PROSPECTUS. , This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over as a “going concern,” and continuing the working upon a very much enlarged scale of the Tanning business, situate adjacent to the City of .Wellington, and known as the property of Hr. J. Guilford (together with the wholeof the stock, tools, and machinery now in his possession), which is situated at Beramphore, near Newtown, within three miles of the city, and has been in working order for the past seven years. The present proprietor has during that time been extensively manufacturing shoemaker,’ and saddlers’ ' leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased families are necessary to meet the demand ; and being convinced, after several years of practical operations, that a. Company with capital introducing the necessary machinery and skilled labor, will be able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. The agreement with the vendor is to take the whole of the plant at a valuation, estimated to come to in ali about £ -1000, £1001) of which amount will be taken by him in paid up shares. The property 'consists of one aero of land, a new 10-H.P. engine and rolling goar complete, drying and scouring sheds, and about 30 excellently , built pits, giving every facility for extensive operations; approached by a good macadamised road, and easy of access. . Dining the hist few years an enormous demaud has sprung up for all kinds of leather, the supply both for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, hence great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly aridng. It is therefore intended, as soon as the Company is fairly floated, to lay down such increased stock and appliances as will meet these requirements, and to adopt such means as will secure for the Company’s leather the first reputation throughout the whole of New Zealand. Tiie business will be carried on by Hr. J. Guilford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can bo made with that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active management of the Company. Tho Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures showing probable profit—tho fact is well known to all, that such a business, even moderately well managed, is hound to pay very handsomely ; ami, when practical experience is combined with large capital, as it will bo in tins case, the Company should prove an investment second to none in the colony. A large proportion of the capital has already been taken up by those interested in the Leather trade. Early applications are therefore requested. Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares may ho obtained from the Bankers, any of tho Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherston-street, Wellington. J. W.
