CAPITAL £3,000, IN 1000 SHARES OF £3 EACH. Payable: £1 on application for Shares, and the remaining £2, if required, at 10s per share, and at intervals nofc less than six months from each call. Directors : Mr Joskph Masters, Dr Boos, Mr H. Bannistee. Manager : Mr S. Rikys. Agents, Wellington ; Messrs Levin & Co, Solicitors: Messrs Izard & Phaba_tn. Bankers : Union Bank cf Austbaha. Masterton, 21st February, 1871. The object of this Company is to carry out Mr Riky's process for dressing the New Zealand Flux ; aud at the same time to manufacture woolpacks, scrim clofch, and other materials. The flax produced by thia process, which is very inexpensive, ia of suoh a quality thafc samples sent to London by Messrs Levin & Co , although but half nressed, havo been valued at £32 per ton (not including the tow) fcho brokers saying at the same time fchat such flax would command a large demand. But a superior quality has beon produced since at the mill already erected by Mr Rikys at Masterton, a specimen of which can be seen at Messrs Levin _ Co.'. office, und such flax wi doubtloss fetch a higher price in the Londo market. The following certificate relative to the flax prepared by the above process has been given in LondoD by the well known firm, Messrs Noble & Co., viz. : — "London, 17th Juno, 1869. " Gentlemen, — After carefully examining tho samples of New Zealand Flax shown to the writer at your office, we consider the improvement in value effected by Mr Rikys' process on the sample we gavo him equal to £10 per ton. Wo aro ignorant of the cosfc per ton of working this process, bufc would suggest fchafc it should be carried out at the place of growth. " Th. parcel of flax from which we gave samples wo sold at £22 per ton. " We are, Gentlemen, &c, " (Signed) G. & A Nobie." Dr Hector, and also Mr Kebbell, Flax Commissioner, have expressed a high opinion of the flax prepared by the said process. According to present calculations the cosfc . of such flax will not exceed £_2 to £24 per ton, delivered in London, bo that there willbe a large margin for profit, even supposing that not more than £32 por ton should be obtained for it. The Directors have the pleasure to say thafc such is Mr Rikys' confidence in the said process that, instead of asking a bonus for it from the Company, he has agreed to accept 25 per cent, out of the nett profits of the Company, retaining to himself the right to grant licenses for tho uso of his patont. The mill erected at Masterton, with the plant aud other things attached to it, will become the property of the Company, who will have to pay to Mr Rikys the actual cost of ifc «ily. A better situation could not havo beon selected by Mr Rikys for the erection of a flax mill. A fine stream, with abundanco of water all tho year round, runs close by it ; it is surrounded by excellent flux, and at a distance of c fow yards there is the bush, which will supply the mill with firewood afc a small expp»- se Nothing will be spared by the Directors, and particularly by the Manager, to promote tho good result of this Company, which fchey do nofc hesitate to recommeud to the public as a safe and good investment. Applications for shares, of whioh a large number have been already taken up, can be made at Messrs LEVIN & CO., or Mr S. RIKYS, Wellington. Mr HENRY BANNISTER, Masterton. Mr A. K. ARNOT, &Mr M.
