PROSPECTUS.

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 ants, does not chip owing to danp, and in practically fireproot, remaining unbroken and unaffected by heat unless of a temparature of 250 to 300 degrees centigrada.

The Contract for the acquisition of this business is dated the 4th day of January, 1924, and is made between The China American Industrial Developing Company, Limited, of the one part and Decis Henry Binke as Trustee for the Company of the other part.
