COLUMBIA. RIVER FUR COMPANY.

EUROPEAN BRANCH, 72, BOLD-STREET.

DEPOT, PORT VANCOUVER, OREGON OR COLUMBIA
RIVER, NORTH AMERICA.
TE Managers of this Company beg most respectfully
J. to tender to the Public their grateful thanks for the
unqualified patronage they have received since opening
this Establishment, and, in calling attention to their
PRESENT IMMENSE STOCK OF FURS,
which comprises every variety for which this River, one
of the greatest in America, is so justly celebrated, trust
that their future exertions may meet the same liberal
reward past energies have secured.
The mere title, of the " Columbia Fur Company"
carries with it no more weight than that of any other
company; but the immense resources of this gigantic
stream, the length of which is 1560 miles, connecting by
its own waters, or immediate branches, the vast districts
of Austria, Colo, Canoe Camp, the Rocky Monntains,
Flat Brow, Chippeway, Pembunco, and the principle Fur
climates, as well as the Lakes, and the ready transit for
skins procured by the inhabitants, who, as well as the
native India tribes, principally gain their subsistence by
capturing fur•producing animals, enables this Company
to offer

FURS
AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE EQUALLED,
(When Quality is consulted,)
BY ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE KINGDOM.
The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other in America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict—" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
__

As this House has only been recently opened, it must
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all
OF THE LATEST STYLES OF FASHION.
Obieitve•the number.

THE object of this Company is to afford increased faci-
lities for the Draining of Land, by executing the
necessary operations with the most suitable materials,
in such manner as shall be deemed the most scientific,
economical, and effectual, the cost incurred thereby to be
adequately secured on the properly drained, or otherwise,
and to be repaid with interest, by instalments.
The profits resulting from scientific Draining are ad-
mitted by every agriculturist.
Tiles (the material for Draining most frequently used)
can be made by machines at less than one-half the cost
for which they are now selling within the probable sphere
of the Company's operations; from this source it is esti-
mated that a large profit will result to the shareholders
combined with equivalent advantages to the agricultural
interest.
Deposit of £1 per share, and the Calls not to exceed
£2 10s. per share, nor be made until after two months'
notice.

**Above 200 letters have been received from Land-
owners, many of them holding large properties in the dis-
trict, approving the objects of the company, and contain-
ing ample assurances that it will be fully employed as soon
as it is prepared to commence operations.
