This Company is being formed for the purpose of freezing and canning meat ata minimum rate, manufacturing by-products and curing bacon, and securing stability of market for stock. » The objects ef tho Company will be found more fully set forth in the appended Memorandum of Association. The minimum subscription on which the directors may proceed to allotment is two thousand Shares (£10,000). The estimated amount of preliminary pense is J 2400, exclusive of brokerage. A oommission, not exceeding 5 per cent on the amounts payable on application and allotment, may be paid to the Company’s Broker or Brokers on all shares subscribed for through him or them. The Company in general meeting shall, from time to time, determine the remuneration to be paid to the Directors. If, in the opinion of the Board it is desirable that any of their number make any special journeys or perform any special services on behalf of the Company or its business, such Directtor or Directors shall be paid such reasonable additional remuneration and expenses therefore as ths Board or Company may from time to time determine.-

Tho qualification of every Director shall be the holding in his own right of at least 20 Shares in the Company.

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 Directon for the ensuing year. There is a strong consensus of opinion among the fanning 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 Mongers road, has been secured from Mr George Lamberton Thomson, of Otahnhu, which is exercisable on or before th® 2nd day of February, 1904, the consideration being £2,710, which will be payable in cash.

It is proposed to carry on the businass of the Company on the lines of the Belfast Freezing Company of Can'erbnry, This New Zealand Company has be en established for upwards of twenty years; has been eminently successful from the first, has extended flourishing branches to Ashburton and Timarn, and ie almost entirely owned and managed by farmers. No better object lesson can, therefore, be quoted to the farmers of Auckland.

Briefly, the Bolfsst Freezing Company docs not buy stock (although possessing the right to do so by its Memorandum of Association), and is therefoie 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 tbeir 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’ Freezmg Co., Ltd,,’ managed on similar lines, will promote healthy competition, and-by presenting an ever ready channel to the grower for the disposal of his fat stock, will insure a steady and remunerative market, not only for fat stock, bub also for store sheep, cattle, and steer calves of th® 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 np during the last three years, and as tho same process still continues, it is confidently believed that in the near future the supply of fat sheep and cattle for freezing wi.l be ample. The Dairy industry also as it expands, will provide an ever inoreas ing number of steer calves, wkich will be turned into beef in due course.

'The establishment of the Belfast Freezing Company m th® various eentres has in each case been attended with great benifit 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 Farmers’ Freezing Company. Limited, by taking up shares. Copies of the Prospectus and and Forms of applicatian for Shares may be procured from Bank of New Zealand, Auckland! or Hamilton, the Secretary, or from the solioitor to the Company.
