TEE BEST FAMILY SEWING MACHINE in the world. It comprises all the good! points, and combines sl. that is valuable in the whole of them, besides wmch it has many important advantages possessed by no other machine. THE REVERSIBLE FEED enables the operator to sew either way; fasten to ends of seams without stopping or turning the work. IT HAS THE SELF-ADJUSTING SHUTTLE TENSION. IT MAKES FOUR KINDS OF STITCHES. THE SAVING OF THREAD over machines making the chain or embroidery stitch will in one year be more than the cost ol the machine. — — - THE LOCK STITCH, compared with the chain stitch, is less clumsy, — is less liable to be washed or ironed off, and does not, like the latter, form a network to retain dirt. THE EXACT AND POSITIVE MOTION of every part, with no uncertain springs or brush pads, renders it almost impossible for a Florence Machine to get out of order, and enables even an ordinary operator to use it successfully. IT USES THE SAME SIZE THREAD on both sides, and both sides of the seam are alike THAT IT IS THE BEST, is evidenced by the fact that of the thousands sold in the United Kingdom during the past two years, none give dissatisfaction. All extras, fifteen articles and one dozen needles FREE OF CHARGE. ALF RE D OAK EV, SOLE AGENT FOR NEW ZEALAND, Bbidge-stbeet. Fotjk Doors feom McGee's Hotel. FLORENOE MACHINES SOLD ON MONTHLY PAYMENTS THE NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY [LIMITED]. Incorporated under tbe Joint Stock Companies' Acts.) CAPITAL : £250,000— in 25,000 Shakes of £10 each. HEAD OFFICES: Hereford -street, Christchurch. LONDON OFFICES: India House, Alderman's Walk. Directors : J. L. CosTfi.R (Chairman). George Goux-d ("Deputy Chairman). R. H. Ehodks, M.H.R. I John Anderson Hon. J. T Peacock | Reginald Cobb William Beeves, M H. R, Bankers; Thb Bank of New Zealand. Solicitors : Messrs Gabrick and Cowlishaw. The objects of the Company are to provide increased facilities for the New Zealand Shipping Trade, by the building, purchasing, or chartering First-class Vessels suitable for the trade of the Colony. The whole of the original capital — £100,000 was speedily subscribed for and allotted in the Provinces of Canterbury, Otago, Wellington, and other parts of the Colony. The failure of the Agent-General to obtain reasonable terms in London for the conveyance to the Colony of Emigrants and cargo having enabled the directors to conclude a satisfactory contract with the Governmpnt in the Colony for such service, it at once became necessary to largely increase the capital of the Company with the view of placing it in an undoubted position to perform the contract, and otherwise extend its operations. The Directors were strengthened in this view hy the fact that the Otago Freight Association had already joined the Company, that a large number of the late Wellington Association had become Shareholders with them, and that a strong probability existed (since substantially realised) that the New Zealand (Auckland) Freight Company would also amalgamate. At a meeting of the Shareholders held at Christchurch, on the 20th June, it was decided to increase the Capital of the Company to £250,000, by the creation of 15 000 new shares of £10 each, to be issued at par, witli all the privileges belonging to the first issue, and to be allotted in the discretion of the Directors. Already, in anticipation of this announcement, applications tor a large number of new shares have been received, thus affording further substantial proof of the confidence reposed by the public in the New Zealand Shipping Company. The success which has hitherto attended the efforts of the ' romoters to establish a Colonial Shipping Company on a basis sufficiently wide and strong to enable them to successfully oppose and check the powerful monopoly of Shaw, Saville, and Co., justifies the Directors in appealing with confidence to the public for support. The Directors would specially appeal to the Wool and Grain Growers, and other producers, as well as to the Mercantile community, whether importers or exporters, for their aid towards an undertaking which mu^t conduce largely, both directly and indirectly, to their benefit. It is not the intention of the Directors to call up more than 50s. a share— of this amonnt 10s. will be paid on application, and the remninder at not less than three months in calls of 10s. each. Applications for Shares of the New Issue will pending the establishment of Agencies of the shipping Company in various parts of the Colony, be received up to the 15th August next, at the several offices of the Bank of New Zealand, where forms of application can be obtained ; or, at the Head Offices of the Company, Hereford Street, Christchurch. By order oi the Board of Directors, JOSEPH GOULD, Secretary. Christchurch, July 21, 1873. 1969
