PROSPECTUS.

The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone-
tary arrangements of the increasing commercial interests of
Great Britain and its dependencies.
In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured
the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount
Firm in London, with whom arrangements have been made
for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation,
and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus
be manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a
large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience
of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to
command the confidence of the public.
The material basis of the Corporation will be a large sub-
scribed Capital, judicially distributed.
The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial
banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and
continental trades of the country, and the greatly extending
commercial transactionawith India and the- Colonies, lead to
the conviction that greater discounting facilities than at pre-
sent exist are required
An establishment, which from its ample means will be able
to supply such requirements, will no doubt be favourably re-
ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time
afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek
the permanent investment of their money, and to those who
merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus
fends.
The known profitable operations of the old private Dis-
count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as-
surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed,
will prove a complete success.
The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London.
No promotion-money will be given for originating the
undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly
confined to such as are indispensable.
Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed
form to the Directors, and copies of the prospectus may be
obtained at the Temporary Offices of the Corporation, or at
the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application
will be considered unless a deposit of .£1 per share on the
number of shares applied for has been paid.
