PROS VECTITS.

This Company has been formed for the purposs of pur-
elietaing and extending the valuab e and old -established
Ship-building and it Business of Messrs smith
and Rodger, Glasgow, a firm well known on the Cly,e, dur-
ing the 1 st quarter of a century, as successful build rs.
There is probably no b-anch of induatry which has been more
Profitable in Scotland during the last few .ears than it n
ship-building, and wh n the great advantages possessed by
Glasgow and its vicinity are considered, the rapid and in-
eteasin expansion of the trade in that neighbourhood is not
surprising.
The Clyde possessea great advantages, compared with the
Thai• es, in the lesser cost of coals, iron, and wages ; while
the skill and industry of the scotch artisans are universal
acknowledged
The Directors have made a provisional Contract, by which
they have secured, under a very fa •oarable arrangement,
the business of Messrs. Smith and Rodger, including the
'whole of their building yard, engineering premises, plant,
tools, goodwill, and connexion, as awl_ .s the benefits arising
from valuable existing contracts, lobe paid for partly in cash
and partly in shares of the Company.
'rhe partners of the firm have agreed to join the Board of
et•on, t' ins giving the Company the advantage of their
valuable influe. ce and experience, and as the entire staff of
Messrs. Smith and dodger will also be tran•ferred, under
the arrangement referred to, the Company will be enable i
to enter immediately up n a business in full and profitable
oper tion.
Although several Shipbuildin?: Companies have been
established in the vicinity of London and Liverpool, whose
operations h +ve b en att-nd d w,th great success, the bast-
hese on the banks of the Clyde has hitherto been exolusively
tarried on by private enterprise, and the :arF.,,e fortunes
accumulated by Scotch shipbuilders are a guarantee of
What might be expec ed from the work ng of a Com-
pany nossessing ample means and influential body of Di-
rectol
The immense impetus given to iron shipbuild ng by the
nmerous steamship t ompanies recently establ-heri under
the Limited Liability Act, which will require vessels of ,treat
alze and pow •r for trading to all parts of the world, will un-
doubtedly prove a constant source of fiLhly remunerative
rll,l loyment to th+s Company ; and it is evident that the day
.8
last approaching when iron steamships will be used ex-
elusivel , not only for th conveyance of emigrants and pas-
sengers, but also of teas, silks, and other dcscr ptions of the
finest and most costly articles of comtnerX to and from every
port on o the globe.
"wing' to the re, lution which iron-plated ships have
atiaected in naval warfa,-e, it has be.some nece.:sary to rec„frn-
struct the entire navies of Europe. and from the admirable
Manner in which the iron-plat,,d vessels of war recently
added to the Briiish navy have been constru ted by private
ahipbuilde and by th Thames bon Ship-building Corn-
13Et'oes there is not the sliuhtest doubt that the building of
Illy fleets of Great Britain end the other naval Powers will
fut re be large entrusted to such companies.
A great element in the success of this Company is the f et
that there will be a London Board, ready t icontrac tor the
Parlous
and impor ant contracts of the and Foreign
overnments, an . the large Shipping Companies, who
orders are naturally first placed in hand in Lo, don, and
Which are much more likely to be secured by the inflnence of
metropolitan directory th nby the application o a provin-
ne Articles and 3remorandtim of Association may be in-
spected at the S,olieltors of the Company, Messrs. Dawes
and Son, Lond n, and Messrs. Lamond and Macluckle, Glas-
gow.
