 aim of the Company is to assist in every way the development of the sugar industry 

 in this country. 



Its agricultural department will thoroughly investigate questions of climate and

 and all supplies necessary for the process of sugar making. All investigations are 

 made by expert agriculturists, familiar with the raising of sugar plants in this country t

 in every respect, and will be prepared to guarantee their capacity. The Company is 

 able to undertake the full equipment of a newly built factory with the necessary 

 officers and men, and will run the factory, if desired, for the first year. 



It is, in fact, a headquarters of general information, and invites consultation on 

 all questions concerning the industry. Its work is done only by men of high experi- 

 ence and responsibility. The industry of sugar producing is comparatively a new ona 

 in this country, and only a few people are familiar with it. Therefore it is one of the 

 best features of this Company, that it will not only furnish the necessary machinery, 

 seed, etc., but also the experienced men who will assist in planting and raising the 

 crop and in manufacturing the sugar. 



The names of the officers are a sufficient guarantee of the ability of the Company 

 to do its work. Mr. Oxnard and his brothers have been successfully connected during 

 their lives with the production and manufacture of sugar in this country. Mr. 

 Hamilton has been secretary of various sugar factories since they have been in exist- 

 ence. Mr. Baur has been 20 years in the sugar business in this country, and is also 

 very familiar with the business abroad.
