A. Williamson With power to add to their number. Capital, £6,500, in 1,000 shares of £6 10s each. Payments, 10s per share on application, 10s per share on allotment, and 10s per share one month after allotment, and the balance in calls of £1 per share at intervals of not less than two months, twenty-eight days after advertised notice. Bankers : The National Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor: G. D. Hamerlou, Esq. The object for which this Company is formed is to purchase and work Steamers on the trade between Waitara and other Ports on the Coast. The want of a good steamer to do the rapidly increasing trade between Waitara, Manukau, and the other ports of the Colony, and the pro posed trade with the Mokau River, (which from present appearances, carefully viewed, would shortly become very important), is now keenly felt among business men, both in New Plymouth and Auckland, and in order to meet the increas ing demand, it is necessary that a suitable steamer adapted to the trade should be procured at once, by which means cattle and sheep pro ducers ,'can at once secure a certain and ready market for their produce, and on the other hand Merchants and Storekeepers can depend oh receiving their orders from the Auckland market punctually, instead of being subiect to the caprice of the present Company's steamers calling or passing the roadstead. Furthermore, the cost of transit will be consider ably reduced. The promoters of the Company, in fixing the above-mentioned rate of payments of calls, consider that it should meet with the hearty support of the settlers, who will be the principal gainers by having a means of conveyance to carry their surplus stock and produoe to a profitable market. In the event of the whole of the sharesbeing applied for, the promoters do not consider it will be necessary to call up the whole of the Capital, but should it be necessary so to do, the payments will extend over a period of at least twelve months, which should make it convenient for every one to take a small interest in the Company. The Directors trust that all persons in business will take at least a small interest in the Company as Shareholders, inasmuch as each individual Shareholder would be likely to exert himself in promoting the well fare of the Company by using the Company's Boat for any importation or exportation at his disposal. A number of the Shares will be offered to the public in the Ports to which it is intended the Boat shall trade, but the Company will be managed by a Local Directory, and have its Head Office at New Plymouth. The Share Li3t will close on the 16th day of Juns next. Applications for Shares can be made through any of the Provisional Directors, or direct to the Secretary, at the Company's temporary Office, Devon-street, New Plymouth. T. E. HAMERTON. lnteiim Secretary. Ju\ IR S T O- UAL IT V ME A T n ; The undersigned respectfully requests the Sublie to inspect the Splendid Quality of his laily Meat Supply.
