Financial
Company is formed as an auxiliary to the Great
•Financial Associations recently established.
It is not the province of these Institutions to carry
out
the public works contemplated in the concessions they ob-
tain. They are therefore compelled to seek the co-opera-
tion of contractors whose capital and position offer an un-
deniable guarantee for the completion of the works,
thus
relieving the financial associations of that responsibility.
of
The constantly increasing scale on which public works
all kinds are carried out, and the immense capital involved,
flue them beyond the reach of individual contractors un-
cgs supported by joint-stock enterprise.
This :Company has, therefore, been formed far
lic the pur-
Pose of undertaking the execution of great pubworks,
and arrangements have been entered into with well known
contractors, by which contracts to the amount of £11,000,000
sterling will be turned over to the Company.
Among other contracts handed over to R a the Company is
that for the construction of the European Cenilway,
'which has been secured on favourable terms,
and will be
commenced forthwith.
The active services o wall eminent Contractor, whose busi-
ness has been secured, ibe retained to execute the work
011 terms highly advantageous to the Company, he retaining
7; large interest in the Company by receiving payment
!Ct a transfer of his contracts in Shares with £5 only credited
ereon.
.._ It is well known that many undertakings of great corn-
at_ ercial value have hitherto remained in abeyance for want
of Contractors who can command the necessary resources to
ttisure their completion. This Company, combining the in-
nuence of a large subscribed capital, extensive financial co-
operations at home and abroad, with administrative experi-
ence and ability, will secure such an amount of confidence
T 1 the part of governments, public bodies, and the
financial institutions, as will enable it to command an ex-
tensive business on favourable terms.
Prospeetuses, with forms of application, may
be obtained
at the Offices of the Company, also from the Brokers, Soli-
