COMPANY MEETING-

BRIGHT FUTURE-FOR Å

LOCAL CONCERN

The first annual General meeting of the China Agricultural Devolopment Company, Limited, was held at the offices of the company, No. 8 Des Voeux Road Central, on Tuesday last. There were present Mr. L. Dowdail, Chairman of Directors, Messrs. C. Champkin, W. J. Hansen and F. M. Ellis, Directors, and shareholderá ro presenting 6,271 shares,

The notice calling the meeting was read and the minutes of the last general meeting were read and passed.

The Chairman, addressing the most ing said:

Ladies and Gentlemen, before put ting the report and balanco shoot before the meeting I will give you a report on the progress which we have mado In the first ten and a half months of working.

The total revenue expenditure for this period was $33,094.57. in viow of the magnitude of the potential market and of the profits to be made in mixed fertilizers in China this amount must be considered very small. If this expenditure is compared with the monoy spent in introducing their products by any of the other fertilizer companies now millions of dollars worth of business in China, will be seen to be very small indeed. If, on the other hand, through this expenditure, that is to say the sale in the first ten and a half months of business of nearly $31.000 worth of our Completo Mixed Fer- tilizers, is considered, we are bound to admit that these results are gratify: Ing.

Our remarkable stress is attributable to the fact that Complete Mixed Fertilizers are essential to the success of agriculture in China and they have not hitherto been available to the inuss of Chinese

Money-Back Promtio,

Most of our sales ware made under the agreement that if they were hot satisfactory they could be returned and the money would be refunded. The fact that we have been paid and have received many ropeat orders is convincing evidence that we have a very bright future before us which 1s limited only by finance it.

We have made many cash sales and the fact that we were able to do so speaks very well for the name our Chop has established for itself. The Chinoso farmer does not buy fortul- zers on trust.
