The Company is proposed to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the property and business of the Lion Brewery Company in Ashburton. " The very extensive agricultural district, in thfe centre of which the town of 1 Ashburton is situated, is one in which a very large private as well as hotel trade is carried on, and the facilities for brewing alljhat could be wished, and the water of better quality for the, purpose than can be found Elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Cass streets} - Th® building'is -of brick, with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very small cost, ifgd,; )s i. quite .new, having been erected about twelve months.

The Building and Plant is all of firstclass quality, veil arranged and very con>£lete, and With ‘the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be no difficulty in extending the business, with the' influence of the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout . the Ashburton County. ‘

The success which has attended the Brewery Companies in every part of the world , oilers a great inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares in' Companies of this description, and the promoters have the' greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. It is further proposed to obtain the services of a first-class brewer, to ensures large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is. £20,000, a comparatively smalt sum is required to purchase the present premises and plant of the Lion Brewery, viz., £3,000, the stock being taken at a valuation. The increased capital is required to extend the,present premises and business, and also to erect a malthouse. It is believed that malting will be a very. . profitable branch of the Company’s business, owing tp ,the quantity of barley grown in the immediate district. It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be left to the discretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as they think desirable. It proposed to call up £2 per share, as required, in calls of not more than 10s per share, ,and at intervals, after the allotment, of not less than three.months. The remaining shares will be issued to the public, (preference being given to existing shareholders) as, the requirements of the Company deveiope, and it is confidently be'ieved that a substantial premium will be obtained on them, as in the case of. other Brewery Companies, such premiums *o be placed to a reserve fund, and thereby strengthen the position of the Company. “ " If the Company is not floated, the deposits will be returned in full to the applicants. , , The Share Li-.t will be closed on Monday, the 18th June. 1172 Boarding Houses, &c.
