Agent for Dunedin: M. W. Hawkins. The name of the Company is the New Zealand Royal Pottery Company (Limited). The Registered Office of the Company is to be established in tho township of Milton, in the province of Otago. The objects for which the Company is established are for the purposes of manufacturing and selling all kinds of Stone, China, Printed, Painted, and Enamel Earthenware ; also, every description of Salt Glaze Stone Pipes, Chimney Tops, Sewer Pans, Five Bricks, Tesselated Pavements, and Telegraphic Insulators, and to do all things the Company, from time to time, consider to be incidental or conducive to the attainment of US’ objects, or otherwise 'for its benefit. The liability of the shareholders is limited. The nominal capital of the Company is £30,000, divided into 12,000 Shares at £2 10s. each. The success which has attended the establishment of the Mosgiel Woollen Factory under the provisions of the Joint Stock Act, and the greater facilities and extent to which such undertakings can be conducted by a company as compared with a private individual, has led to the project of the formation of a company, with a view to the purchase of the Tokomairiro Pottery Works, now owned by Mr. W. M. White, and conducting the manufacture of Pottery and Earthen ware upon a scale somewhat commensurate with the large market presented in New Zealand and the other Australian colonies; this being the only Pottery Work established in the Southern Hemisphere. The present works were commenced by Mr. W. M. White about a year ago, since which time he has disposed of over £3OOO worth of Salt Glaze Pipes alone, the market for which is steadily on the increase, and beyond the present producing powers of tho establishment. During this period Mr. White has alsodevoted a considerable portion of his time and attention to the preparation of the necessary buildings and plant for the manufacture of all classes of Staffordshire Potteryware upon the most approved principles and latest improvements in machinery used in Staffordshire, and recognised as the best and most economical in the world. The property is situated in the centre of Milton. Mr. W. hi. White has now ready for market large supplies of saleable articles for general and domestic purposes. The present time is, therefore, considered by the projectors of this Company tho most favorable opportunity for entering upon the possession of the works, and pushing the manufacture and sale of Potteryware in this and the adjoining colonies. An estimate of the nature and extent of the available market may be arrived at from the fact that the value of such imports into’ New Zealand alone for the year ending December last amounted to £70,000, of which Otago alone imported £22,000 worth of Potteryware. The Promoters have every confidence. that they will be enabled to supply the whole Colonial Market with any article in Potteryware, at a figure sufficiently low to compete successfully with the Home article, while securing a large margin of profit to the Company, who have secured the services, as manager, of Mr. Chetham, for thirty years proprietor of one of the largest English potteries, and practically acquainted with tire various processes adopted in every branch of the trade. The services of the present staff—of over thirty thoroughly experienced hands—brought from the Staffordshire potteries direct, and now engaged upon the works, have also been obtained. The projectors have agreed with Mr. W. M. White to take over the freehold property, consisting of threeacres of land surrounding the present centrally situated works (secured with a view to their future development),, and the large and substantial buildings, with plant and stock, at a valuation, to bo subsequently made, estimated at or about £7OOO, including the General Government bonus of £3OO. The amount of goodwill, estimated at £2OOO, Mr, White has resolved to invest in the company in paid-up shares to that amount, so confident is he in the bona fides of the undertaking in tho hands of a public company. The projectors have also secured from Mr. White his right, obtained from the General Government, to remove clay from, the lands adjoining the lino of railway between Tokomairiro and the Clutha, which clay is allowed by competent judges to be equal to any found in England for manufacturing purposes. The Government are now forming a siding to these clay pits, which are inexhaustible. The projected branch lino to the Tokomairiro coalfields has also been surveyed to pass in front of the premises, so that the works will be in railway communication with the raw material, with unlimited and cheap coal supplies, and with a port of shipment; as also with, the metropolis and the larger townships of the province likely to form good markets for supplies. The Projectors appeal for support with every confidence to the residents of Tokomairiro, and the settlers of the county of Bruce generally, as tho establishment of this industry has already tended greatly to developc the resources of the district in opening up clay and coal mines, employing a large amount of outside labor in procuring and carting timber, coal, and clay supplies ; while the recent unexampled prosperity of the township of Milton has been greatly advanced by tbe presence in its midst of the largo number of employes, men, women, and children, engaged upon the works, and which would be greatly increased by a larger proprietary, possessed of increased capital to carry on tho works to every advantage. The Promoters also confidently bring the enterprise under tho notice of the general public of as it is a well known fact that nothing so tends to advance the prosperity of a country as the establishment of local industries within its borders, thus prevent x>g the export of capital from the colony for the supplies of everyday requirements. Apart from these considerations, the enterprise itself promises to be an amply remunerative and successful one. The projectors, having given the matter in all its aspects every consideration, have great pleasure in placing the Company in the market, and believe it will prove in every way worthy of public confidence and co-operative-support. Forms of application may be obtained from Mr. G. Capstick, broker, Milton ; or Mr. M. W. Hawkins, Dunedin. GEORGE CAPSTICK, Interim Secretary. Form of Application for Shares, Date, , 1875.
