PROSPECTUS. This Company is proposed for the purpose of taking over as a “ going concern,” and continuing the working upon a ve,y 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 wholeof the stuck, 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 shoemakers’ and saddlers’ leathers, and now finds the demand so great that increased faeiltiea are necessary to meet the demand ; and being convinced, after several years of practical operations, that a Company with capital introducing the neoes- [ sary 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 all about £-1000, £IOOO of which amount will be 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 tire last few years an enormous demand has sprung up for all kinds of leather, the supply botli for the export and New Zealand trade being altogether inadequate to meet requirements, henoo great delay and consequent loss to the consumer is constantly arising. 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 Mr, J. Guilford until tbe Company enters into pos--session, and satisfactory arrangement’s can be made with that gentleman for his valuable services in connection with the active management of the Company. Tim Provisional electors have not thought it advisable or necessary to prepare any elaborate statements of figures allowing probable profit—the fact is well known to all, that such a business, even moderately well managed, is bound to pay very handsomely ; an 1, when practical experience is combined with large capital, as it will bo in this 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 Forma of Application for Shares may ho obtained from the Bankers, any of the Directors, or at the temporary offices of the Company, Fuathoraton street, Wellington. Mr. O. K. Jeffs ia appointed canvasser and collector to the above company. J. W. FFROST, Secretary pro, tern. M ONE Y Security. TO LEND on Freehold O. P, POWLES, Hunter-street
