We published in 1891 a small pamphlet, advertising our success in obtaining the First Award at "The N.Z. & S.S. Exhibition against the world, also a Special Award, for the best Cement exhibited." That the Awards were fully appreciated by us goes without saying, and that we have been jealous of maintaining the good opinion expressed by the jurors is evidenced by the general favour our "Maori Brand" has obtained throughout New Zealand.

We have now an established reputation for producing a Portland Cement guaranteed fully equal to the best average English Cement—it is therefore obvious that the use of the guaranteed local article will be more satisfactory than that of the imported Cements, which may be good, bad, or indifferent.

We now offer for your acceptance the accompanying notes on Portland Cement, at the same time heartily thanking the numerous architects, engineers, contractors and others who have so loyally supported our industry.
