THE PATENT OVAL SAMSON FENCE WIRE Has now been before the publie for four years, and during that time 5,000 TONS HAVE BEEN SOLD Giving very great satisfaction, in proof of which we hold numerous testimonials from well-known colonists ; and the demand is daily increasing to such an extent, that numerous spurious imitations have lately been introduced in the various markets of Australia and New Zealand, for the sole - purpose of damaging the reputation of the Patent Oval Samson Wire. The Samson. Wire By using the Patent Oval Fence Wire you got' a better and cheaper fence than any other, and the best proofs are the imitations already referred to. comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on applicatiou. The state Forests of Victoria are fenced with the Patent Oval Samson Fence Wire; the one at Dookie is, without doubt, the best Wire Fence in Australia, and people come from great distances to see it. PRICES GREATLY REDUCED The public, when purchasing, are there fore cautioned to see that each coil bears a tin tally thus : PATENT OVAL SAMSON WIRE, in oval ; And the Patentee’s Tally or Trade . Mark : M B R IN PADLOCK. Manufactured, by the Whitecross Wire Company, Warrington, England. Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand ; and the principalclaim set fourth was itsbeingmade Oval to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face of these patents, firms—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro duction of various spurious imitations, which render them liable to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any persen erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit; therefore, after this notice no excuse can be made. Wehave had instancesbrought under our notice where scmepersonshave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the Patent Oval Samson in order to make a sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article. We have a great aversion to take legal proceedings in this matter, but shall be compelled-to, in self-defence, unless these practices are at once stopped.

Public Notices. PROSPECTUS OF THE Kaiapoi Woollen Manufacturing Com pany, Limited. CAPITAL, £IOO,OOO, IN 4000 SHARES OF £25 EACH. DIRECTORS : Isaac Wilson, Esq., Chairman, G. H. Blackwell, Esq., E. Parniiam, Esq., Ancl Two to be Elected after the Allotment of New Shares. BANKERS : Bank of New Zealand. SOLICITORS : Messrs. Garrick and CoWLISHAW. Registered Office ... 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 half its original cost, since which, considerable additions have from time to time been made to the buildings and plant, the latter now comprising four sets of Carding Engines, and thirty-five Looms with necessary machinery, which, with the addition of machinery just arrived, .makes the plant n 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 per'Loch Awe. >‘ r; 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, ralthough, as hitherto; continuing to run a large portion of the machinery night ,and 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 extended premises, and appliances, decided to increase the Capital from £15,000 to £IOO,OOO, the whole to be represented by 4000 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 (including the accumulated profit thereupon amounting to £3,744); of the 'residue, the Directors propose to issue at present-only 1,600.. The inpyeased capital will be applied to the following purposes, viz :—Paying off exist ing mortgage of £7,400 ; enlarging present premises and plant; establishing pre- 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 much 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 new 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 to 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 vi6W 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, to be forwarded to the Chairman of Directors not later than October Ist, 1880. BALANCE SHEET, JUNE 30, 1880. LIABILITIES. £ s. d.
