PROSPECTUS.
(a) The recent remarkable developments in building in this Colony have resulted in a demand for labour and building materials that has been unprecedented.

"Simplex Plaster." which the Company pro poses 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 it is impervious to white anta, does not chip owing to damp, and is praz tically reproot, remaining unbroken and unaffected by hest unless of a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees centigrade.
