This Company is being formed for the ; purpose of freezing and canning meat aba . minimum rate, manufacturing by-producta and curing bacon, and securing stability of I market for stock. ! The objects ef the Company will be found more fully set forth in the appended MemI orandum of Association. i The minimum subscription on which the directors may proceed to allotment is two ■ thousand Shares (£10,000). j The estimated amount of preliminary ' pense is .£lOO, exclusive of brokerage. 1 A commission, not exceeding 5 p®r cent j on the ainoeUts 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 Companv in general meeting shad, i from time to time, determine the remunerai tion 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 I or perform any special services on behalf of the Company or its business, such Directtor or Directors sliall be paid such reasonable additional remuneration and expenses therefore as the 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. I The persons who are named as the Provision al Directors will be the first Directors of the Company, and will hold office until ) the statutory meeting of the Company, I 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. 11 is proposed to carry on the business of the Company on the lines 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 flourishing bran-hes 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 thorefoie 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. Tht. establishment of ‘The Auckland Fannert/ Freezing Co., Ltd,,’ managed on a roiiar itaee, will promote healthy competi- ( uwi, and I,j presenting an ever ready chari--341 to the grower for the disposal of his fat i s :-.T,k ( will insure a steady and remuneraj ti-.-e market, not only for fat stock, but also j for store cheep, cattle, and steer calves of tho i duirynian; the prices of each of these ’ classes, is well known being ruled by the i price ol fat stock. A > large areas of new country have been ’ taken up during the last three yearr, and as the 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 increas ing number of steer calves, wkich will be turned into beef in due course. The establishment of the Belfast Freezing Company in the various eentreg 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 Forma of applicatian for Shares may be procured from Bank of New Zealand, Auckland or Hamilton, the Secretary, or from the solicitor to the Company.
