Specimens ofCaswell Bound "Marble can be seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand ; the. Chamber of Commerce, Wellington, or on application to any of the Officers of the (Jompany. ' . '-..In introducing this eligible investment. to ' the notice of the public, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights' comprise the. best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Caswell Bound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable ?arieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and non-speoulative character, the ultimate success of thia venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is,l2s per foot, and ranges up to £6. Larger ] blocks are, however, muoh more valuable, . lome pure White Statuary; without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block I suitable for' a life-size human statue being about JEIOOO. The present cost of producing this Marble.by manual labour only is about 2s per cubic foot, f. o. b. These fignres may appear incredible, but they are nevertheless absolutely correct. Thus, taking the coat of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotations at 12a per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rate of 500 per cent, profit. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as these are leading ooinnvroial lines and the values well known: the facilities of production, shipment, high quality of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property in the world. We will alao venture to predict that the value of the Company's shares will increase at least 30O,per oent. within twelve months' of issue. Referring to consumption of these commodities, it is also enormous. , The consumption of Marble, Portland Cement and Lime, in the Australian Colonies alone dming the last twelve months has been. £2 872,600 sterling, and is. rapidly inoreaung. Ctfswell, Sound is a commodious --- and cafe harbor for" the largest vessels in all weathers, the works of the Company, being situated at: the water's edge. The Government of this colony has also promised to favorably consider, special grants and concessions in aid' as soon as the 'Company is successfully floated. For further particulars r# other minerals found at the Sound, capper, co»l, gold, &0., .also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, Ac, together with scientific, professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the objects and interi tions of the Company, we refer to the de tailed Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Comp«njt'« Agents, the B*nk of New Zealand, at any of their branches in this coteny and Austraf|a, or from any of the Company's Brokers, through whom all applications far Shares must be made before the 31st January, 1881. - NOTE—AII Shares will be allotted by priority of application. .Applications for Shares to be made to Mr JOHN-Lbicok, Auctioneer, Thames, who has been appointed Broker to the Company in - tbis (Thames) District. 1603 STEEDMAN'S SOOTHING POWDERS job ' CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. . CAUTION TO PURCHASERS. The value of this well known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world,; and by all grades of society, for up wards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, tome of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE bo closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, ' without which none are genuine j— Ist—ln every case the words JOHN BTEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY,' are engraved ca the Government Stamp'affixed to each packet. - and—Each Single Powder ■ has directions fop the dose, and. the words, John Stbkdkan, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed, thereon. , Brd—The name Steedman iB always spelt with two EB'e. . .
