A PATRIOTIC CALL.
THE HONGKONG STEEL FOUNDRY COMPANY, LIMITED.
PROSPECTUS
Inviting public subscription for 85,000 shares at par ($10 each), upon an increase of the Capital of the Company.
Tis desired and a resolution for that purpose ban been passed,
to increase the' Capital of the Company to $1,000,000 by sim issue of new sharen for the purpose of extending the business which is firmly believed will, if so extended, not only prove exceedingly profitable to all interested in the Company, but will also supply a want to local concerns."
The Capital of the Company is now $1,000,000 of which only $78,080 has been paid up and, on this the Company last your made a net profit of $19.817 and paid a dividend of 10 per cent at the end of the present financial year. It is anticipated that doubling the Capital will at least treble the profit; and, should this anticipation be realized. the Company could pay at least a steady Twenty per cent
Steel Castings are needed for numerous purpours by all Railway contractors, Engineering and Dock Companies, everywhere in China, and by many small manufacturera. At present a large portion of the Steel produela which this Company is able to manufacture is obtained from abroad-at probably a great expense-in consequence of the very limited capacity of this Company to carry out orders received. With ap increased Capital, enabling more furnacen zu le vreeted, and maro labour employed, this Company would then be in a position to supply most of, if not all the needs for steel castings in this part of Le world; for, with the experience now dequiredby the General Manager, and by their present head workmin. there should be no difficulty whatsoever in most satisfactorily fulfilling such requirements.
Timuch desired that setligent additional capitai be subscribed; beyond that which is required for the farther development of the Steel Casting department in order to enable a plant to be obtamurd, and set - up, for the purpose of rolling Steel ingots into material for Engineer- ing, Dock, and Building requirements, for which material there is now a great demand.
It is therefore trusted that many persons in the Culong will be found ready to subscribe towards the merased capital desired, both for their own benefit, and for that of the community generally,
The General Managers are ready and willingto enter inte any reasonable, agreement desired by de Company to continue their service for a lengthy period. Also, if desired by the Company, they are fully prepared to tramter the control ta ở Hoard of Director, comprised of such persons who are in a position to introduce business, us the Company thinks advisable, s.
