Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington ; or on application to any of lie officers of the Company. ... In introducing this eligible investment to the notice cf the public, the promoters desire to state that the Comtany's right comprise the best, moat available, extensive, _ and perhaps mcst valuable Marble deposits in the known worLi, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing th« first prize at the lata Sydney Exhibition against ItaK»n Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and non-speculative character, the ultimate success of this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for thi3 Marble is 12s per loot, yiut ranges np to £5. Larger blocks however, much more valuable, some para White Statuary,without flaws,realising a* much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a lifesize human statue being about £IOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble by Twawnul labor only is about 2s per cubic foot, £.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, bat they are nevertheless absolutelycorrect. Thus, taking the cost of production as stated, and tha very lowestwholesalequotation at 12s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous miniBum rate of COO percent, profit. It is"therefare, no visionary matter, as these are leading commercial lines and the values well known, tho facilities of. production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage any like property in the world- "We will venture to that the value of the Company's shares will increase at least 300 uk cent, within twelve months of issue. forftwHwmg to consumption of these comnmdiit is also enormous.
