PROSPECTUS.
The objects of the Company are the erection of shippers'
offices and warerooms of superior character, fitted with all
recent improvements; and the laying down of an extensive
plant of first-class modern machinery, to meet the great and
increasing demand that now exists for the rapid and prompt
dispatch of goods to foreign markets.
A most; eligible site for the purpose has been secured, con-
taining upwards of 2,200 square yards Of land, within 500
yards of the Royal Exchange and General Post Office, and
two-thirds of a mile of the Goods Stations of the London
and North-Western and Lancashire and Yorkshire Rafts'
Companies.
As will be seen (on reference to the plans, the, site i; at the
south-westerly corner of Albert-square an the centre of
which the Albert Memorial t in you se of erection), and
near the proposed site off the, intended New ToWft
having' frontages to Lloyd-street, South-street, and Jack-
son's-row—all extelllett streets, and COthmanding superior
ll',•lits on thTee SRO.
The gradient of the land towards Deansgate is such that,
whilst the entrance to Albett-square wi:l be level with the
aground, the windows of the basement story will be above the
level of the two side streets, and bales can be delivered at
7.nrclal
the westerly end without the use of cranes or hoist
From the rapid development of the locality tor co,
purposes, the improvements made anti in COnterhPlation, with
a frontage to what will be the finest ttquare in the city, and
the extraordinary increase 111 the value of ',roperty in the
neighbourhood during the last few year ..4 it is highly pro-
bable that this investectelit will accordingly be most mate-
rially
increased in value,

Provisional arrangements have been made with Mr. J. Y.
Wilkinson, maker-up and packer, of 10), 102, and lot, Cross-
street, 111ancheater, for the purchase of his extensive business,
strAk-in-trade,Ate. ; and also for his services as managing
director Avon advantageous terms, by which the Company
will enabled to commence business forthwith.
A Mr. Wilkinson will tike seven-tenths of the purchase
money' in shares, and thereby retain a large inicrest in the
concern, there is no doubt, ,rorn his extensive and varied ex-
rcrience in the trade, that the results from this department
of the Company's business will be most successful.
From carefully trepared estimates, it is certain that, as
soon Ili the new Premises are in operation, the dividend will
exceed 15 per cent. The basis of the dividend be ng derived
from the rental of freehold Property in the centre of the
largest commercial and manuf cturing city in the world, and
augmented by the profits of the packing department, stamps
the Company at once as one of the most secure and eligible
investments ever brought before
