PROSPECTUS.

(a.) The recent remarkable developments in building in this Colony bare resulted in a demiad for labour and building materials that has been unprecedental.

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 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 manafactured hero 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 ants, does not cirip owing to damp, ani ir prac tically fireproof. remaining unbroken and unaffected by heat unless of a temperature of 250 to 300 degrees centigrade..

Further- more the agreement with the Vendors provides that the Vendors will place with the Company all further orders for the supply of plaster by the Vendors.

The Contract for the acquisition of this business is dated the 4th day of Jaudary, 1924, and is made between THE CHINO AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL DEVE LOPING COMPANY, LIMITED, of the one part and Decis Henry Blake of Trustee for the Company of the other part.
