J. C. Handfield, Esq.
Temporary Offices-31, Threadneedle-street.
This Company has been constituted for the purpose of
Undertaking the execution and construction of railways and
littler works both at home and abroad, a class of business
hitherto exclusively conducted by private Co Aractors.
The large fortunes which have been realised by them, not-
'withstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
Soundness and value of this enter; rise.
It is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
Nvhich alone contractors, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their
vherations into effect arc so onerous that it is Only by profits
of extraordinary magnitude that such charges can be met ;
and it follows that a Company having a large capital sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
would enjoy great advantages and, at the same time, fre-
queatly afford im,,ortant 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 pos-
sess the advantage of raising' funds upon debentures secured
upon its unpaid capital at rates which would be small as com-
Dared with those charged to snb-Contractors. It is not con-
templated. therefore, to call up any considerable portion of
the c pital, unless the operations nt the Company may show
it to be des ranle. The security of a large subscribed capital
Will necessarily inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
ments, Financial Companies, and others with whom the
Company may have to deal.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
o,e returned in full. Should a less number of shares be al-
riled than are applied for the deposit will be made available
towards the payment on allotment, and the balance, it any,
returned to the applicant.
Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be
ebtaini.d at the offices of the Company, of the Brokers, and
of the Solicitors.
