NEW COMPANIES

C.O.D. IMPORTING CO., LTD. The prospectus of this company on page 27 clearly explains the objects and aims. This company is the pioneer in the field in New Zealand and will fulfil a long-felt want to residents. A great drawback to the present postal system is that residents can only buy goods that can be readily posted, and even then they have to choose them from illustrated catalogues. This new company will carry complete ranges of samples straight from the actual manufactrurer. Skeleton stocks of all classes of goods, will be carried in the company’s showrooms in Auckland, to supply immediate needs of shareholders and customers. The greatest benefit will be that shareholders will be able to see exactly what they are buying. The company has been fortunate in securing the direct co-operation of the world’s greatest soft goods warehouse, Messrs. Marshall Field. This means that the huge resources of this firm will be brought direct to the householder. Messrs. William Barrutt and Company. Limited, the great Northampton boot and shoe manufacturers, will also be associated. The old-estab-lished firm of the Royal Fenton Crockery Coy.. Ltd.. Staffordshire, will also be represented. The company will carry a complete range of samples of china, crockery and glassware, direct from the potteries. Arrangements have also been made with Messrs. D. D. Mehta, wholesale furriers, on the North-west Frontier, India, for a continuous supply of highclass furs. The arrangements of the company outside New Zealand are fully completed, and the company will have agents in principal countries for all classes of goods that cannot be purchased in Britain. One of the objects of the company is to assist British industries, by supplying a means of trading, which must fill a long-felt want, direct from the factory to the consumer. 35.
