Otago Witness, Issue 76, 30 October 1852, Page 2

To Messrs. James Macandxew &. Co. ' f^ ENTLEMEN,— We, the undersigned Ap\T ])licants for shares in the Otago Banking Company, and others interested in the progress of the Settlement, feeling that there is little chance of the Otago Banking Company obtaining a Charter until the sitting of a popular House of Representatives,— and seeing that in the meantime the Settlement is suffering serious injury from the want of a circulating medium in some degree proportionate to the actual wealth of the Colony, and to the requirements of industry,— beg respectfully to suggest, that in the meantime, and until the proposed Bank is fairly started, your Firm might to a great extent obviate the depression which industry is now suffering under by adopting the system which has been found to work well in other settlements. We mean that of> issuing Promissory Notes for small amounts at short dates, it being generally understood that they would at any time be taken as Cash in payment of goods or produce at your store. We feel assured that you could carry out the proposal with perfect safety to yourselves, and to the great advantage of the public. Should your views on this subject lead you to adopt our suggestion, we need not say that you will have our perfect confidence, and we | believe that of the public generally. \ Trusting that, you will give this matter your j best consideration, \ We are, Gentlemen, ! Your most obedient Servants, : [Here follow 40 Signatures.] NOTICE.— In terms of the foregoing Requisition, and until the establishment of the Otago Banking Company, the Undersigned are prepared to issue Promissory Notes for small amounts at short dates, against produce, stock, or other available securities, which Notes will be taken in payment of goods at their Store at any time.
