Mr. John Dkan Bamfoed, Lyttelton. *f The chief objects of this Society are to i| encourage and improve'the breed of cattle, || the investment of small sums of money in g§ stock, for accumulation and periodical diviSsion amongst the subscribers, and to provide 'If a readily marketable, and transferable scrip ||hi the colony, which may at all times be §?.made available as securities. The particuJflar features of the project are to render accessible to small capitalists, the well-known !|| rapid accumulation of capital invested in pf stock, and to afford facilities to persons deM siring so to invest, without forming separate t§ establishments, or requiring their personal |f attention. . . H To accomplish these objects it is proposed [ to raise £10,000 by subscription, in order to [ establish and to stock one or more cattle sta- j I tions in the Province of Canterbury, under ; the" control of"a Committee of Management, ! and after paying half-yearly to the subscri- ■ bers a liberal interest on their investments, to accumulate the increase and surplus for I septennial, or more frequent division amongst the shareholders. The advantages of a Society of this kind in which to invest Trust or other monies, to accumulate for children, and Absentees, or the spare capital of persons engaged in other occupations, will be apparent to all who know the rate at which live stock is found to Increase in New Zealand. Subscribers already possessing cattle may be permitted to pay up their subscriptions in stock, of which they are already owners, at prices to be agreed upon by the Commit- ; * fj of Management. ;> The Committee are already provided with an excellent cattle run, well adapted to the purposes contemplated, upon which to commence operations as soon as a sufficient, number of shares shall have been subscribed. A considerable number of shares have already been applied for, and as the Society will be speedily formed, application must be made to the Secretary without delay in the form below (signed by the applicant). The Scrip will afterwaids be delivered upon payment of the Deposit at the Bank to the account of the Trustees. To the Secretary of the Canterbury Cattle Investment Society.
