PROSPECTUS OF “ The GISBORNE STANDARD Newspaper Company ” (To be Registered with Limited Liability, under “ The Companies Act, 1888 ”). CAPITAL £2,000, in 2,000 shares of £1 each, payable as follows: —One Shilling per Share on application, and One Shilling on allotment, and the balance when necessary by calls not exceeding One Shilling per Share, at intervals of not less than One Month. It is intended to allot only One-half of the Capital, that being deemed sufficient for the purposes of the Company. Provisional Directors : C. D. BENNETT JOHN COLEMAN W. H. TUCKER J. H. STUBBS JOHN TOWNLEY J. WHINBAY f | Company is formed for the purpose of acquiring from the present Holder (Mb J. A. Laing) the Copyright, Plant, Stock in Trade, Book Debts, and Goodwill of " THE GISBORNE STANDARD ” Newspaper, and of continuing the Publication of the same, and also for carrying on the business of Printers and Publishers in connection therewith. The marked success already secured by the GISBORNE STANDARD as an exponent of public opinion, and the increasing support being accorded to it, are in themselves a guarantee of its future progress as a Company. In view of the favorable prospects of the East Coast, the continuance of that progress can scarcely be doubted. The present time the Promoters believe to be particularly opportune for embarking in such an enterprise as is now placed before the public. From all quarters, indications point unmistakably to the fact that the East Coast, as well as the colony generally, is emerging from the long period of depression, and entering upon a new and prosperous era. In no part of the colony are the prospects more favorable than in this magnificent district. As an outlet for the produce of a large

area of the best agricultural and pastoral lands in the colony, Gisborne, as the capital of the East Coast, stands unrivalled. Large areas of Crown and other lands are being taken up upon terms remarkably favorable to settlement, still further developing the district’s splendid resources. The increased price of wool and agricultural produce, the establishment of the frozen meat industry, combined with the excellent facilities shortly to be afforded for exporting the products of the district, all warrant the conclusion that we are rapidly approaching a period of permanent prosperity. To aid in promoting that prosperity; to represent and advocate the best interests of the public, and the well-being of the community generally, would be the aim and object of the GISBORNE STANDARD. The Promoters feel assured that a journal conducted upon such a basis as they submit would be an engine of vast public good. THE POPULAR AIB-DEESSING jgALOON. HAIR CUT FOB SIXPENCE! R.
