ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.
The primary object of this Company is to provide a pure
and wholesome bread by bringing into general use Stevens'
valuable machinery for making bread. This machinery is of
a most simple and effective character, and is protected by her
Majesty's Royal Letters Patent, dated 1858 and 186!. The
Patents are also taken out in France and Belgium. Reeent
as the inventions are, they have already been most success-
fully adopted by her Majesty's Government, by very many
of the principal public establishments, and by numerous
London and provincial master bakers. References are kindly
permitted in every case. (See the prospectus of the Com-
pany).
The following are the chief advantages of the machine :
First, CLEANLINESS.—It is thoroughly cleanly in its opera-
tion, superseding tho highly objectionable hand-and-arm
process of kneading.
Second, lIEALTIIINESS.—It entirely relieves the journey-
men from the most severe and injurious portion of their
labour.
Third, ECONOMY or TIME. The kneading occupies less
than half the time required under the old system.
Fourth, ECONOMY OF MATERIALS.—There is an increased
yield of Bread amounting to at least three quartern loaves
per sack. This important result is effected by the perfect
mixing of the dough, and there being no waste of flour. The
Bread made by this machine is the ordinary Household,
Home-made, and Fancy Bread of everyday use, only free
frem the impurities and imperfections necessarily attending
the hand-kneading system.
In confirmation of the above statements as to the great
public utility of the invention, attention is specially directed
to the very numerous testimonials and official reports ad-
dressed to the patentee, and which may be had on application
at the offices of the Company.
The first source of revenue to the Company will be the sale
of the machines. This branch will be very lucrative, as they
yield a profit of upwards of 30 per cent. The demand is
rapidly increasing, and the field for their use both at home
and abroad is almost boundless.
A trade machine, capable of mixing two sacks of flour at
one time, may be had as low as £3O, and those for family use
from 355. to £5 each.
A second source of income will be the establishment of a
Central Baaery or Bakeries, constructed on improved prin-
ciples, ter the supply of Machine-made Bread, the absolute
Pity of which will be guaranteed.
A third source of profit will be the supply of genuine flour.
It is important to notice that the Company will at once
take possession of large businesses (both machinery and
baking) already established. Machines in various sizes may
be seen at the office, and orders received for the same.
Taking the outlay at the maximum and the returns at the
minimum, and allowing for every contingency, the Directors
believe the Company will be able to pay a dividend of from
20 to 30 per cent. on its capital.
It may be stated that the £1 shares of the New Union Mills
Flour and Bread Company, at Birmingham, are now selling
at £2105., while in the case of the Old Union Mills Flour and
Bread Company, many years established in the same town,
the £1 shares are worth £lO.
* * All applications for shares must be made according to
the form attached to the Prospectus, and may be addressed to
the Brokers of the Company, or to the Secretary. Prospec-
tuses may be had on app:ication at 10, Old Jewry Cham-
