The Promoters of this Association wish to bring before the Public of Canterbury the great gains to be derived b} r ing in their midst a Company, to be worked purety on Co-operative principles, having certain objects for the furtherance of Farming - interests, and offering a great financial saving to each individual mem- j ber of the Public who may become Share- j holder. 1 The Promoters, also, have great confi- j deuce in bringing this Association before I the Public, as similar Cooperative lustitu | lions have been ipost successful in all parts | of the world, | Amongst the most important objects of i 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 rates iu charteied ships, allowing Shareholders advances on the produce so shipped or de posited with the Company for shipment or sale at the lowest rates. This the Pro motors think will be of the greasiest advan tage as the rates usually charged in Can terbury are excessively high. The Share holders 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 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 j will bo effected, as the difference between j the price of all articles in New Zealand j and in the places of their manufacture, whether of husbandry or of general consumption, is far greater than many individual purchasers are aware of. The Association will imc'i rfcakc any badness and make all arrangements that may be necessary with other firms 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 thej’ may think fit. The benefits derivable from tho Association will be strictly confined to its Shareholders. The profits of the Association, after paying interest at the rate of seven per cent per annum on paid-up capital, will be divided amongst Ml the Shareholders pro rata according to the amount of business done by each shareholder. A meeting of the Provisional Directors will be held at the Grosveaor Hotel, Timaru, on Saturday, November 27tli, wheu the shares then applied for will be alloted, and the date for the general nice - ing 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 be had at the Oflices of the National Bank, Timaru, and its branches, any of the Directors, Mr Roger Kitt, of Waimato ; and Mr Corbett, of Geraldine Intending applicants can persue the proposed Articles of Memorandum of Association at either the National Bank Offices, Timaru ; or at the Offices of A. St. Hamersley, Solicitor, Great North Road, Timaru. JOHN BUCKLE, Esq., will, before the meet ng to be held on 1 the 27tb November, 1880, visit the towns and d.striets of South Canterbury to receive applica I ti-ons for Shares, and to give any informa may be required as to toe objects, i
