The Association has been formed for the purpose of acquiring the old established and successful General; Business of Messrs Joseph Nathan & Co. at Palmerston North, in the Manawatu District, and there-' after to carry on a General Business on the Co-opera-tive principle, under which Shareholders and Customers of the Association will share in the profits, according to methods to 'be determined from time to time by the Directors, and for the other purposes mentioned n the Memorandum of Association. An association of this nature requires, in the chief centres, commodious business premises replete with facilities for economically and expeditiously carrying on the distributing trade. Experienced managers, with a thorough knowledge' of local requirements, are indispensible for the efficient conduct of the business, and for keeping good saleable clean stocks. It is necessary to know in what markets, at what seasons, and in what quantities to buy their requirements. It is of even greater importance to know how, where and when to export or otherwise dispose of the produce to the best advantage. But the real difficulties of all such institutions is the beginning ; for they must have capital at command, and have such financial arrangements, not only in the Colony, but in the various markets of the world, as will inspire the utmost confidence, to enable it to build up a first-class credit and good name, and thus transact business on rock bottom limits. The profits of the Association after payment of expenses will belong to and be distributed amongst the Shareholders. It is at present proposed after payment to Shareholders of a dividend of 7 per cent upon amount of paid up capital to divide part of the balance of the profits amongst :the Shareholders, according to 1 the amount of business done by each,, and a bonus to Employees, and to carry part to a Reserve Fund for the equalisation of dividends, and for the distinct object of starting or investing in such local industries, in the district as will prove conducive to the welfare of the Shareholders, employ labour, and promote thej wealth and prosperity of the district. The Association will, wherever sufficient inducement is offered by, settlers and others, and subject to the consent of the Shareholders, endeavour to ally itself or amalgamate with similar institutions, and thus, by sharing the cost of management and conduct of business, reduce expenses and enlarge its sphere of usefulness. This is far from being a speculative concern. The business of the vendors has been carried on successfully for years, and the promoters have such confidence in the future of the Association that they are prepared, so long as they have fair representation on the Board of Management under the control of Mr Cohen, to guarantee that the dividend for the next two years shall not be less than 6 per cent. It should be plainly understood that the promoters do not desire now nor in the future to take out their capital, but to carry on the business on the new lines with Mr Cohen at the head of affairs, assisted by all the present staff, many of whom have been known to you for years. Disinterested experts will be employed to certify, that stocks have been taken at absolute cost, and all bad or old stock has been reduced to the market value or taken away altogether. Book Debts taken over are guaranteed against loss by the Vendors. The following contract has been made, namely :— A contract between Messrs Joseph Nathan & Co. and the Association. .... . .1. Applications for Shares should be made upon the form accompanying the Prospectus, and forwarded to the Bankers of the Association, together with the amount payable on application. If no allotment is made the deposit will be returned without deduction, and where the number of Shares allotted is less than the number applied for, surplus will be credited in reduction of the amount payable on allotment. A form of Application for Shares is annexed, and a copy of Memorandum of Association will be found endorsed on the prospectus. A copy of Articles of Association and of the contract above-mentioned, may be inspected at the office of the Association. ... Dated this 29th day of August, 1892.
