chasing and carrying on the important and well-known busi-
ness of Engineers, Ironfounders, and Manufacturers of
Agricultural Machinery, and Implements, s hich having been
established nearly half a century, has been conducted for the
last thirty years by Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes.
While these gentlemen will realise by this transaction the
accumulated profits of many years, they will yet remain large
ch .reho der , and continue to give their active co-operation
in conducting the future burin, as of the company.
The demand for machinery at home and abroad being so
ext-naive, capital to an extent can be profitably employed
in its production, snd the recent transfer of so many of the
first-class engineering firms in the country to companies
formed under the Act of 1862, among whom may be named
Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., and Slessrs. Sharp, Stewart,and Co.,
of Manchester, Messrs. John Brown and Co., and Messrs. Cam-
mell and Co., of Sheffield, Messrs. Slaughter, Gruning, and
Co., of Bristol, &c., is at once proof of the advantageous cha-
racter et the princip,e of association.
A pr 'visional Agreement, equitable and satisfactory, has
been entered into with the Vendors, which secures to the
Company, at a valuation, the freehold known as " The
Katesgrove Iron Works, Reading," together saith other
valuable freeholds and leaseholds, the goodwill, stock in
