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 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
'which alone contractors, even of known position and wealth,
are enabled to raise the necessary funds for carrying their
operations into effect are 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 capit,l sub-
scribed by a wealthy proprietary, and with an able executive,
would enjoy great advantages and, at tie lime time, fre-
quently 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 advantag, of raising funds upon debentures secured
upon its unpaid capital at rates which would be small as com-
Pared 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 of the Company may show
it to be des rable. The security of a large subs:Tibed capital
will necessarily inspire confidence on the part of Govern-
ments, Financial Companies, and others with whom the
Company Com-P may have to deal.
In the event of no allotment being made the deposits will
be returned in lull. Should a less number of shares be al-
lott ed than are applied f or 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
obtained at the offices of the Company, of the Brokers, and
of the t.lolici;ors.
