Secretary (pro fern.): Mr S. E. Poyntz. The Company is proposed to be formed for the establishment of a Woollen Fac tory, for the purposes of providing a local market for wool grown in the district; of converting the wool into manufactured goods, and of selling such goods wholesale or otherwise, i !«The promoters have arranged for tne purchase, at a reasonable price, of a suit able site with water power, on the bank - of the Ashburton river, about three ■ quarters of a mile from the township, and arrangements have been made for the con struction of a water-race through the 1 ; lanfl for the purpose of working the ma ‘ ‘ Efficient machinery, to the value of £1,500, has already been secured, which is capable of being worked by either steam ' or water power. . Taking into consideration the following facts: 1. That woollen goods are imported "into the colony to a very large extent, on "which freight and an import duty of 16$ ' per cent, have to be paid ; 2. That the - quality and description of goods can 1 he manufactured here at less coat by using the locally-produced wool; 3. That ■ the present New Zealand factories have • met with great success, but at the same time are quite inadequate to the task of supplying the increasing demand; and, 4. That tho proposed factory would have a great advantage in being situated in the centre of a large wool-producing district, —the Provisional Directors feel that they may confidently submit this prospectus to the public. Objection might be taken to the small ness of the proposed capital as insufficient for carrying on the business on a lucrative scale, but the Provisional Directors, after full consideration of the matter, believe they have taken the wisest course, as, in > dependency of other reasons, they believe " that after the factory is in working order and an established fact, any capital re quired for a more extended business could be obtained with greater ease and readiness. .. As the shares have been fixed at a small amount, persons of limited means as well as Capitalists will be enabled to invest in .. the undertaking, which, in the course of time, is calculated to yield a good inte rest on invested capital, and at tho same time establish a permanent industry in the large number of shares have already been applied for, early application is necessary.



Prospectus and forms of application may be obtained from the Secretary, Ash burton. The Share List will close on May Jsth. 2280 Hotels.

It is admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of SEWING MACHINES. Please Read Their Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler and Wilson has more than realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Labor, our work people express a decided pre ference for them on account of the ease with which they are workeC,— Beath, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheoler and Wilson. Machines are the best we have in use ; they do more work and require less labor than any others we have tried.—A. Masters A Co., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried.— l. and A.

MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheblek and Wilson Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well.” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much loss friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvement* than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION.
