The persons who are named as the Provisional Directors-will be the first Directors of the Company, and will hold office until the statutory meeting of the Company, when they will retire, and the Shareholders will be called upon to elect Directors for the ensuing year. There is a strong consensus of opinion among the farming community that the establishment of an up-to-date Freezing and Preserving Company in the vicinity of Auckland City, owned and managed by the farmers themselves, is of vital importance. An option of purchase of a site at Otahuhu, containing 79 acres or thereabouts situated on the railway line and bounded in part by the Mangere road, has been secured from Mr George Lamberton Thomson, of Otahuhu, which is exercisable on or before the 2nd day of February, 1904, the consideration being £2.710, which will be payable in cash; it is proposed to carry on the business of the Company on the li-es of the Belfast Freezing Company of Canterbury, This New Zealand Company Has been established for upwards of twenty years; has been eminently successful from the first; has extended flo wishing branches to Ashburton and Timaru, and is almost entirely owned and managed by farmers. No better object lesson can, therefore, be quoted to the farmers of Auckland. Briefly, the Belfast Freezing Company does not buy stock (although possessing the right to do so by its Memorandum of Association), and is therefore not interested in keeping prices down. The Company freezes for all customers strictly in order of application at the lowest cost. Customers can dispose of their meat in any manner they wish; for instance, they can ship home through the Company or any other agent, or sell on the hooks at the works. The establishment of ‘The Auckland Farmers’ Freezing Co., Ltd.,’ managed, on similar lines, will promote healthy compstition, and by presenting an ever ready channel to the grower for the disposal of his fat stock, win insure a Htendy and remunerative market, not only for fat stock, but also for store sheep, cattle, and steer calves of the dairyman; the prices of each of these classes, as is well known being ruled by the price of fat stock. As largo areas of new country have been taken up during the last three years, and as.,Jibe-same process still continues, it is confidently believed that in the near future the supply of fatTEeep and cattle for freezing wuf be ample. The Dairy industry also as it expands, will provide an ever increas ing number of steer calves, wkich will be turned into beef in due course. The establishment of the Belfast Freez-

ing Company in the various eentres has in each case been attended with great beniflt to town and country, and, as a consequence with prosperity to the farming community. This prosperity has arisen, not so much from the actuai profits obtained from the Com pany itself, as from the indirect benefit derivable from the steady and remunerative market for stock which is assured by the operations of such a Company, and by consequent advance in the value of land. It is therefore with confidence that the farmers of Auckland Provincial District are invited to heartily support the Auckland 4i Farmers* Freezing Company. Limited, by J taking up shares. Copies of the Prospectus and and Forma of application for Shares may be procured from Bank of New Zealand, Auckland or Hamilton, the Secretary, or from the solicitor to the Company.
