The object of the Company is the supply of wholesome Meat to shareholders and^consumers at less than can be done by private establishments, FOR CASH, or guaranteed abort accounts. The nominal capital of the Company is £4000, in 4000 shares of £1 each. 10s of which will only be called up. Arrangements will be made to secure suitable business premise* and an efficient manager. Credit will only be given to Shareholders, and only to the extent of the value of shares held, thus providing against the possibility of bad debts. The saving thus effected will, it i* estimated, be sufficiently large to pay 10 per cent interest on capital invested, and a bonus of 10 per cent to consumers ; and good wholesome Meat at a less price than can be done on the credit system. ft o shareholder will be allowed to hold more than 100 shares. Above 1200 shares have already been disposed of. As soon as 2000 shares shall have been subscribed for, a meeting of shareholders will be held, and directors chosen. Early application necessary, as business will be commerced with the new year. The 10s will be called up in monthy instalments of 2s 6d each. A list of shareholders can be seen at A. DornweU s office, Queen street, from whom all further particulars may he obtained ; also, the proposed rules of the Society. Extract of a letter received from the Co-operative Society, "Whaugaiei :—" With reference to the progress of the Society I may state that it has rather exceeded our most sanguine expectations. We have been desirous to see the system inaugurated in Auckland, where a sort of head central store should be established."—(Signed) J T. Rkybuhn. The Secretary of the MahuraDgi Co-operative Society writes wi'h regard to that Company ■—" It is at present and has beea doing well. It has brought down prices 20 per cent, and the most liberal of the former storekeepers has reduced his profits con siderably, but has done more business in con sequence " A Shareholder writes: —" I fully believe in the system aDd feel confident whe^e properly and. economically managed there can be no doubt of its success." A gettleman connected with the Wel'iogton Co-operative Butchering and Cattle Dealing Society writes ;—" It will prove a great success, and similar companies wiil eventually be established in all the large t rovincial towns Toe Secretary of the Corn puny some time ago started a Co-operative Bread and Biscuit business on the above system, which has not nly been the meanx of teducing the price of bread, ut also of making many of our old established men I tire from business.
