Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can be seen at"'ariyof the' Museums in New Zealand ; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington, or on application to any;, of the Officers of the Company. ¥■'•'■ '•' inintroducing this jsKgible investment _to the notice of the publjo^.the^p»oinoterß desire to state that the Company's rights comprise the best, most available, extensive, nnd perhaps most valuable Marble deposits in the known world, at all events in the Southern Hemisphere. This is sufficiently proved by Cuswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at the late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuable varieties. They also wish to dwell upon its known certainty and non-speculative character, the ultimate success of this, venture beiag now well estab HsheS. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5. Larger block's are, however, muoh more valuable, some pure White Statuary, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. The ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-Biza human statue being about ieiOOO. The present coat 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 correot.. Thus, taking.lhe ;cost of production as stated and the very lowest wholesale quotations at 12s per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rare of 500 per cent, profit. It is, therefore, no visionary matter, as thesa are leading cotem roial lines and the values well known: tb - facilities of production, fcbipment, high quality, of product, giving a vast advantage over any like property in the world. We will also venture to predict that the value of the Company's shares will increase at least '300 per cent, 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 during the last twelve months has been. £2.872,600 sterling,-! and is rapidly increasing. Caswell Sound is a commodious and safe harbor for the largest vessels in all weathers, tbe works of the Company beine situated at the wuter's edgu. The Government of this co'ony has also promised to favorably consider special grants and concessions in aid as soon as the Company is ; anccessfully floated. For further' particulars re other minerals found at the Souud, capper, coal,, gold, &c, also the manufacture of hydraulic cement, lime, &o, together with scientific), professional, Government, and other reports, with details of the obj-cts and intentions of the Company, we refer to the detailed Prospectus, which can be obtained upon application to any of the officers of the Company's Agents, the B»nk of New Zealand, at any of their branches in this colony and Australia, or from, any of the Company's Brokers, through whom all applications fer Shares must be made before the 3lßt January, 1881. . Note—All Shares will be allotted by priority of application Applications for Shares to be made to Mr JOHN LkTDON, Auctioneer, Thames, who has been appointed Broker to the Company in ! this (Thames) District. 1603 , QTJSEDMAJS'S SOOTHING POWDERS 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 wardß of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned extensive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITATIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so 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 ;—: Ist—ln every case the words JOHN, STEEDMAN, CHEMIST, WALWORTH SURREY, are engraved oa the Government ' Stamp affixed to each packet. , 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words, John Stbebman, j Chemist, "Walwortb, Surrey, printed thereon. fed—-The name. Steedman is always spelt trith fcwo BE's. m 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely at Walwortjb, Surrey. Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medicine Tendori.
