Charles Street, Kaiapoi. THIS Company was established in July, 1878, with a capital of £15,000 in 15 shares of £I,OOO each, to carry on the business of Woollen Manufacturers, and accepted the offer of the Hon. J. T. Peacock, for the purchase of the Premises and Plant of the Canterbury Spinning, Weaving, and Fibre Company at about habits originalcost, since which, considerable additions have fi’om timeto timebeen made to the plant, the latter now comprising four sets of Carding Engines, and thirty-five Adorns with necessary machinery, which, with the addition of machinery just' arrived, makes the plant « ell-proportioned and very complete. The sum of £1,200 has , been - paid since stock-taking, for last additions to buildings and machinery just received (jper Loch Awe. ■ )’■ '■ •. • ■ The Manufactory, with the addition of the machinery per Loch. Awe, though com plete in itself, will not however enable the Company to meet the greatly increased demand which has arisen for their goods, although, as hitherto, continuing to run a large portion of the machinery night ancl'day, and having Conclusively.proved that the present heads of departments are capable of working a Mill twice the Size of the'pre sent, one at a saving of at least £2,000 a year on the general working of the Company’s business, they have with a view to providing\ext6nded premises : and appliances, decided to increase the Capital from £15,000 to £IOO,OOO, ihq whole to be represented by 40Cf0 shares of £25 each, of which the existing shareholders will be entitled to 825 fully, paid up, in exchange for the shares now held by them the accumulated profit thereupon amounting to £3,744) ; ol the 'residue, the Directors propose to issue at present only 1,600. The increased capital will be applied to the f ollowing purposes, viz.: —Paying off exist ing mortgage of £7,400 ; enlarging present premises and plant ; establishing pre mises in Christchurch ; and for the general purposes of the Company. The following may be enumerated among the special advantages in favor of Share holders, viz. : —The original plant was purchased at about half-cost, the staff is now well-trained and efficient, which will obviate the difficulties and avoid a. repetition of the losses experienced during the first eighteen months of the Company’s operations, while the whole of the dead stock was cleared out previous to stock-taking, July Ist, 1880. > ’ # A good and safe business has been developed, which is steadily increasing, and is capable of being worked up to a mubh greater extent. All the risks and expenses con nected with the formation of a. new company will be avoided, and, as can be seen by a perusal of the last balance-sheet, the ACw Shareholders will at once enter into possession of a good paying concern. The present Shareholders shew their faith in the concern in the most practical manner possible by taking the amount of £3,744 (accumulated profit, equal to 16 per cent, per annum on the paid up Capital) in fully paid up shares, instead of drawing the amount which they are entitled to do. -.. The Company now offers tof investors an opportunity to develop a Colonial Industry which has established for itself a good reputation and meets with popular support, and which will, it is expected, shortly employ about 400 hands, and at the same time securing to Shareholders a good return for the Capital invested. Intending' Shareholders can obtain any information, with an order to view the Factory, from the Directors, or on application at the Office of the Company. The Share List will close on October Ist, 1880. In making the allotment the Directors will take into consideration the order in which the applications are made. The sum of £1 per share will be payable on application ; £2 10s. per share on allot-. ment; and the balance in calls of not more than 50s. per share at intervals of not less three months. , . ■• .' In this manner the time for fully paying up will be extended to not less than two years and three months. All Applications with £1 per share deposit, tosbe forwarded to the Chairman of Directors not later than October Ist, 1880.
