This Company is formed for the purpose of supplying, a
source whence the occupiers of land can at all times obtain a
supply of those articles perfectly pure and unadulterated, of
which the retjuirements of modern improvement are con-
stantly increasing the demand ; and also for the purpose of
establishing a commodious depot, where agricultural imple-
ments of every description, by all the best millers, can at all
times be inspected and purchased.
The Company will import and supply at fair and reasonable
prices genuine manures of all kinds, seeds, oilcake, and all
other articles used in the feeding of live stock, and for agri-
cultural purposes generally.
The Directors have been appointed sole consignees for the
sale of the Javel guano, both in the United Kingdom a,.(1 the
Colonies. This right has been secured by contract, for a
term of 2lyears, with the Javel Manure Company in France.
The qualities of this manure are such as to have raised the de-
mand in France to so great a magnitude as to afford reason-
able expectation of its general adoption in this country,
where, in every instance in which it has been tried, it has
given unqualified satisfaction.
This manure, manufactured .by a patent process, from the
contents of the cesspools and blood of he slaughter-houses
(abbatoirs) of Paris, cembines within itself all the good quali-
ties of every description of manure, and will be supplied at
about one half the cost of Peruvian guano (which it fully
equals), with a guarantee that each parcel contains a certain
amount of fertilising ingredients.
There can be no doubt of the remunerative result of the
operations of this Company, every branch thereof affording
sources of large profits. The only establishment of a like
nature in the United Kingdom, the Aberdeen Commercial
Company, conducted on similar principles, bas stood the test
of many years as to its usefulness, and yielded large returns
to its shareholders for their investments, the 201. shares be-
ing now worth 1201.
Applications for Shares may be made at the offices of the
Company, or to the broker or solicitors ; from whom full
prospectuses, testimonials, and any other information can be
obtained.
All applications for Shares must be accompanied by a pay-
ment of ss. per share to the bankers, broker, solicitors, or at
the offices of the Company. In the event of less than the
whole number applied for being allotted, the amount paid
in excess will be appropriated towards the remaining pay-
ment of 15s. per share ; if no allotment be made, the amount
paid will be immediately returned in full.
