This Company is being formed for the purpose of freezing and canning meat at a minimum rate, manufacturing by-products and ctning bacon, and securing stability of market for stock. The objects of the Company will be found more fully set forth in the appended Memorandum of Association. The minimum subscription on which the Directors may proceed to allotment is two thousand Shares (£10,000). The estimated amount of preliminary expenses is £4OO, exclusive of brokerage A commission, not exceeding 5 per cent on the amounts payable on application and allotment, may be paid to the Company's Broker or Brokers on all Shares subscribed for through him or them. The Company in General Meeting shall, from time to time, determine the remnneration to be paid to the Directors. If. in the opinion of the Board, it is desirable that any of their number make auy special journeys or perform any special services on behaif of the Company or its business, such Director or Directors shall be paid such reasonable additional remuneration and expenses therefor as the Board or Company may from time to time determine. The qualification of every Director shall be (he holding in his own right of at least 20 Shares in the Company. The persons who are named as the Provisional Directors will be the first Directors of the Company, and will hold office until the statutory Mcetins of the Company, when they will retire, and the Shareholders will be called upon to elect Directors for the ensuing year. There is a strong consensus of opinion among the farming community that the establishment of an up-to-date Freezing and Preserving Company in the vicinity of Auckland City, owned and managed hy the farmers themselves, is of vital importance. An option o' purchase of a site at Otahuhu, containing 79 acres or thereabouts, situated on the railway line and bounded in part by the Mangere Road, lus been secured from Mr George Lumberton Thomson, ot Otahuhu, which is exercisable on or before the 2nd day of February, 1904, the consideration being £2,710, which will be payable in cash. It is proposed to carry on the business of the Company on the lines of the Belfast Freezing Company of Canterbury. This New Zealand Company has been established for upwards of twenty years ; has been eminently successful from the first; has extended flourishing branches to Ashburton and limaru, and is almost entirely owned and managed hy farmers. No better object lesson can, therefore, be quoted to the farmers of Auckland. Briefly, the Uelfast Freezing Company does not buy stock (although possessing the right to do fo by its Memorandum of Association), and is therefore not interested in keeping prices down. The Company freezes for all customers strictly in order of application at the lowest cost. Customers can dispose of their meat in any manner they wish; for instance, they can ship home through the Company or any other agent, or sell on the hooks at the works. The establishment of ' The Auckland Farmers' Freezing Co., Ltd.,' managed on similar lines, will promote healthy competition, and by presenting an ever ready channel to the grower for the disposal of his fat stock, will insure a, steady and remunerative market, not only for fat stock, but also for store sheep and cattle and steer calves of the dairyman ; the prices cf each of these classes, as is well known, being ruled by the price of fat stock. As large areas of new country have been taken up durine the last three years, and as the tame process still continues, it is confidently believed that in the near future the supply of fat sheep and cattle for freezing will be ample. The Dairy industry also, as it expands, will provide an ever-increasing number of steer calves, which will be turned into beef in due coursp. The establishment of.the Belfast Freezing Company in the various centres has in each case been attended with great benefit to town and country, and, as a consequence, with prosperity to the farming community. This prosperity has arisen, not so much from the actual profits obtained from the Company itself, as from the indirect benefit derivable from the steady and remunerative market for stock which is assured by the opeiations of such a Company, and by consequent advance in the Value of laud. It is therefore with coi.fidcr-ce that the farmers of Auckland Provincial District are invited to heartily support the Auckland Farmers' Fieezing Company, Limited by taking up Shares. Copies of the Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares may be procured from Bank of New Zealaud, Auckland or Hamilton, the Sccretaiy, or from the Solicitor to the Company. The number of Shares subscribed for by the Provisional Directors are as follows :—J. Barugh, Farmer, Hamilton. 40 Shares; J. C. Allen.
