Also, 2-storey Brick Dwelling and other Offices, Stable 3, Sheds, Sec, forming well-designed premises, capable of doing a large trade with the greatest despatch and smallest amount of labor, reducing the working expenses to a minimum, well suited for the wants of farmers and others interested m cultivation. The Premises abut on a through Railway Siding and are connected by a Private Siding with Track Scale and Turntable, running between the Store and Mill. The Property fronting also on Grey street affords every facility for receiving and delivering by road and rail. The Buildings and Machinery are all quite new, having been erected on the site of those destroyed by fire on May 21st, 1881. They were erected and fitted after Mr Bruce had visited and inspected many of the best mills m the United States and Canada. The' Machinery and Equipments are upon the Hungarian- Americanpatent process of gradual reduction, and aro capable of turning out 350 to 400 sacks of flour per day, of superior quality and dress. The Flour already made since the Mills were rebuilt — about 1200 tons — has given the brand a name m the market, leaving no room for doubt that the machinery is perfect. This is the only mill so fitted this side of the Line. The product being altogether superior to any other brand, and having found a ready sale at the top price — the machinery being all quite new ana fully proven to be all that can be desired, leaves no doubt and no lost time waiting m suspense. It is a first-class going concern, and can be depended upon giving immediate returns from the time the Company enters into possession. The Provisional Directors depend upon the public taking this enterprise heartily up, and can fully recommend it as a safe and profitable investment, to Farmers, as a ready local market for their produce ; to Bakers, Housekeepers, and all who wish Bread m its best possible form. Mr Bruce has decided upon this course owing to the sudden death of Mr Mendelson, with whom he was formerly associated. The Oatmeal Machinery, to be erected as soon as soon as the Company is formed, will consist of Brucc's Patent Drying Apparatus, calculated to prepare from any degree of dampness Wheat, Oats, or any other kind of grain, m first-class condition for either milling or shipment at a nominal cost, it being perfectly automatic ; together with other machinery of first-class type for the manufacture of Oatmeal m its best form. The Company will be governed by a Board of Directors, associated with a General Manager chosen by the Shareholders. The Buildings and Machinery have been all examined by Messrs James Gray (of Reid and Gray, Dunedin), George- Lawrie of Pareora, and John Anderson, Christchurch, who aro all well known as Engineers and Millwrights, and whose judgment can be depended upon. They pronounce all to be m first-class order, and at the prico at which the Company can purchase very advantageous to shareholders.
