This Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon tne security of landed property situated within the Colony of New Zealand; and 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to cities'or towns, or centres of population, n the Colony of New Zealand, and thereafter selling it again in whole or in lots as may suit purchasers. With a fast increasing population both in town and country, a very fine climate, and land of great fertility opened up by the construction of roads and railways, there ia an almost in exhaustible field for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it. is one very Jittl.j occupied. This Company intends to occu; y that field, and to offer to the public—pai ucularly to farm settlers, and the working population generally— facilities for acquiring property, and_ for erecting . houses, or effecting other substantial improve- ' ments thereon, on reasonably moderate terms. And the Company can do so profitably to the Shareholders, while at the same time help is given to people who are willing to pay ade quately for the advantages and accommodation offered.' ■. •_ ..,,- ■.'■■■■ _ .:■ :: ; ■~..'..■ ■. . .-. In no case will money be ient otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kept. The system which prevaila all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring payment of the price,—so much being paid as a' > deposit when the purchase is made, and the remainder by bills for instalments, spread over a limited period of from one to three years, the title being only granted when the price is fully paid up. This Company, in consequence o£ being in a position to pay in Cash at once, will certainly be able to buy property on much more favourable terms than buyers on deferred payments ; and it is certain that, by the exercise of ordinary care, a safe and very profitable kind of business can be done by bujing land and Belling again in lots to suit purchasers. It is very well known that Companies in New- Zealand having objects similar to those of this- Company have oeen able, notwithstanding very limited resources, not only to pay large divi dends, but also to add to capital. It is not intended to call up more than £1 per- Share, at the outset at least. The Promoters consider that, with 10s. per share paid up, the Company may make a fair beginning; and they confidently anticipate that, besides paying a good dividend to the Shareholders, the Directors will also, by judicious investments in landed property, be able from time to time, out of" profits, to make additions to Capital. The turn over of Capital will be quick, and there will no doubt be available soon a considerable amount of money from deposits made by people both at Home and in New Zealand, so that a large paid-up Capital is not necessary. Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may be obtained at the Offices of the- Company, or from the Bankers, at the Welling ton Office, or at any of the Branches, and the Memorandum and Articles of Association mar be seen in the hands of- the Secretary. Should no Allotnient be made, the Deposit" will be returned without any deduction - Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, ~ I Wellington, October, 1878. j^OGS TO THE MILLSr The undersigned haviDg completed arrange ments for a constant supply of Logs to the One hunga Saw-mills, by means of tramways and steamer, begs to inform Contractors and Builders that, from this date, he will be enab: e d to supply upwards of 70 logs weekiy u> il.e above mills, so that customers can depend upon their orders being executed on the shortest notice Seasoned Timber, Matched flooring, Rusti cated Weather Board*.
