Specimens of Caswell Sound Marble can bo seen at any of the Museums in New Zealand; the Chamber of Commerce, Wellington; or on application to aDy of the Officers of the Ctom- PI InmtrodiiciDg this eligible investment tolhe notice ot the publio, the promoters desire to state that the Company's rights compri*e the best, most available, extensive, and perhaps most valuablQ Marble deposits in tbo known world, at all events in tho Southern Hemisphere. This la suflleiently proved by Caswell Sound Marble securing the first prize at tho late Sydney Exhibition against Italian Statuary and other valuablo varieties. They a.BO wi.h to dwell upon its known certainty and non epeculativa character, the ultimate successor this venture being now well established. The lowest quotation for this Marble is 12s per foot, and ranges up to £5, Larger blocks, aro, how ever, much more valuable, some pure White Statua. y, without flaws, realising as much as £20,000 sterling in Europe. Tha ordinary price for a block suitable for a life-size hu xan Btatue being about £1000. I The present cost of produc ing tbi» Marble by manual labor only is about 2s ncr cubic (oot, f.o.b. These figures may appear incredible, but they aro nevertheless absolutely correct. This, taking the cost of production as i stated and the very lowest wholesale quotation at 12a per foot, gives the apparently fabulous minimum rato of 500 per cont. profit. It is therefore, no visionary matter, as these are lead ing corumerciaUinesandthe values well known, tho facilities of production, shipment, hieh , quality of produot, giving a vast advantage over . any like property in the world. Wo will also Ten- ■ turo to prediot lhat the value of the Company s hares will ncroase at least 300 per cent, within twolvelmonths of issue. Referring to consump tion of these coramodi ties, it is also enormouß; The consumption of Marble. Portland Cement, and Lime, in the Australian Colonies, alone during the last twelve months has been , £2 872,600 sterling, and rapidly increasing.
