Ffrost. PROSPECTUS. Tills 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 Mr. J. Guilford (together with the wboleof the stock, tools, and maoliiuery 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 shoemakers' and saddlers’ leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased faeilties are necessary to meet the demand ; and being convinced, after several years of practical operations, that a Company with capital introducing tho necessary machinery and skilled labor, will bo able to command a trade second to none in New Zealand. The agreement with tho vendor is to take the whole of the plant at a valuation, estimated to come to in all about £4OOO, £IOOO of which amount will bo taken by him in paid up shares. The property consists of one acre of land, a new 10-H.P. engine and rolling gear 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. During the last few years an enormous demand has sprung up for all kinds of leather, tho 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 arising. It is therefore intended, as soon ns 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 tho Company’s leather the first reputation throughout the whole of New Zealand. Tho business will be carried on by Mr. J. Guilford until the Company enters into possession, and satisfactory arrangements can bo made with that gentleman for Ids valuable services in connection with tho active management of tho Company. The Provisional Directors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures showing probable profit—the fact is well known to all, that such a business, even moderately well managed, is bound to pay very handsomely ; and, when practical experience is combined with largo capital, as it will be in this case, the Company should prove an investment second to none iu the colony. A largo-proportion of the capital has already been taken up by those interested iu tho, Leather trade. Early applications are therefore requested. Prospectus and Forms of Application for Shares may bo obtained from the Bankers, any of tho Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Featherston-etreet, Wellington. J. W.
