PROSPECTUS .

T HIS Company has been formed to acquire the Goodwill and Copyright of the well-known Weekly Masonic Newspaper the " MASONIC STAR , " the first number of Avhich was issued on the 23 rd August , 1888 ; and to continue its publication . The paper was designed as an exponent of all matters affecting the Masonic Craft , as Avell at home as in the Colonies , and has now attained an important position amongst the Masonic journals of the world .

The price of the "M ASONIC STAR" is One Penny , and it will favourably compare with other higher priced Masonic journals as regards the usefulness of its contents to the brethren at large ; and it is expected by the medium of further publicity to increase its circulation . The Directors consider that the co-operation effected by means of a large proprietary interested in the Avelfare of the paper Avill lead to that result .

it is Avell-knoAvn that publications carried on Avith energy and economy SIIOAV considerable and increasing profits , and the Directors therefore have every confidence in recommending the Shares of the Company as a commercial investment .

Considerable expense and capital outlay have been incurred in the establishment and development of the " MASONIC STAR " of which the Company Avill ha \ r e the benefit . It is anticipated that , from the position the paper has already attained , little or no further outlay Avill be required under this head .

Mu . JAMES STKVENS , the present Editor , Avill continue to preside over the Editorial Department , and so soon as the purchase lias been completed he "will join the Board as Managing Director .
