_ The Company of Prowse Bros. Limited, is being formed for the purpose ' _ of carrying on a General Merchandise Business in Charlottetown and Sydney, " also a Lumber and Milling Business in Sonris, P. E. I. _ ' For this purpose the Coinpmy purpose taking over the splendid business, ‘ , The Goodwill, and the Pr0p_rty of the well known Firms of Pkowsn BROS., and

PRo\\'si~: Baos. & Co., at their fair market value, and to continue the business in

_ the most approved manner. . “ _ It is also purposed to enlarge the present business, taking in other lines ~ such as Boots and Shoes, Etc. To do this it is necessary to secure more capital, _ ' and it has been decided to do so in the only manner thoroughly approved by the ‘ _ business world-namely, forming a Joint Stock Company, with Limited ‘ Liability. _ /’ This has been done, and, in order to have as many as possible of our , customers interested in the Company, we purpose to sell Two Hundred and Fifty ' Shares of Stock in small lots at $r<o per share, to Farmers and others through- /' out the Island, believing that all such shareholders will be standing advertise

"‘, ments for the Company, and do all in their power to help the business in every ` way. ,f As soon as these shares have been sold, 2 meeting of all the share-

` '\ _ holders will be called and Directors elected, Bye Laws enacted and the Company- * Organization completed. _ _,t It is also purposed to pay 6 Per Cent Interest per annum on all shares, so "` sold in P. E, Island, and that the Provisional Directors will buy these shares ' back at the end of tive years from date of issue at $105 per share;this is intended

to equal an annual interest on the investment at the rate of 7 per cent. per

annum for 5 yea‘s.

The Business wl1i~ h the Company is taking over is one of the best, if not

_ the very best, paying businesses in P. E. Island tc-day, and is increasing every ,V `, yea; by large amounts. This is no doubt a gilt edged investment for the share-

o ers.

'I ‘./I’ ‘*\ f‘~'\.

f The management of the business will be in the hands`of the present

` , managers who have built up the business to its present magnificent proportions. ' It is also proposed that aftrr the payment of 6 per cent. per annum on all , shares cf the Company, the balance rf the net Earnings shall be transferred to . a reserve or rest account. `

‘ , The Dividends for Svc years at the ra'e of 6 per cent. a:e guafanteed by ., the Provisional Directors, L. E. Prowse, B. C. Prowse, and Edward Chandler. ' . Applications for shares can be made through our agents or personally ' at the lfead otllce of' the Comapny. Shares are not transferable, except at the

herd o5l:e of the company, and by consent of the Directors.

All IIIC goods in /our big

store not mentioned here are in our big sale. If yon d.on’t see what you want ask for it.

The reduction is sweeping-reason-we must convert all the goods possible into cash before we turn the business over to the new company. It’s good level headed' busi-

sess to do so-even though we may lose a little by it. Not a thing has been disturbed, the tag on each article tell its own story-Seeing is believing-therefore the 'only thing to dg in to come and see. , I

The Proof-If we cannot make good the claim that we are now selling better goods at lower prices than anyone else in town you can lly “Good-day” and wall: out. We

mean business, put ns to the test.
