I This Company is farmed 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 J New Zealand; and 2nd. For acquiring, when deemed advisable, landed property situated in or near to citins 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 is.an almost 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 public—particularly 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 tha (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 thaj;of deferring payment of the price,—so much bsing 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 of 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 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 hmited resources, not only to pay large divi- 1 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. jier 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 Isew Zealand, so that a laree paid-up Capital is not necessary. ■ Prospectuses, with Forms of Application for Shares, may be obtained at the Ofnces of thn Company, or from- the Bankers, at the Welling ton Office, or at any of the Branches, andtifo Memorandum and Articles of Association may be seen m the hands of the Secretary Should no Allotment he made, the Deposit will be returned without any deduction Lloyd's Rooms, Brandon-street, Wellington, October, 1878.
