ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS THE Company has been formed to take over the goodwill of the original Mustard Club, and to run this Club as a going concern, for the better digestion and enjoyment of members and shareholders. The original Mustard Club was founded by Aesculapius,' the God of Medicine, in the days of Ham and Shem. One of the earliest members was Nebuchadnezzar, who found Mustard a welcome addition to his diet of grass. The Mustard Club is the largest Club in the world, consisting of nearly thirty million Life members, all of whom are devotees of Mustard, and find much bodily profit from its consumption. The premises of the Club, which have been taken over from the Baron de Beef, are valued by him at £49,052.19 . 11. An independent valuation places them at no less a figure than £9,750. It will be seen from the statement of profits (omitted) that the interest on the Preference Shares IS MORE IHAN HALF COVERED by the average profits of the last three years. OBJECTS OF THE MUSTARD CLUB. (a) To enroll all Grumblers, Curmudgeons and such other persons who, by omitting to mustard their viands, have suffered in their digeslions, and to bring such persons to a joyous frame of mind and healthy bah t of body by the liberal use of Mustard. (b) To exterminate stiffness amongst athletes of all and every kind by demonstrating the value of the Mustard Bath. (c) To inspect public sandwiches and report when they contain no mustard, such sandwiches creating a backward flow of the digestive juices very detrimental to health. (d) To teach the younger generation there are three things worth keeping: (i) A stiff lip. (ii) A straight bat. (Ui) Fit on Mustard. (e) By inculcating the use of Mustard, to put ginger into our Heavyweight Boxers, Politicians, Wielders of Economy Axes, and all such otner persons as are patently in need of “ mustarding up.” (f) Xo persuade everyone who is responsible for the dinner-table to mix mustard freshly every day.
