The Promoters of this Association wish to bring before the public of Canterbury the great gains to be derived by establishing in their midst a Company to be worked purely on co-opera-tive principles, having certain objects for the furtbercncc of farming interests, and offering a great financial saving to each individual member of the public who may become a shareholder. The Promoters, also, have great coniidencc in bringing this Association before the public, as similar co-operative institutions have been most successful in all parts of the world. Amongst the most important objects of the Association are the following : To procure for its members greater facilities than at present exist, for the shipping of their produce to the consuming markets of the world. This the Association will do by exporting the produce for its (Shareholders at the lowest lates in chartered ships, allowing Shareholders advances on the produce so shipped or deposited witli the Company for shipment or sale at the lowest rates. This the Promoters think will be of the greatest advantage, as the rates usually clia’-ged in Canterbury arc excessively high. The Shareholders of the Association will therefore bo in a position to ship their produce for sale to the best markets, instead, as has been so often the case, especially last season, of being forced to sell in this country at most ruinous prices, and far below the value in other markets. Also great benefit will be found in that the Association will procure cornsacks, woolpacks, agricultural implements, seeds, and all articles of consumption at the lowest cost, that are useful to its shareholders. By these means great saving will be effected, as the difference between the price of all articles in New Zealand and in the places of their manufacture, whether of busbandry or of general consumption, is far greater than many individual purchasers are aware of. The Association will undertake any business and make all arrangements that may be necessary with other linns for the furtherance and better carrying out of its objects. The Directors are empowered by the Articles of Association to make advances to its Shareholders on properties or other securities as they may think lit. The benefits derivable from the Association will be strictly confined to its Shareholders. The profits of the Association, after paying interest at the rate of 7 per cent per annum on paid-up capital, will be divided amongst all the Shareholders pro rata according to the amount of business done by each Shareholder. A meeting of the Provisional Directors will bo held at the (Jrosvenor Hotel, Timaru, mi Saturday, November 27, when the shares then applied for will be allotted, and the date for the general meeting of Shareholders fixed for the appointment of Directors and the settlement of the Articles of Association. Forms of application for shares and any information may he had at the Offices of the National Bank, Timaru, and its branches, anv of the Directors, .Mr I loger Kitt, of Waimate; and Mr Corbett, of Geraldine. Intending applicants can peruse the proposed Articles of Memorandum of Association at either the National Bank Offices, Timaru ; or at the olliccs of A. St, G. Hamersley, Solicitor, Groat North road, Timaru.
