Public Noti TO SHEEP OWNERS district.—Dipping <J< charges. H, SI 4 682 Public notice is hereby



PROSPECTUS OF THE Ashburton woollen manu facturing COMPANY (LIMITED). (To bo Registered under the Joint Stock Companies Act, 1882.) Capital L 30.000 (with power to increase to L5l),000), divided into shares of L 5 each. Provisional Directors— George H. Greenwood (Chairman) T. Bullock, J.P. E. G. Crisp, Geo. Coleman J. Chalmers C. T. Dudley, J.P O. Dig by H. Friedlander,J.P. J ohnGrigg, M. H. R. O. J. Harper, J. K O. Q. Hawdon, J.P. A. Harrison G Jenkins Goo Jameson ■ on. J. McLean J. Orr C. W. Purnell Dr Robs G. Scott D. Thomas K. G. Wright D. Williamson J. Ward Robert Wilkin, J.P. Bankers—Bank of Australasia. Solicitor—o. W. Purnell. Secretary—Alfred Bunting.



The Provisional Directors, having ar ranged for the purchase of the land, buildings, and woollen manufacturing machinery lately belonging to the Ash burton Woollen Factory Company, have decided to form a Company for the (pur pose of completing the work and com mencing the manufacture of woollen goods as early as possible. (o) The section of land on which the buildings are erected faces the main road from Ashburton to Mount Somers, and contains seven acres of freehold, distant miles from the Ashburton railway station, and in every way well suited to the purpose for which it has been selected. (6) The buildings, which are of brick and exceedingly well built, include engine-house, boiler-house, drying room, main mill-room (200 ft x 80ft), mechanic’s shop, woolshed, dyehouse storerooms and offices. (c) The machinery includes 36-h.p. en gine and boilers, wool-scouring ma chines, scribblers and condensers, mules, twisting frame, looms, milling and finishing machinery, all quite new and of the latest English design. The laud, buildings and machinery are offered to the public for L 6,600 (being LB,OOO less than the actual original cost) To connect the shafting with the engine and machinery, which is now being done, and to put the whele into thorough work ing order, a further expenditure of LI,OOO may be required ; the Company will then have a Factory complete in every respect, fitted with the most modern appliances, at two-thirds less cost than any other Com pany in the colony ; the total cost not ex ceeding L 6,600. Mr Greenwood, who is at present acting as chairman, has had large experience in the manufacture of woollen goods in Eng land and is well acquainted with the re quirements; of the colony. Under his supervision the machinery is, being placed in position, to be ready for active opera tions when the next clip of wool comes te hand in October next.



Other factories in the colony, started under much less favorable auspices, are now paying with regularity dividends of 10 per cent, as well as placing substantial amounts to their respective reserve funds. It is, therefore, with much confidence the Provisional Directors recommend the un dertaking to the public as a thoroughly sound and safe investment.



The Provisional Directors have already subscribed for LIO,OOO worth of shares, and now invite applications for the re mainder. Five shillings per share will be payable on application ; five shillings per share on allotment; and the balance will be called up as occasion may require, at the rate of five shillings per share, at intervals of not less than two months.



Applicacions foe shares will be received by any of the Provisional Directors, the Oompany’s bankers, or by the Secretary. 6 867
