r RO SPE CTUS.
This COMpally has been formed, as its name implies, for
the purpo,e of acquiring the business of Cramer, Wood, and
Co., the well-kaown music publishers in Regent-street,
This business has for half a century bee.. in the highest
repute, not only in Engl .nd, but throughout the whole of
Europe. It still maintains its prestige, and is targely in-
creasing each year.
The property e )mprisee the valuable musical copyrights of
the firm, embracing the largest collection of music extant.
The stack Of pianofortes and other musical i: struments for
sale anti hire -one of the most extensive in the metropolis—
is, ~n has for a long time been, highly remunerative,
A. conditional agreem nt has been entered into with Mr.
Wood, the only surviving partner and present proprietor, for
the trap fer to th, Company as from the 3 at of December
last, of the entire blisiness (free from all liabilities), in perfect
working order, including the whole ock-in-trade, aid the
leases of the commanding premises, 199, 201, 207, and 2u9,
Regent-street, 67, Conduit-street, and c 5, King-street, at a
price the Directors believe to be reasonable and advantageous
to the Company. The Directors ..re fortified in this view by
the valuations of competen authorities.
Mr. Wood wil dischtvge all liabilities up to the 3 th June,
1864, and will pay over the profits from the st January, 1864.
He has also aereed to accept a 1 .rge proportion of the pur-
chase money in paid-up shares.
In the, interests of the shareholders it has been thought
desirable to keep the present proprietor identified with the
business, and arrangements have been made with him which
will secure his services in the capacity of General Manager
or a period ,if at leant three years.
During this time, and for the further period of two years,
Mr. Wood undertakes to guarantee—in any manner required
by the Directors to make the shareh,,iders seoure—the pay-
ment of a minimum dividend of £lO per cent. per annum
upon the capital.
Messrs. Broom, Bagshaw, and Westoott, public accoun-
tants, have invest gated the account of the business, and are
-atisti. d of the solidity of the undertaking.
With a business in active operation, and a minimum divi-
deqd of 10 per cent. iLsured for five years, the Company
offers unusual advantage as an inv,stment
It is believed that for a long time it will be unnecessary to
call up more than £4 per share beyond the amounts payable
on deposit and allotment.
The liability of each shareholder will be limited to the
am. unt of his subscription.
No promoters' fees or promotion money in any form will
be allowed.

In the event of no allotment being made the deposit wi 1
b 2 return d in full. •
