THE CHINA MAIL.

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 has been passed..

to increase the Capital of the Company to $1,000,000 by the issue of new shares, 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 legal concerns.

The Capital of the Company is now 81,000,000 of which only $78,080 has been paid up and, on this the Company last year made a net prost of $13,817 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 purposes by all Railway contractors, Engineering and Deck Companies, everywhere in China, and by many small manufacturers. At present a large portion of the Steel products which this Company is able to manufacture is obtained from abroad at probably great expense in consequence of the vary limited capacity of this Company to cany cut orders received. With un'increased Capital, enabling more furnaces to be erected, and more lalour employed, this Company would then be in a praition to apply nest of, if not all, he needs for steel castings in this part of the world; for with the experience now acquired by the General Managery, and by beir present head workmen, there should be no difficulty whatso- ever in meat-eatisfactorily fulfilling such requirements.

It is much desired that sufficient additional capital be subscribed, beyond that which is required for the further development of the Steel Casting departmest, in order to enable a plant to be obtained, and set, up, for the purpose of rolling Steel lugots 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 Colony will be found ready to subscribe towards the increased capital desired, toth for their own benefit, and for that of the community generally,

The General Managers are ready and willing to enter into any reasobable agreement desired by the Company to continue their services for's lengthy pericu. Also, if deart by the Company, they are fully prepared to transler: the contuli-Bonil of Directore. comprised of sack persons who are in a position to introduce business, as the Company thinks advisable.

The minimum wibscription for the new shares now offered to the public, upon which the General Managers may proceed to allotment, is $200,000.
