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 furtberence 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 confidence 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. Tin’s the Association will do by exporting the produce for its Shareholders at the lowest rates in chartered ships, allowing Shareholders advances on the produce so shipped or deposited with the Company for shipment or sale at the lowest rates. Tliis the Promoters think will be of the greatest advantage, as the rates usually changed in Canterbury are excessively high. The Shareholders of the Association will therefore be 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 bo 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 husbandry or of general consumption, is far greater than many individual purchasers arc aware of. The Association will undertake any business and make all arrangements that may be necessary with other firms for the ' furtherance and better carrying out of its objects. The Directors arc empowered by the Articles of Association to make advances to its Shareholders on properties or other securities as they may think fit. The benefits derivable from the Association will be strictly confined to its Shareholders. The profits of the Association, after paying interest at tho 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 Share holdci;. A meeting of the Provisional Directors will be held at the Grosvenor Hotel, Timaru, on Saturday, November .27, when the shares then applied for will bo allotted, and the date for the general meeting of Shareholders fixed for the appointment of Directors and the settlement of the Articles of A.ssbciation. ' Forms of application for shares and any information may bo bad at tho Offices of the National Bank, Timaru, and its brandies, any of the Directors, .Mr Roger 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 offices of A. St. G. Hamersley, Solicitor, Great North road, Timaru, John Buckle, Esq., will, before the meet* ing, to be held on the 11th December, 1880, visit the towns and districts of South Canterbury, to receive applications for shares and to give any information that may, be required as to the object, Arc, Ac, of the Association.
