Prospectus. pROSPE CTUS OP THE ASHBURTON Woollen Factory COMPANY, LIMITED. Capital : £25,000, in 5,000 Shares op HIV-' ’ £5 EACH, ifen Shillings on application. Ten Shil lings on allotment, and the balance at intervals of not less than three months. Bankers; Union Bank of Australia, Ash u' burton. Solicitor: Mr. E. G. Crisp. Seckbtasy (pro tem.): 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 cpnyprtin:? the wool into manufactured goods; 'and'of selling such goods wholesale or other wise, ,jThe,,.promoters have arranged for the purchase, at a reasonable price, of a suit able site with water power, on the bank qLbhe, 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 lirid for the purpose of working the ma chinery- Efficient machinery, to the value of £lysoo, has already been secured, which ig. capable of being worked by either steam orYvater power. ’.Taking into consideration the following f^cts:—l. That woollen goods are imported into the colony to a very large extent, on which freight and an import duty of IG| par cent, have to be paid ; 2. That the same quality and description of goods can be., manufactured here at less cost by S' ing tho locally-produced wool; 3. That e present New Zealand factories have ijiotwith great success, but at the same time are quite inadequate to the task of supplying the increasing demand; and, 4. That the 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 tc the public. , 'Objection might bo 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 foil- consideration of the matter, believe they have taken the wisest course, as, in dependently 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 auibuht, persons of limited means as well aircapitalista will bo 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 the same time establish a permanent industry in the colony. - An a , large number of shares have already beep applied for, early application iaipeoeissary. and forms of application may be obtained from the Secretary, A sh tetesa-.v ■The S.har© .List will close on May 18th. 228 e jML Hotels.

MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, iBSi Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheeler 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 less friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much , more durable, and needs loss repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more , and greater improvements than any other t sewing machine, and is the fastest, making j over 1,000 stitches per minute. . CAUTION. j Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing , Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator.

(See 1 testimonials under.) | This Ash-Closet differs from the Earth 1 Closet, inasmuch as it makes use of ordi- ■ nary house ashes, instead of dry earth. ' By the pressure upon the seat the ash dust is separated from the cinders and scattered over the soil on each use of the Closet, and so any bad smells are pre vented. The cinders are saved for re-burning. A valuable ready-made manure is pro duced j No other closet does the above without infringing this patent. Dry earth may be used with the Cinder sifting Ash Closet, but ashes (unless pre viously sifted) cannot be used with the Earth Closet. It answers equally as well for wood ashes or dry earth. No well-regulated household should be without them. Only emptied every twelve months. Saves the first expense in two years. The manure manufactured by the cinder-sifter is valued at 25s per ton at Home. The patent can bo adapted to old closets. The system is inexpensive. Costs little, if any, more than the old-fashioned privy. Requires no extra attention. Is simple in construction. Cannot get out of order. Is equally suited to the mansion and the cottage. Is much appreciated by the cottager. Over 50,000 in use.
