the

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.

Tas 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 whares, for the purpose of extending the business which is firmly believed will, if so extended, hot 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 year 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 leset 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 alt Railway contractors, Engineering and Dock Companies, everywhere in China, and by many small manufacturom. At present a large portion of the Steel products which this Company is able to manufacture is obtained from abroad-nt 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 furnaces to be erected, and more labour employed, this Company would then be in a position to supply most of, if not all, the weeds for stoel castings in this part of the world; for, with the experience now acquired by the General Managers, and by their present bead workmen, there should be no difficulty whatsoever in most satisfactorily fulfilling such requireinents.

It is much desired that sufficient Additional capital be subscribed, beyond that which is required for the further development of the Steel Custing department, in order to enable a plant to be obtained, and net up, for the purpose of rolling Steel Ingots into material for Engineer. ́ing, Dock, and Building requirements; for which material thero is Dow

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 tieneral 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 a fully prepared to transfer the control to a Board of Directors, comprised of such; person'who are in a position to introduce business, as the Company thinks advisable,

The minimum subscription for the new shares now offered to die public, upon which the General Managers may proceed to allotment, ju $200,000, /

MR. C. BERNARD Brows of the tira of Messrs. LINSTEAD & DAVIS, Hongkong, ju the Auditor of the Company.

A copy of thin prospectus has been duly filed for registration with the Registrar of the Companies.

Application for Shares should be made to the "Cojuany'e Bunkers, or the office of the General Managers, where forms will be supplied..
