This Company has been formed under the Limited Liability
Act for the purpose of the purchase and enlargement of the
Queen's Hotel at Upper Norwood.
The celebrated and well-earned reputation of the manage-
ment of this Hotel, for many years, together with its admir-
able situation—remarkable alike for the beauty of the scenery
and the purity of the air—have rendered it the favourite
resort of numerous and distinguished visitors.
The immediate vicinity of the Crystal Palace has added to
its attractions as.a residence, while, at the same time, the
bracing character of the Surrey hills, amongst which it is
placed, strongly recommends it to those seeking it for the
purposes of health ; indeed, the character of the Hotel is so
widely known that it is not necessary to enlarge further on
its advantages as a profitable investment.
The Hotel was orignally projected, and has since been con-
ducted by the present proprietor ; but that gentleman's other
avocations, together with the increasing business of the Hotel,
and the necessity for its enlargement, have now induced him
to relinquish the sole management of the undertaking ; he
stilt retains, however, a large pecuniary interest as a share-
holder, and the board will have the advantage of his experi-
ence and assistance as a director.

The property, comprising the hotel, which at present con-
tains 140 rooms, with extensive stables (sufficient for 80 horses),
ample carriage room, and pleasure and kitchen gardens, and
every necessary accommodation, has been carefully surveyed,
and its ♦alue ascertained by an experienced valuer ; and it
has been secured to the Company on what the directors be-
lieve to be advantageous terms.
The capital of £50,000, after providing for the payment of
the purchase-money, will leave amply sufficient means for
effecting the improvement■ and extensions which are con-
templated (estimated at least at 50 additional rooms), and the
directors are confident that these extensions will very mate-
rially increase the profits—at present considerable.
In conclusion, the directors draw attention to the important
fact that the undertaking possesses this great advantage, that
the shareholders will at once enter into possession of an esta-
blished business, yielding already a handsome return.
. Two auditors will be appointed to audit the accounts, which
will be accessible for the examination of the shareholders.
