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.

Ti dosired and a resolution for that purpose has been passed;

to increase the Capital of the Company to $1,000,000 by the ime of new shares, for the purpose of extending the business which is firmly believed will, if an extended, not only prove execedingly profitable to all interested in the Company, bet will also supply a want to Ipent concert.

The Capital of the Company is now $1,000,000 of which only $78.080 has been paid up und. on this the Company last year made a net profit of $19.817 and paid a dividend of 10 per cent at the end of the resent 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 por cont."

Steel Castings are Leeded for numerous purposes by'all Railway Contractors, Engineering and Dock 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 a great expense in consequence of the very limited capacity of this Company to carry out orders received. With an increased Capital, enabling more furnuces to be erected, and mare labour employed, this Company would then be in a position to supply most of, if not all, the needs for stoel coatings in this part of the world; for, with the experience now acquired by the General Managers, and by their present head workmen, there should be no dificulty whatsoever in most satisfactorily fulfiling such requirements.

It is much desired thatsufficient additional capital be subscribed, beyond that which is required for the further development of the Steel Casting department, in order to enable a plant to be obtained, 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 Colony will be found ready to subscribe towards the increased capital desired, both for their own benefit, and for that of the community generally.

The General Managers are ready and willing to enter into any reasonable agreement desired by the Company to continue their services for a lengthy period. Also, if desired by the Company, they are fully prepared to transfer the control to a Board of Director, comprised of such persons who are in a position to introduce business,

the Company thinks advisable,

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

MR. C. BERNARD BROWN of the firms of Messrs. LINSTEAD & DAVIS, Hongkong, is the Auditor of the Company...

A copy of this prospectux has been duly fled for registration

with the Begistrar of the Companies.

Application for Shares should be made to the Company's Bankers, or the office of the General Managers, where forms will be supplied.
