The Provisional Directors present this Prospectus to the public generally, and at the same time would direct the special attention of Farmers in the immediate district to some of the advantages secured by making ■ Dairy Produce under the Factory system. (1.) It is an accepted commercial axiom that where the greatest quantity of any article can be made at a given price the profits thereon are greater, and the success of the enterprise is more fully assured. (2.) The cost of manufacturing is proportionably less to the quantity made by the minia of price paid for the ra-r material, the economising of the necessary labor, the use of the best and latest machinery, and the centering of all the operations in one establishment specially designed for the purpose, the whole being carried on under the supervision of a throughly practical Mniager, thereby securing the utmost quantity obtainable from tho raw material and a uniformity of quality which becomes in the markets a standard commodity of a certain value. (3.) A combination of capital and the interests inbeperable therefrom as herein proposed, opens for itself a market of consumption no privately directed scheme can over obtain, while the opportunities for improvement are immeasurably greater, and the certainty of more speedy returns nt the highest rates secured. (4.) In the sale of his milk to the Company the farmer finds a sure and easy way ot at once converting this resource into cash, as it is intended to settle for the milk by monthly payments, thus avoiding on the one hand the disposing of either the milk or its product at a price frequently unremunerative with a maximum amount of labor and risk, and on the other hand being placed in a position to avoid the credit and exchange Bystems with their attending drawbacks. (6.) Accepting the possibility that a market mimt be entered outride the boundaries of the Colonies, the now established steam transit to the Old World, and the improvements of the refrigerating principle, place the Home Markets so near that a field for all the goods manufactured is opened at but a fraction over the cost of sending to markets nearer to our door.

(6.) Waste in connection with a properly conducted Dairy Factory is prevented, as every particle of waste is utilized in feeding pigs, and they in course nre brought to the credit of revenue in the shape of Bacon and Hams. (7.) From the foregoing considerations the Provisional Directors have confidence in presenting the claims of this Company to the farmers of the district, as, by them being shareholders in the venture, they not only secure a ready market for their milk and pigs, but a participation in the profits of the concern, That these are in the highest degree satisfactory from an investor's point of visw the reported success of Factories already in operation, and the number of new Companies now starting in various parts of the Colony is conclusive, while to the Public generally it may be affirmed that an investment with better prospects is rarely ever brought before their notice. jyo H.
