MUTUAL INVESTMENT PROVIDENT
COMPANY, LIMITED.
The abridged prospectus appears to-day of
the Mutual Investment Provident Company,
Limited, with a capital of £2,500,000 in shares
of £1 Shares to the number of 1,760,000
are offered for public subscription.
The purchase price is £60, 000 in cash, and
£240,000 in fully paid-up shares. The com-
pany may proceed to allotment when 75,000
shares are applied for, which would leave a
working capital of £15,000 if the vendors take
their cash. They agree to retain the man-
agement and at least 25 per cent of their
fully paid-up shares for at least 10 years and
no dividend will be payable on the vendors'
shares in the first year unless 5 per cent or
more is declared on the paid-up capital. The
company proposes to acquire certain timber
areas from the vendors, and will engage in
the erection of houses and the manufacture
of furniture. An estimate of the value of
the timber is given, but nothing is said as to
the quality and the cost of working. A
great deal is said as to the need which exists
for houses in Australia, and of what has
been done in Los Angeles but little informa-
tion is given of the scheme on which the
company proposes to do its part in supplying
that need. Messrs. C. MacLeod, company
manager of Sydney and Melbourne, and Henry
Joyce, engineer and timber expert, of Fern
Gully, Faulconbridge are the directors. Men-
tion is made of a permanent director.
