Do not wait Next Week may be TOO LATE. ■VOL' have heard -Mr. Henry's remarks on the extent of the Taranaki oilfields. Sixty-one companies were formed in ONE day at Alberta, in Canada, a few days ago. We have possibly an emial extent of country. THE TARANAKI PETROLEUM COMPANY is probably THE KEY TO OUR FIELD, and will probably also be the controlling company. You will WANT to invest in the future and WILL NOT THEN have the opportunity to get in ON BED-ROCK, in the PEEMIER COMPANY, as you can do now. Opportunities do not come; you must make them. The terms are of the easiest—2s on, application, Is on allotment, and nearlv THREE YEARS to pay the balance, IF all The terms are f ment. and nearly Tl should he called ur Dear Sir or Madam,— I beg to call your attention to the Preference Shares of the above Company as a SOUND and PROFITABLE investment, and particularly as a means of ADVANCING your own interests and those of the province. The following are a few points, stated as concisely as possible, that I trust will appeal to you:— The Company has PROVED that oil exists in PAYABLE quantities and of a quality UNSURPASSED in the world. The Company is financially SOUND, but additional capital will largely ADD to its prosperity. By taking up its Preference Shares, which carry a preferential dividend of 7% per cent, you make it STRONG financially. Being strong financially, you place it in the best position to make the BEST POSSIBLE TERMS with a purchaser, being INDEPENDENT. You enable it to FURTHER DEVELOP its oil deposits, and consequently to ask the utmost price possible when selling. You assist it to erect a REFINERY, and so obtain the BEST VALUE for its oil products. What does the erection of a Refinsry mean to the District anu the Company? It will enable the Compan- to pay DIVIDENDS and make your investment a HIGHLY PROFITABLE cv.e. It will mean the ESTABLISHING of various INDUSTRIES. INDUSTRIES mean the employment of a LARGE amount cf LABOR. - The HOUSING* Of this labor will mean MORE EMPLOYMENT for all tradesmen, there being practically no empty houses in the town of New Plymouth. MORE LABOR will be required at the Stores to cope with the additional business. MORE CAPITAL will be CIRCULATED. NEW FIRMS will spring up and the old ones will employ ADDITIONAL hands. More FARM PRODUCE will be required of all sorts, which will mean higher and MORE STABLE values for land. The oil deposits BEING AT A PORT occupy an almost UNIQUE position, the heavy cost of PIPING from inland deposits being SAVED. The position of its properties may also give it a MONOPOLY of REFINING. The refined products can also be handled at a MINIMUM of expense, and necessary supplies imported cheaply. FUEL for industries will be CHEAP. There will be a LARGE INCREASE of SHIPPING at the harbor. If you already HOLD SHARES, it is all the more REASON for your TAKING MORE, as the placing of all the Preference Shares will give those you already hold additional value, and the paid-up shares that arc now at a discount will reach par or be at a premium. Do you want your DISTRICT TO PROGRESS! Then help the most promising of all your industries by filling in the accompanying » application form and forwarding it to me, with '2s per share applied for, or to the company. You can help awarding to -our means. Ten shares involve only a small annual outlay, as the pay men!; is spread over nearly THREE YEARS if all the money should hj«. called up. V. only this small cumber is taken up by all, the amount inquired would be largely OVER-SUBSCRIBED, and the preference shares would soon me at a PREMIUM, Under 7000 shares are now required, so send b your application promptly and the Refinery can- be started.
