Prospectus. ROSPEOTUS OF THE ASHBURTON Woollen Factory COMPANY, LIMITED. Capital : £25,000, in 5,000 Shares of £5 EACH. '• Ten Shillings on application, Ten Shil • ■ lings on allotment, and tho balance at intervals of not less than three months. Provisional Mr E. G. Wright ~ J. Wilkin, Christ church „ H. Oram, Christ church ~ D. Thomas, Christchurch „ J. Carter ~ Thomas Bullock Joseph Clark „ M. Stitt „ C. E. Fooks „ F. Mayo Directors : Mr E. Saunders „ J. Ward „ John Orr ~ A. W. Parsons ~ R. Friedlander ~ D. M'Lean ~ D. Oliver ~ J. Ivess ~ D. Cameron ~ D. Williamson ~ A. Dawson ~ S. Saunders ~ W. Horne Bankers: Union Bank of Australia, Ash burton. Solicitor; Mr. E. G. Crisp. Secretary (pro tern.): Mr S. E. Poj’ntz. 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. The promoters have arranged for the - purchase, ah a reasonable price, of a snit . 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 land for the purpose of working the ma , chinery. 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 tho following facts:—l. That woollen goods are imported into tho colony to a very large extent, on which freight and an import duty of IG£ per cent, have to he paid ; 2. I hat the same quality and description of goods can - be manufactured here at leas cost 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 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 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 i rest on invested capital, and at the same time establish a permanent industry in the colony. As a largo number of shares have already been applied for, early application is necessary. • Prospectus and forms of application nay be obtained from the Secretary, A sh aurton. . The Share List will close on May 18th. 228 e Hotels. 8 OUTH RAKAIA HOTEL. h The Undersigned (late of tho Hurunui Hotel) having taken the above Hotel, begs to inform his friends and the travelling public generally that they will always find there every comfort, combined with civility and economy.

The oldest of men tell us life is a span, Though the “lane without turning” seems long ; When sadness creeps into the heart of a man He should hurry it out with a song. Though the road be so rough that the progress is slow, Though our knees may Do aching with bumps, Twill bo changed if a little further So never be down in the dumps. Should folk disappoint—say, your tailor, to wit, With separate garment or suit, Visit G. J. F.

Please Reid 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. —Bbatii, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler 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 & Co., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. Wo use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried. — I. and A. Don, Dressmakers, Duncan street, Dunedin. We have had Wheeler and Wilson Machines in use for the last three years ; we find them more suitable than any other machines and very durable.— Yates Sons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilson Machines have given me entire satisfaction.

Cavanagh, Dressmaker, Caversham, Dunedin. We have 20 No. 6 Wheeler and Wilson’s in use ; we consider them the best for Leather Work ; they give entire satisfac tion.—Alderson & Sons, Manufactories, York street, Sydney. MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 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 less repair. The Now Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator. Inspect the Now Wheeler and Wilson ROTARY ACTION MACHINES And judge for yourselves. They run by hand and foot, and are warranted to give entire satisfaction. TIME PAYMENTS. TIME PAYMENTS.
