N.Z. HOME BUILDERS, LTD.

It is really marvellous when one considers the strides New Zealand Home Builders, Ltd., have made in the first year of.their work. One of the most outstanding features to bring this home to tho outside observer is the number of people employed by the company to keep their business going. In the first place the office staff has to be considered. One year ago they numbered two, and those two wore able to take care of the whole of the work. To-day they employ 14 people in their head office alone, and not one of them could be done without. Apart from tins, some clerical work is also transacted at their different, workshops. The outside workmen number IK), and arc at present distributed over nine different towns. The present weekly pay-roll well exceeds £4OO. All this growth has been built up within twelye months, and at that the first twelve months of our life. Air J. A. Hoban. representative of the company, is at ore,sent in Gisborne, and may be consulted at the Masonic Hotel. He leaves for the Coast on Alonday morning.
