S. Reeves ~ C. U. Chat man ~ J. Hyde Harris „ R. K. Murray The want of an establishment such as the ono now proposed to be constituted has long been felt, not only in Otago, but throughout the Colony of New Zealand. The promoters of this Company in seeking the support of the general public, do so with the utmost confidence, as from their experience of the large profits accruing from the trades to be followed in the manufacture of the articles to be sold, they feel assured that the project will prove one not only of monetary benefit but of general good, as an additional locil industry will be established which will in a comparatively short time grow into a most extensive manufactory. The object of the Company is to supply the Colony with locally-manufactured furniture of a qua'ity to equal any yet imported from the Home markets. A largo number of our local youths will, under the very best workmen to be obtained, be employed. Woods from foreign markets will be imported ; but the woods of New Zealand, many of which are eminently adapted for the manufacture of every description of furniture, will be largely'use I. The promoters wish to call special attention to the fact that the profits derived from the manufacture and sale of the articles to be made are incredibly, large in some cases extending to 10) per cent.; they therefore feel perfect confidence in assuring the public of the undoubted safety of the undertaking, and with economic vl and judicious management, very handsome returns on the capital invested may be confidently expected. It is proposed to take ov«r at a valuation the steam factory of H. J. Bacon in Cumberland street, which has power suitable for the business. These premises will in the first instance form the manufactory. Centrally situated premises in the city will be established, where will he the show-rooms anil warehouses of the Company. Of the amount of valuation to be paid for the pr. mi: os, the vendor agrees to take the ouohalf in paid-up'shares. It is needless to say more in favor of the undertaking; the matter is left in the hands'mf* the public, who cannot fail to see the many advantages to bo derived therefrom.
