Any number of Shares may be taken; and there is no personal liability,
every Member being allowed to withdraw, under the rules, when he choses,
his subscriptions at ten days’ notice. The taking of land is quite
optional: a Shareholder may be either an investor or an allottee, or
both, at his pleasure.
The First Payment on an uncompleted Share is 12s. 6d.; the subsequent
Monthly Payments, 8s., with 1s. every Third Month for quarterage, to meet
working expenses.
The CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY is thus open to every class of the
community, with an equally adjusted system on the mutual principle, and
is now universally acknowledged to be one of the most eligible
investments of the day.
For Prospectuses, containing a list of the Noblemen, Members of
Parliament, and other Gentlemen (upwards of seventy in number), on the
Executive and General Committees, &c., apply to
CHARLES LEWIS GRUNEISEN, _Secretary_,
OFFICES:—No. 33, NORFOLK STREET, STRAND, LONDON.
OR TO
MR. THOMAS HUGHES, 4, PARADISE ROW, CHESTER.
Payments on Shares can be remitted by cheques, bank notes, provincial
notes (if payable in London), post-office orders (in the name of the
Secretary), or postage stamps. The Society has on its Register, Members
in China, India, the Mauritius, on the Continent, and in all parts of the
United Kingdom; the interests of the most distant Shareholders being
carefully attended to.
Persons desiring the Freehold Franchise in Counties, can acquire plots of
Land of adequate value, without any trouble beyond that of forwarding the
price of the plot they may select, on any Estate, after inspection of the
Plan.
