ment and Lime Company is a pro-
posed corporation incorporated under
the laws of the Territory of Hawaii for
the purpose of manufacturing and deal
ing in Portland Cement, Lime, Hydrat-
ed Lime, Crushed Lime Rock, Crush
ed Lava rock and all products Of whid
they form a part; the owning, holding
and operating of steam schooners ne
cessary primarily for said Companys
operation, and the holding or owning
of any interest in any railroad, steam
schooners or other corporation or joint
stock company permitted by law; the
purchase and holding of real estate for
the laying out of town at or near the
works of said company, the erection OF
building thereon, and the sale of any
of said land or building.
The object Of this prospectus is to
bring the Hawaiian Islands Portland
Cement and Lime Company before the
people and to interest them in this en-
terprise. 1t will not treat of the ma
ture OF Portland Cement, the modern
process of manufacture, and the va
ried and constantly increasing uses to
which the material is being adapted,
for the reason, 1t is believed, the aver
age investor has means to gain this in
formation, but will take up the uses Of
Lime, Hydrated Lime, for the purpose
of building, manufacture of sand lime
bricks, fertilizer, etc., illustrating de-
velopment and suggesting the future
possibilities of Cement and Lime bust
ness on the Hawaiian Islands and local
market. 1t will also present brief
account of the property proposed for
the company; it's natural advantages
in the way of raw material, fuel, To-
cation, transportation, ETC., the nature
of the factory proposed to be built and
the ability of the men upon whom the
success of putting the plant into sue
cessful operation depends.
A careful study of the facts here
presented will, it is believed, lead to
favorable deductions, and conclusion
that this enterprise offers returns sell
dom equaled in conservative and safe
investment.
1t is a notable fact that the consump-
ton of Portland cement and lime in
the Territory of Hawaii is constantly
increasing even at the present high
prices paid for imported cement and
lime from the United States, Germany,
England and China. Notwithstanding
heavy importations, cement and lime
famine prevails on the islands, and
many of the large United States gov
eminent, Territorial government, and
private enterprises suffer from the lack
of supply caused by congestion of
| transportation and other delays.
In view of the great extent of the
United States government improve
ments going on in the Territory OF
Hawaii, Territorial government i'm
provements, private enterprises to be
developed. rccoGstruction of sugar
mills, water bitches, development OF
water supplies, public words, use OF
| fertilizers for the cane, etc, and the
general progress and development sure
| to come, it is absolutely certain that
the consumption of Portland cement
and lime on the islands will continue
to grow from year to year, as expert
ence proves the reliability regular
supply and reduction of cost of Port

| by having these materials produced
which will equal any and be inferior
to none. 1t therefore seems certain
that no State or Territory presents q
better field or more promising mar
ket for high grade Portland cement anC
lime than does the Territory of Ha'
wall.
The natural advantages determining
the value of a Portland cement and
lime manufacturing proposition are Of
a complex nature, depending upon &
number of distinct factors, Ignorance
of the respective Importance of which
frequently leads to disaster.
The most important of these are:
The amount of raw material avail
able.
Physical character of the materials.
Chemical composition of the mate
rials.
Location with respect to water.
Location with respect to labor.
Location with respect 10 market.
Location with respect to transporta
ton.
Fuel supply.
Choice of mechanical appliances.
Respect as to experienced superVi
sion.
All of these the Hawaiian Islands
Portland Cement and Lime Compan!
possesses to an extent unequaled ant
unknown to any other producer. To
gether with these natural advantages
it is especially fortunate in having it
own individual market protected b,
, the ocean freight rates, thus Away
