PROSPECTUS.
This Company is formed to acquire the valuable
nesses carried on by Madame Pherese and Co., at their
respective premises hereinafter mentioned, and to sell
, every description of first-class Millinery, Dress Silks, rte.
to the Shareholders and Members of the Company at
wholcsalcprices, and to the general public at a profitable,
but much lower prices than are now charged at retail
shops.
The great beneflie which co-operation confers on
individual customers is now an established fact ; but
while no branches of business offer such a wide scope
for the application and development of this principle as
the Millinery and Dress Silk 'Trades, purchasers of these
articles, although always paying extravagant prices ( and
often for very inferior goods), nave as yet had no real
opportunity of availing themselves of the full advantages
of co-operative trading therein.
The present Company will frilly meet this requirement
as every Shareholder and Member will derive as much
benefit from its operations as if each individual had
purchased IN BULK DIRECT from the manufacturer and
producer.
It may perhaps appear strange that the profits on
Millinery and Dress Silks are exceptionally large, it is
however, absolutely correct that from FORTA TO FIFTY
PER CENT, profit is charged on silks, and as DitICR SS ONE
TO TWO HUNDRED PER CENT, is made upon the cost of
millinery bonnets, trimmed hats, evening dress caps,
oullarettes, dcc.. etc., which constitute in their many
varied qualities and fashions the business of a milliner.
In reference to dress silks the recent expose in the
public press has called general attention to the present
most unsatisfactory (if nut dishonest) mode of manufac-
turing this important article of commerce ; the fact
being that a great portion of the so-called silks now
sold, instead of being really silk, consists of from one-
third to one-half their weight of injurious chemicals
, and dyes, the result being that hardly any" wear" is
obtained from the highest priced frbrice.
. Special and very advantageous arrangements are pend-
ing with several of the most eminent home and foreign
silk a anufaoturers, t 3 supply black, coloured, and hussy
silks, of various qualities and prices, in a PERFECTLY
PURE STATE, and ENTIRELY FREE from admixture with
tie eteriour substances ; the Shareholders and customers
of this Company will, therefore, be exclusively supplied
with an article of the very best description at the lowest
possible wholesale price.
Every article sold or used by the Company will be
purchased for the lowest cash price, direst from the re-
epective manufacturers, producers, or importers, thus
saving the several profits now absorbed by the various
"middlemen" who stand between the manufacturer and
customer; and looking at the enormous amount of
business whieh,. under the ciremstances, the Company
must command, it is believed that a profit of at least
from 15 to 20 per cent will accrue to the Shareholders on
capital invested.
It is intended, as soon as possible, to associate with
Millinery and Silks,Dressmaking, Costumes, and Ladies'
and Children's first-class underclothing.
This general combination will largely augment profits,
by obtaining greatly increased returns at very small
extra working expenses. as the Company will purchase
wholesale direct from the prooucers, and then by means
01 its awn siwps, workpeople, and assistants, supp'y ail
,siticles at once into the hands of cu-turners.
The profits are purposely set forth at from 15 to 20
ior cent per annum, in order to be well within the margin
out it is anticipated they will average, if not exceed, 25
per cent per annum upon the amount of capital invested.
