The whole sale Meath and Ship flour Business has been ex-
tensively developed during the put few yew, and now intends .
throughout the United Kingdom, the Colonise, and other parts
abroad.
Biscuits are now general articles of consumption, and all the
leading grocers, Italian warehousemen. confectioners, and
others retail them ; the demand Is enormous, and has so in-
creased, that additional tetanal:of supplying this favourite article
of fool have become Imperative.
A considerable time would necessarily be required for the
erection of buildings, plant, and machinery suitable for • fac-
tory, and dividend, would consequently have been delayed; but
the Directors of this Company have entered Into an agreement
with Messrs. Parkinson and Salmon for the purchase. on most
satisfactory terms, of their well-known premises, plant, and
machinery, known as The Plenum Ship Biscuit Works, Kateliff-
croak Stepney," and the goodwill of thatr old.estabilthed and
increasing twine's, with the bandit of all existing contracts.
These buildings, and also the plant and machinery, possess all
odern impruvementa. having been rebuilt and constructed
withln the last five yew, in consequence of the destruction of
the former premiles, de., by fire.
The hip biscuit business of Mews. Parkinson and Ralmon,
which Is the most extensive to t;,e kingdom,
will be continued,
and additional buildings, plant. and machinery will be at once
constructed for the manufacture of fancy biscuits of every kind.
Messrs Parkinson and Salmon have joined the Board of
Directors, and are so confident of the success of the Company,
that they have agreed to accept a large proportion of We pur-
chase money in paid up shares of the Company.
The Directors are also enabled to state that they have secured
the services of Mr. George Newman, as manager. He was for-
merly with Messrs. Huntley and Palmer, and afterwards with
Messrs. Pock, Preen, and Co., and his experience in the various
practical departments of the business, acquired in those leading
estabitshrnenta, eminently qualifies him for that position.
As the Company will he in receipt of the income of the busi-
ness on taking possession of the premises, early dividends may be
relied on.
Besides the Home Trade, the Export Trade to the Colonies Is
now tunable of almost ludennite eztensions and in Biscuits and
K lin-dried Flour for Ships a very large business can be trans-
acted.
The profits on the Biscuit and Ship ourbnainesa are unusually
greet compared with ~ther branches of commercial enterprise,
but se • large amount of capital is necessary for such under-
takings, as yet but few firms have entered into It.
It has been intimated that the working easital of the Com-
pany can be turned over on le average four times a fear, Pal-
log about 10 per cent. each time, or 40 per cent, per annum.
The public will have the benefit of the economy arising from
the employment of a large capital and efficient machinery, and
also the guarantee of a respoinible Company for the purity of
the articles supplied.
A copy of the memorandum and articles of association, and
of the agreement for purchase, may be seen on application at
they offices.
