a profit of 18 per cent, per annum on L 30,000 (the sum; proposed to be called up), verified by Messrs William Brown and A. Bartleman, Account-: ants, as per their certificate below. The profitable nature of carefully managed brewing companies is well-known; and it may be safely said that this investment will constitute one. of the most lucrative of its kind in the colony. The brewery land consists of 1 acre 27 poles (freebold), having frontages to Great King and, George-streets; Dunedin, and contains a well, affording a never-failing supply of the best water for brewing in the colony. Upon this land are erected the substantial and well-con- ‘ structed brewery buildings, consisting of brick and stone'mashmg and storage premises, large; brick and stone cellar, stone fermenting; rooms, stone malthouse and kiln, brick and; stone bottling * stores, and- brick stables, together with fixed plant of the most modem and approved construction, with brewer’s residence, offices, and other premises, which, with the goodwill, extensive connection, and business of the proprietor, will be taken over at the price of L 17.000. The other properties, consisting of freehold and leasehold hotels, loans to hotelkeepers (secured), stock of beer, materials, barley, and malt, good book-debts, loose plant, and furniture and stock in hotels, will be taken at a price to be ascertained by valuation. The total purchase-money is estimated to amount to about L 40,000. As tho business has been a profitable one to Mr Joel, the Provisional Directors can with confidence recommend it as a safe and sure undertaking to investors, and one capable of much further development. The large interest retained by Mr Joel in the business is a guarantee of bona fidcs and of the success of the Company. ■ Applications for shares may be lodged with the Brokers, or with the Colonial Bank of New Zealand, Dunedin, and its branches throughout the colony. The Share List will be closed on the 6tk April, 1882,’ Accountants’ Report. ■ At the request of Mr Maurice Joel we have, examined - the profit and loss account in his books fora period of ten years, embracing the years 1872 and 1881-inclusive, and extracted therefrom all credits and debits arising from ordinary trade transactions, and we find that the; results run very evenly throughout the period, arid that without taking into account the rental of tenements at present vacant, the average of the trade profits, less trade expenses and had debts, added to present rents and interest produce a net -result equal to 18 per cent, on L 30,000. : f WILLIAN BROWN. 9233 (Signed) BARTLEMAN;].
