The catalogue of Messrs. .Vaile and Sons advertised v in this issue, is excellently arranged/ and contains particulars of 2000 properties, the estimated value of which is not less than -22,000,000. A map of the Auckland Province, 60 divided and marked, enables the reader at' a glance to "know exactly where any property is situated. Reference is mado to a speech of the chairman of tho Bank of New Zealand at the annual meeting on June 20,1907, in the course of which the' speaker, referring to the transactions in. country 'lands of the Dominion, said, "Of this area of 2,056,481 acres, 1,201,068 acres are'in the North Island, and only 794,513 acres in the ' South Island, indicating very clcarly- that .settlement is progressing much more rapidly m the North than in the South Island.. Moreover, the march of'settlement is most noticeable in, the Auckland Province, where there happens to bo the greatest scope for expansion, and whero land is comparatively cheapest." Tho catalogue is certainly "got up" very well. Messrs. Vaile and Sons point out that the command of large sums of money enables theui frequently to assist purchasers to do business, while their arrangements for showing properties to intending purchasers aro perfect.
