The Provisional Directors, having arranged for the purchase of the land, buildings, and woollen manufacturing machinery lately belonging to the Ashburton Woollen Factory Company, have decided to form a Company for the {purpose of completing the work and commencing the manufacture of woolten goods as early as possible. (a) The section of land on which the buildings are erected faces the main road from Ashburton to Mount Somers, and contains seven acres of freehold, distant miles from the Ashburton railway station, and in every way well auited to the purpose for which it has been selected. (i») The buildings, which are of brick and exceedingly well built, include engins-faouse, boiler-house, dryingroom, main mill-room (200 ft x 80ft), mechanio’s shop, woolshed, dyehouseatorercoms and offices. (c) The machinery includes SS-h.p. engine and boilers, wool-soouring machines, scribblers and condensers, mutes, twisting frame, looms, milling and finishing machinery, all quite new and of the latest English design.

The land, buildings and machinery are offered to the public for L 5,500 (being LB,OOO leas than the actual original cost). To connect the shafting with the engine and machinery, which is now being done, and to put the whole into thorough working order, a further expenditure of LI,OOO may be required ; the Company will then have a Factory complete in every respect, fitted with the most modern appliances, at two-thirds less cost than any other Com* pany in the colony; the total cost not exceeding L 6,500. Mr Greenwood, who is at present acting as chairman, has had large experience in the manufacture of woollen goods in England and is well acquainted with the requirements, of the colony. Under his supervision the machinery is, being placed in position, to be ready for active operations when the next clip of wool comes ta band in October next.

Other factories in the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, are now paying with regularity dividends of 10 per cent, as well as placing substantial amounts to the.r respective reserve funds. It is, therefore, with much confidence the Provisional Directors recommend the undertaking to the public as a thoroughly sound and safe investment. The Provisional Directors have already subscribed for LIO,OOO worth of shares, and now invite applications for the remainder. Five shillings per share will be payable on application ; five shillings per share on allotment; and the balance will be called up as occasion may require, at the rate of five shillings per share, at intervals of not less than two months. Applications for shares will be received by any of the Provisional Directors, the Company’s bankers, or by the Secretary. 5 867
