THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER SPERM OIL
REFINING COMPANY.
CAPITAL, £150,000, IN 15,000 SHARES OF £lO EACH
THE necessity of an Establishment for the REFINING of
SPERM OIL has long been experienced by the Merchants,
Shipowners, and Consumers of Liverpool, nchester, and the
Neighbouring Districts, the want of such ving almost entirely
prevented the Importation of this articl s a return for Ship-,
ments made from this Port to New o h Wales.
Hitherto, consequently, such car sas have been imported
were of necessity reshipped to Lon ,to be there Refined, and
afterwards returned to this county to be consumed, burthened
with those almost incalculable additional expenses which it is
the object of the present Establishment tnremove.
The consumption of Sperm Oil may even yet be considered
in its infancy, although it has increased very considerably within
the last seven years, and has been generally adopted as' a substi-
tute for other Oils for the purposes of. Machinery, thus rendering
it a most valuable article of Importation to the Merchant and
Shipowner.
The vicinity of Liverpool to the principal manufacturing
towns, and the great and growing intercourse between this Port
and New South Wales, which, by the establishment of the
Cornpauy, will be materially increased, point out the neccessity
and legitimate right of the town to this very lucrative trade.
To the Merchant and Shipowner this. -Company secures a
ready market for an article they have hitherto been debarred
importing, or, having imported-it, have been compelled to sub-.
mit to a sacrifice by sending it to London to a few, merchants
there who have enjoyed the monopoly.
To the .consumer and dealer the advantages will at once pre-
sent theinselves, the saving of Freight, the locality of the Manu-
facture, the purity of the Oil, and the redueed price at which it
can be afforded.

It is intended, at.the same time, to' add the BLEACHING of
WAX, and the manufacture of WAX, SPERMACETI, and Cost-
POSITION CANDLES, as a necessaly Branch of the Refining
of SPERM OIL with the Bleaching of the SPERMACETI, thus
securing a considerable additional profit, and making the Esta-
blishment complete in all its branches.
It is proposed that the capital of this company shall be
£150,000, in 15,000 Shares. of £lO each ; no Shareholder to
hold less than ten Shares.

That the affairs of this Company shall be managed by a
Board of Directors, who shall beholders of at least fifty Shares
each.

The sum of one shilling per share shall be paid on an allot-
ment to defray the expenses incidental to the formation of the
Company, and a further sum of £1 per share within 14 days
after the appointment of Directors, and all further calls will be
made as the Directors may deem requisite.
A number of Shares will be reserved for Alancbester and the
adjoining Manufacturing Towns.
Application for Shares (if by letter post-paid) to be made at
the Offices of Mr. JOHN PRATCHETT, Accountant, or Messrs.
WILKINSON and CHRISTIAN, Solicitors, 14, Blundell-court,
