v-ffiWn'T last quarter of a century, as successful builders.
Pr '8 Probably no branch ot industry which has been more
thi).-Ltable in Scotland during the last few years than iron

htitle Clyde possesses great advantages, compared with the
the

in te lesser cost of coals, iartisansron, and wages ; while
Ski 11 and industry of the scotch are universal y

u rcji
lhe Directors have made a provisional Contract, by which
ey have secured, under a very favourable arrangement,
business of Messrs. Smh and Rodger, including the
hole of their building yardtensneering premises, plant,
Fe.. Is, goodwill, and , aiwelt as the benefits arising
:ern valuable existingeontracts, to be paid for partlyin cash
`ll,d. partly in shares of the Company.
).,:the partners of the firm have agreed to join the Board of
v".',rection, thus giving the Company the advantage of their
11-'"uable influence and experience, and as the entire staff of
heessirs. Smith and dodger will also be tranferred under
arrangement referred to, the Company will be -enabled
07 enter immediately up Dn a business in full and profitable

ef t•lthough several Shi Comanies have been
O ablished in the vicinity ofbuilding London and Liverpool, whose
