The Company has been formed for the purpose of establishing a Woollen Mill or Mills in or near Wanganui and elsewhere as may be considered advisee from time to time by the Directors, and to carry on the businesses of Woollen Manufacturers and any other businesses provided for by the Memofandum of Association. GENERAL. Wanganui offers an admirable situation for the establishment ot a Woollen Mill It is the outlet for a ‘ large wool-growing district, from which annually large quantities of wool are exported. Conveniently situated with regard to - the railway system for collection of raw material and distribution of its products, and with the development of the harbour and shipping, it may be expected to be a similarly convenien t port with reward to'coastal and overseas imports and exports. Its population is now approaching towards 22,000, and it promises to be a centre of a large and over-growing population. ... The Borough Council states that by tho tamo a Mill may be expected ix? bo ready, to' commence operations, it anticipates being able to sell electric power as would bo required by the Mill. Tins constitutes a. great inducement to the establishment of tho Mill in Wanganui within reach of such power. 11l view of the general unsettlement. m industrial life} all over the world caused by the War, and tho rise- in industrial'wages to be expected in those countries from which New Zealand has hitherto drawn her woollen manufactures, and thei contemporaneous increase in freights, it may be expected that Now Zealand will find it necessary to no longer rely on getting such manufactures from abroad, produced under the hitherto existing conditions of low wages but to set to work herself and manufacture her own wool for her own use or export, thus saving double freight and providing employment for her population. This applies in special measure to the woollen industry, and it is for these reasons that the prospect of the establishment of a Woollen Mill is noW launched. f . . , Attention is drawn to tie fact that unlike most new ventures there is absolutely ho Loading in connection with the Company. All the Capital subscribed, except the preliminary expenses and brokerage undermentioned will be employed in erecting and equipping the Mill or Mills. No Director has any interest in the promotion of the Company apart from the shares he subscribed for, for which he will pay in cash. - The throe existing woollen manufacturing companies in the Dominion are in a flourishing condition,,as the prices of the shares, as shown below, indicate; and the promoters confidently look for a similarly successful career for this Company.
