A large number of prominent players have promised to take shares, and
advertise, not only in the advertisement columns, but in other parts
of the proposed paper.
The price of the paper will be hereafter settled by the Directors,
who feel that this is a mere matter of detail. The charge for
advertisements will be very moderate, to suit the requirements of
the shareholders.
Pictures and all sorts of clever things will be introduced when the
capital is subscribed, but it's no use making promises until the
bankers have got the money.
If there is a rush for shares (as anticipated), those who come first
will have the preference.
It may be stated that lots of people have promised to become
shareholders which is satisfactory. But it is necessary to add that
no one will be permitted to become a contributor to the paper even of
the most interesting nature (i.e., Press notices, &c.), until he has
contributed to its capital.
It is the intention of the Promoters that the majority of the shares
that be allotted to persons in or connected with the profession, so
that there shall be no nonsense from outsiders.
