Temporary Offices-31, Threadneedle-street.
This Company has been constituted for the purpose of
undertaking the execution and construction of railway and
other works both at home and abroad, a class of business-
hitherto exclusively conducted by private co 'tractors.
The large fortunes wh'n have been realised by them. not.
withstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
soundness and value of this enters rise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
'which nlone contra Aors, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their
ePerations into effect are so onerous that it is only by profits
of extraordinary magnitude that such charlies can be met ;
and it follows that a Company having a large wit-4 sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
'would enjoy great advantages and, at the same time, fre-
quently afford imoortant aid to the individual contractor.
The sub-lettings of contracts are known to bean important
source of profit. In addition to this the Company will nos-
aess the advantage of raising funds upon debentures secured
11Phn its unpaid capital at rates which would be small as corn-
Naed with those charged to snb-contractors. It is not con-
a, iplated, therefore, to call up any considerable portion of
I,n! pital. unless the operations of the Company may show
re be des mole. 'rhe security of a large subs ribed capital
Will necessarily inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
ments loinancoil Compsnies, and others with whom the
C'ea,„
~--psny may have to deal.
"h the event ot no allotment being made the deposits will
ye returned in full. Should a less number,of shares be al-
tiThed than are applied ior the deposit will be made available
°wards the tJaymeat on allotment, and the balance, it any,
returned to the applicant.
Pros
ro
oft, pectuses r. d forms of application for shares may be
iled at the offices of the Company, of the Brokers, and
the bond ors.
