ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The object of this enterp ise is to take advantage of the
impulse given to the Manufacture of Paper by the repeal of
the Excise Duties, under circumstances peculiarly favourable,
the materials being obtained by a patent process in full ope.
ratiun, at prices very h ghly remunerative, as compared with
the cos r of similar products in the omen market.

It is well known that very large fortunes have been
realised in this trade, and the removal of a Tax which
amounted to £2O to £'s per cent. upon the value of first-class
News and Printing Papers, at a time when there is a con-
stantly lucre ,ing demand for the supply of IlJoks, Periodi-
cals, Newspapers, and Writing Papers, ensures a large and
very remunerative business to a manutactory situated close
to the metropolis, erected on the most scientific plans,with
the greatest regard to economy of production by theairing
of labour and the introdue ion of machinery of the most per-
fect description.
Under the powers of the Limited Liability Act of 11162,
it. is proposed to purchase at their actnA cost, the under'
takiogs of the Ettrick Forest Paper Mitt Company and the
Ulmate of Ammonia Company, and to carry them on under
the title of the Dartford Creek Paper Mill Company.
To carry out the intended purchase, to double the scale
of the I'aper Mill, to 'Attlee to the fullest extent the produc-
tive power of the works at Grays, and to provide the necessary
working funds, it is proposed to raise a capital of £150,000, in
shares of £lO each, of which £15,000 will remain uncalled as
a fund of credit, deemed highly desirable for the safe and
profitable working of a Limited Company.
After providing for every contingency, the net profits
calculated upon the present working and receipts, as applied
to the enlarged production, viz., 32 to 36 tons of paper,z)
25 to 30 tone of manure powder, perweek, will be from 00
to X 25,000 per dividend, to the condition of the mar-
kets,
giving a of from 15 to 20 per cent., with pros-
pects of considerable increase upon favourable developments
of general trade, which it is well known is depressed by the
state of affairs in America, and other diiturbing causes.
scri
A Very large share of the capital has already been sub-
pbred by the present owners of the properties.
