Under the direotion of a Council arid Managing Committee appointed by the Shareholders . 5 s . per share to bo paid on application , and 5 s . per share at one month after allotment ..

OFFICES AND MANUFACTORY . Nos . 1 , 2 , and 3 , GOUGH STREET NORTH , Gray ' s Inn Road , W . ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS . mHE leading feature of this Company is , that it investigates JL the merit of any invention submitted to it , by the aid of scientific and practical men , selected with special regard to their qualifications , as impartial judges . Such inventions as are approved are patented or registered , and manufactured by the Company , for sale , on a scale sufficient to establish their value , without cost to the inventor , who will share , under agreement , in all profits arising- therefrom . As an earnest of these intentions , the Managing Committee have secured a long lease , on most advantageous terms , of extensive premises , containing a spacious manufactory , provided with suitable plant , where models can be made and tried , and patented articles manufactured tor sale . "Valuable patents , already arranged for , are now being so manufactured , at a nett profit of 300 per cent . ; while several very promising inventions are under consideration . The advantages thus enumerated justify the Directors in recommeridin" - the undertaking to the notice of small capitalists , as ah investment well worthy their special consideration .. ¦ . . . That the large mass of inventors are unable to . carry out their designs , is a fact patent to most practical observers . It is equally true that a great number of cases only require the judgment and kindly assistance of scientific and practical men to render them productive of immense public benefit . It is incontrovertible that our national importance and wealth-have been more promoted by inventors than by any other class of men . Arkwright , ~ "YVatt , Cort , Stephenson , and others scarcely less eminent , have produced an amount of wealth almost beyond calculation , though their inventions were received at first with coolness and incredulity . In short , all the improvements for our convenience and comfort , dating from a state of barbarity to one of high civilisation , arc but the cumulative results of inventive inr genuity . It must not be overlooked by the Shareholder that a patent gives an exclusive trade with the customers of the world , and that this Company will possess in no common degree such advantages as will , on the average , be immensely productive , and ensure a dividend that may surprise , and must satisfy all investors . Applications for Shares , and full Prospectuses giving the fullest information ; to be made personally , or by letter , to the Secretary , at the Offices , as above .
