nMHIS COMPANY has been formed to provide an independent Fish Exchange for London. The 

 vast and ever-increasing population of the Metropolis has long since proved the insufficiency 

 of Billingsgate. The public demand a central building for supplying and delivering Fish, a most 

 important article of diet alike a necessity and a luxury at a minimum cost. 



The Company will be their own salesmen for all fish directly consigned to them, in accordance 

 with the recommendation of the Committee of the Corporation appointed to inquire into the subject 

 of the Fish Supply. This will be a reliable test of the actual wholesale price. 



On the lower floors of the Exchange'," Cold " or Refrigerating Rooms will be constructed, in 

 which Fish not required for immediate sale may be kept without deterioration. 



The Directors propose to make arrangements with the London Chatham and Dover Railway 

 to run fish trucks direct into the Fish Exchange from their new line, which will be on the same 

 level as the Upper Exchange, and also with the District Railway, thus allowing the trade, whose 

 business is contiguous to this great circle of communication, to attend the Exchange at all reasonable 

 hours and convey their purchases direct to their places of business, avoiding the delay of driving 

 through London. 



The importance and completeness of the site, and of the arrangements for the purpose of this 

 undertaking, will be obvious on reference to plans, which may be seen at the Offices of the Ctirn- 

 pany. A considerable area, both on the land side and on the river, is ready to be handed over to 

 the Company. It is the intention of the Directors to have this Exchange free and open, thoroughly 

 independent of any so-called " ring." 



Copies of the Agreements, Memorandum and Articles of Association may be seen, and 

 Prospectuses with full particulars, Plans, reprints of Opinions of the Press, and every informatioi) 

 may be obtained, on application to the Secretary at the Offices of the Company.
