SECRETARY (PRO TEM.)
Arthur Dossor, Esq.

The Company has been formed for purchasing and ex-
tending the well-known iron ship-building establishmenties
t of
Mes:rs. Martin ,amuelson and Co., of Hull. The cap
abi li
of these works are unsurpassed by any in the kingdom-they
occupy 11 acres of ground. with water frontage to the river
Humber and river Hull, having a depth of water of 30 feet.
The present iron rhip-building power of the establishment
is equal to the construction of 20,00 d tons per annum, at
which rate the works are now being carried on. Messrs.
Samuelson and L.opany have orders on hand for ships ex-
ceeding 20,00 tons; other large orders are offered, and it is
proposed to take 11 acres of land adjoining the present y ird,
and which Messrs. Samuelson and Company eve secured,
so as to extend the works to meet the large daily increasing
profitable demand tor ships, and to ereA rolling mills for the
manufacture of the iron required for ship buil,ing, as well as
for all kinds of railway and engineer,ng works.
In addition to the engineering works, foundry, and ship-
buildieg yards, there is a patent slip for repairing ships of
the largest class. This is a highly profitable p
art o the busi-
ness. The demand for the use of this patent slip has been
such that it has neconstructed itver been unempat a loyecons d since
ide ra llleble cost some
ssrs. Samuel-
s n and Company
years ago.
The situation of this establisves itecial advan-
tages over others of a like characthmenter. The pri es opf ship-build-
ing labour is lower at Hull than in any of the iron ship-
building ports of the kingdom; it is in the great iron district
of Yorkshire; coal is cheap, railway s run into the works,
and connuct them with all parts of England. Freights are
very moderate from Hull, and the large timber trade of
Hull olers advantages for the purchase of the timber, which
is used in large quantities, on highly advantageous con-
ditions.
all at
Two thousand workmen are now•employed at the works.
The present orders in hand for ships, eennes, and general
engineering work amount to above £300,00, very mu-
nerative prices.
Reports made by some of the most eminent engineers who
have examined the works, and who are specially acquainted
with this branch of manufacture, show that alter making
large allowances-3) per cent. off the capabilities of the
woras, the trade will, with the judicious management and
employment of the capital, return a dividend of 20 per cent.
and upwards to the sbareholders, and if the works continue
to be fully employed, a much larger amount.
Tha te!ms of 1 urchase are highly advantageous ; the plant
and machinery, buildings, freehold and leasehold premises,
together with al the stock of materials, are to b.. taken at
the valuation of two engineers, one named by the Company
and the other by the vendors, with an umpire in the usual
way. The goodwill of the business, including
the r
on works In hand, is to be paid for at one year
chase of the net profits, but on an average of three y
Working.
In the event of no allotment being made. the deposits will
be returned in fu 1. Should a less number of shares be al otted
than is app!ied for, the deposit will be made available towards
the paym nt on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned
to the applicant.
Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Comp ny, 21,
Threadneedle-street, and 80, Lombard-street, and of the
Brokers and Solicitors.
