This Company has been formed with the view of nssisting
the development of those constantly-extending operations in
ad departments of trade and commerce, which presents so
extraordinary a feature in the industrial statistics of this
country.
The marked success which has attended the establishment
of other Associations of a similar character proves beyond all
question that a wide field exists for business of this descrip-
tion.
hile this Association will assimilate in its principles with
the institutions alluded to, it differs from them in several ma-
terial features. Without excluding Foreign Investments, it
will in preference use its resources in affording increased faci-
lities nr the development of all legitimate descriptions of
commercial enterprise especially in the leading Provincial
Towns of the United Kingdom.
In Livei pool arrangements are pending for the formation
of a very influential connexion.
It is not its purpose to assume the functions which belong
to ordinary banking, but it will make cash advances upon the
deposit of all sound and bona fide securities, such as Deben-
tures and Dock Warrants, including approved Bills of Ex-
change.
It will extend the benefits of its experience and influence
in forwarding the successful completion of all public and
private undertakings, the uti,ity and lucrative character of
Which is satisfactorily assured ; and with the view that the
sphere of its operations may be as enlarged as possible, it is
intended that the Association shall be represented at all the
more important towns by some of the most influential persons
at those places, to be appointed from time to time.
No promotion money has been or will be paid.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
Obtained at the offices of the Company, and of the brokers,
and the solicitors in London, and at the several offices of the
brokers and solicitors in the country. In the event of no
allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in full.
Shoal a less number of shares be allotted than are applied
for, the deposit will be made available towards the payment
on allotment, and the balance, if any, returned to the ap-
plicant..
