This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over as a ' •' going concern," and continuing tho working upou a very muou enlarged scale, of the Tanning business, situate adjacent to the City of Wellington, and known as the property of Mr J; Guilford (together with the whole et the stock, tools, and machinery now-in his possession), which is situated at Beramphoro, near Nowtown, within three miles of the city, and has been in workicg order for the past seven yearß. The present proprietor has during that time been extensively manufacturing shoemakers' and saddlers' leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased facilities are necessary to meet the demand, and being convinced, after several years of practical operations, that a Company with capital, introducing the necessary machinery and skilled labour, will be able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. The agreement with the vendor is, to take the whole of the plant at a valuation estimated to come to in all about £4000, £1000 of which amount will be taken by him in paid-up shares. The property consists of one acre of land, a new 10-horee power engine and rolling gear complete, drying and scouring sheds, and about thirty excellently built pits, giving every facility for extensive operations ; approached by* a good macadamised road, and easy of access. During the last few years an enormous demand has sprung up for all kinds of leather, the supply both for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. It is therefore intended, as soon flf the Company is fairly floated, to lay down such inceeased stock and appliances as will meet those requirements, and to adopt such means as will secure for the Company's leather the first reputation throughout the whole of New Zealand. The business will be carried on by Mr J. Guilford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can be made with that gentleman for his valuabl< services in connection with the active management of the Company. The Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to propare any elaborate statements of figures showing probabh profit — the fact is well known to all that sucl • a business, even moderately well managed, itbound to pay very handsomely ; and, whej practical experience is combined with largi oapital, as it will be in this case, the Company should prove an investment second ti none in the colony. A large proportion of the oapital has already been taken up by those interested in tbi Leather trade. Early applications are there • fore requested. Prospectus aud Forms of Application fo>' Shares may be obtained from the Bankei .-. any of the Directors, or at the temporal; offices of the Company, 3?eatherston-strec , Wellington. J. W.
