J ADVANTAGES OF THE ASSO- | CTATION. J To secure to the farmers, graziers, and producers of the West Coast, by ' co-operatßon, the benefit of inter--1 change, which have hitherto gone to '• the agents rr distributors a' ona. ' By adopting the principle of enoperation in the formation ot the Association, farmers, graziers, flaxmillers, and all oth*r producers who are shareholders and constituents, may sell their products and bny what farm and station requisites they severally require in the most favourable markets, and at the same time share in the profits of the Association, which, after payment of fill expenses, will belong to and be distributed amongst the shareholders. The Association will collect and supply to the sharehold rs agricultural and other statistics, prompt, disinterested, and re'iable information as to' the state of and advantages offered by the various markets throughout the world. Tne A ?sooiation will seek to ally ifWf with other kindred institutions, and so, by sharing the cost of agency in British and forei»n markets, reduce ..such co-ts, while increasing correspondingly the advantages to shareholders. The profits of the Association, afterpayment to shareholders of a dividend not exceeding seven and a half per cent, per annum, and after making provision for writing oflP^ so much of the assets of the Association as may be deemed advisable and providing for a reserve fund will be divided amongst the shareholders, according to the amount of business done by each with the Association, may from time to time be approved of by a majority of shareholders at a general meeting of the -Association. The annual reports of other similar Associations show the satisfactory financial, results which may be attained by such enterprises, and induces the belief in the minds of the promoters that equally satisfactory results may be achieved in this part of the colon v, and while offering h j safe investment for capital, that the I West Coast Farmers' Co-Operative Association may become, not only a source of profit to its shareholders and constituents, but also a great and permanent benefit <o the farme^s,- graziers, and producers of the West Coast generally.
