The Company is proposed to be formed for the pm pose of purchasing the property hnd business of the Lioii Brewery ■Company in Ashburton. , i 'The very extensive agricultural district, jin the centre of which the town of Ashjburton is,situated, is one in which a very [large private as well as hotel trade is (carried on, and the faciliiies for brewing all that could be wished, and the water of [better quality for the purpose than can be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. I The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S; 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and pass streets. The building is of brick, Jwith a concrete cellar, which can be {extended underground at a very small cost, and is quite new, having been erected about twelve months. : The Building and Plant is all of firstijlassquality ■-well arranged and very complete, 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. 1 ' I The success which has attended the Brewery Companies in every part of the world, offers a great inducement to dapitalists and investors to take up shares |n Companies of this description, and the Prompters have the greatest confidence m the success of the Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. !
