PROSPECTUS.
(a) The recent remarkable developments in building in this Colony have resulted in a demand for labour and building aaterials that has been unprecedented. Increased costs, consequent upon such Jeund, necessitate the adoption, where possible, of means whereby not only may labour be saved but materials produced both quickly and economically. This Company is formed mainly for the purpose of providing plaster and gypsum products which are required in the construction of every building from the small house to the largest block of modern offices. Simplex Plaster," which the Company proposes to manufacture in this Colony, is manufactured by a special process, and is at present only obtainable from abroad, and the Promoters are confident that it can be manufactured here and sold for a price considerably below that which the commodity commands in Hongkong at the present time. This plaster is now extensively used in building in this Colony, and is in fact, as experience has shown, extremely beneficial in the Far East and particularly in Hongkong, for is is impervious to white ants, does not chip owing to damp, and is practically fireproof, remaining unbroken and unaffected by heat unless of a tenperature of 250 to 300 degrees centigrade.
(b) The Company has acquired as a going concern that branch of the business of The Chine American Industrial Developing Com- pany, Limited, which has been engaged in the manufacture of 'Simplex Pluster." The purchase includes a piece of land of an approximate area of 11,000 square feet situate at Tenn Was, together with the buildings, plant, machinery and equipment thereon, the machinery being already assembled for the commencement of manu- facture. The purchase price will be paid and satisfied by the allot- ment to The Chino American Industrial Developing Company. Timited, of 15,000 shares of the Company credited as fully paid up. Furthermore the agreement with the Vendors provides that the Vendors will place with the Company all further orders for the supply of plaster required by the Vendors.

A copy of the Contract can be inspected at the Registered Office of the Com- pany or at the office of the Company's Solicitors.

(d) No commission or promotion money is being paid by the Company.

(g) The Directors are interested in the promotion of the Com. pany to the extent only that they or some of them ara Directore of other companies with whom the Company may do business.
