C \PITAL £1 : 000,000 In 200,000 Shares of £5 each, with power to increase. 100,000 Shares are proposed to be placed in New } Zealand, and 100,000 to be reserved for ; subscription in the United Kingdom. ) Proposed Calls:—2s 6d per Share on applica tion; 2s 6d per Share on allotment; 2s6dpei Share two months after allotment; and 2s 6d per Share four months after allotment ; Six months to be given of any further calls. Provisional Directors : The Hon. Wm. Hunter Reynolds, of Dunedin, M.L.C. of New Zealand. The Hon. John Martin, of Wellington, M.L.C, of New Zealand. The Hon. John Ballance, Colonial Treasurer oi New Zea'anrt. • The Hon. Robert Stout, Attorney-General oi New Zealand. James Allen. Esq., of Dunedin. C. Julius Toxward, Ksq., Surveyor, Wellington. Thomas whyte young, Esq., Merchant, Wel lington. Robert Gre3nfleld, Esq., Merchant, Wellington. Bankers: The Bank of Australasia. Solicitors : ■ Messrs. Sievwright a»d Stout, Wellington. SURVKYOR AND VALUATOR : C.Julius Toxward, Esq., Wellington. Interim Secretary : William Sievwright, Esq., Solicitor, Wellington. Temporary Offices : 3 Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, Wellington., This Company is formed for two objects: Ist and chiefly—For lending money at current rates of interest upon the security of landed property situated within the Colony of New Zealand; and ■ 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, 1 landed property situated, in or near to citi«s or towns, or centres of population, in the Colony of New Zealand, and th«reafter 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 is an almoßt in exhaustible field for the profitable investment of money in the manner proposed by this Com pany, and it is one very little occupied. This Company intends to occupy that field, and to . offer to the publio—particularly to farrri settiers, 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 lent otherwise than upon the security of landed property, a safe margin being always kept. The system which prevails all over the Colony in the buying of land, is that of deferring payment of the price,—po much bbing paid as a deposit when the purchase is mad-*, and the remainder by bills for intta ments, 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 of being in a position to pay in Cash at once, vrill certainly be able to huy 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 selling 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 been 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 wfi.l 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 i 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 may ■ be?seen in the hands of the Secretary. , Should no Allotment be made, the Deposit will be returned without any deduction. ) LHoyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, ' Wellington, October, 1878.
